e College Finder posted a fun article where they pick the entire NCAA tournament by determining who has the tougher mascot.
Here’s a sample…
1. Connecticut Huskies
16. UT Chattanooga Mocs
Very interesting matchup here. Not the Huskies. We all know what a husky is. It’s a dog. A crazy dog. They like to pull sleds. And shed.
Now as for the Mocs, I’m baffled. Apparently, so is UT Chattanooga. Originally they were the Moccasins, represented by the water moccasin.
In case you can’t tell, that’s a snake. In the water! Oh. Dear. God. That is my number one fear. Is anywhere safe?! Foolishly, UT Chattanooga switched to being represented by a shoe. Come on now. Not cool.
Then, in the 1970s they switched to having a mascot known as Chief Moccanooga. Wow. In a move that could only mean that someone there was finally using common sense (aka not the guy who got rid of the water moccasins) they rid themselves of the Chief and went to the currently used Mocs, which is represented by a mockingbird driving a train. Zany!
UT Chattanooga, for your flip-flopping, fickle, absurd approach to a very serious matter you have lost to a fluffy dog, which, coincidentally, is terrified of snakes (side note: not true).
Huskies advance.
It’s long, but if you’re killing time waiting for the tournament to start, it’s a great read.
