The Chattanooga community is invited to kickoff the Mocs' 2010 football season with a pep rally on Friday, September 3, at noon in Miller Plaza in downtown Chattanooga.
The event, sponsored by River City Company, will feature Mocs Football Head Coach Russ Huesman, players, coaches, music from the Marching Mocs and plenty of Blue and Gold spirit led by the UTC Cheerleaders and Sugar Mocs.
The Mocs will battle defending SoCon Champion Appalachian State at Finley Stadium on Saturday, September 4. Kickoff is at 3 p.m.
"We want everyone to be a Moc! You certainly don't have to be a UTC student or graduate to be a Mocs fan. We are the Chattanooga Mocs!" said UTC Chancellor Roger Brown. "Ticket sales for this season have reached a record high, so fans are obviously very excited about the upcoming season. It means a lot to our student athletes to have such strong community support."
