Chris BonoFocus on 125, 141 and 285January 16, 2008 Thanks to heavy weight Matt Lettner I got picked up during the Mocs Practice and watched Chris Bono at work coaching. He didnt even know what a Moc is but I think we figured it out in the end....it is a bird who happens to be chillin on a train. We get to see a lil bit of how Chris Bono is running practice. Then I went and chilled at Javier Maldonado's and Cody Cleveland's place. They got some cool stuff there including guitar hero....we kept that footage out though for personal reasons.

The mascot has taken on three distinct forms, with a water moccasin being the mascot in the 1920s, and then a moccasin shoe (known as "The Shoe") was actually used as the school's mascot at times in the 1960s and '70s. From the 1970s until 1996, the mascot was Chief Moccanooga, an exaggerated Cherokee tribesman.
In 1996, due in large part to concerns over ethnic sensitivity raised by a lone activist,[1] the Moccasins name was dropped, and the Mocs nickname adopted. A new mascot, "Scrappy," an anthropomorphized mockingbird dressed as a railroad engineer, was adopted at the same time. The school's main athletic logo features Scrappy riding a train (a reference to Chattanooga's history as a major railroad hub and to the song "Chattanooga Choo Choo"). The mascot takes its name from former football coach A.C. "Scrappy" Moore. The Mocs basketball program has also always enjoyed the support of the Moc Maniac, who works the loudspeaker at home games and travels with the team to post-season tournaments.
