Chattanooga Is Home

The UTC Mocs football team sprang back into action tonight in their season opener against the Carson-Newman Eagles. Unfortunately the game was a loss at 29-17.

My husband took our son to see some of the game, to support the local college team. Tickets were about $22 for general admission (one of those was a kids priced ticket). Since the attention span of an almost three year old is about the same as a house fly, they left after two touchdowns but before Antonio Miller’s injury.

At the end of the Mocs Basketball season, I wrote about ways to combat apathy in the UTC sports programs. Since tickets are cheap (and there will be coupons in the 2007-2008 Kids First Coupon Books) I think our family will make efforts to be at several of the home games supporting the home team.

I hope other Chattanoogans do the same. If you are wondering when you can catch the UTC Mocs football team, here is the rest of the schedule:
