There is no moccasin tribe. Maybe it was their logo. Could you be more specific? I don't remember it.

Same people that pressured the Braves, Redskins St Johns etc. Chattanooga shortened it to Mocs and went with the Mocking bird as the mascot instead of the Indian.

Thanks. Tennessee state bird.

They once used a pair of shoes (maybe one shoe) and also at one time...a snake as their logo. I didn't know that. It's at the link I posted ... under..."what is a moc?".

The bear won. What's the deal with Col again? What's their official stance on who Col is? And who pressured them?

I would imagine, like most all universities, their own educators pressured them more than anyone.

EDIT: UT Chattanooga is still the Mocs.

I always assumed they were named after the snake.

I didn't see the "What is a moc?" section in your link, but the NYT, bastion of journalistic integrity, says the same:
