CHATTANOOGA---The 9th-ranked Chattanooga Mocs and North Alabama share Finley Stadium Saturday night at 6 p.m. There's a lot of information that goes with the event this weekend with alums old and new converging on a Homecoming Saturday.
"Homecoming is a big deal," senior quarterback
Cole Copeland shared. "Everybody comes back to celebrate just a great university, a great tradition of football as well. It's nice to see because Chattanooga Football definitely means something to a lot of people."
As the next generation of being a Moc in his family, his Uncle Chad Copeland was the 1994 Southern Conference Basketball Player of the Year, he's clued into Chattanooga Homecoming. That's something deep in the DNA of another key Moc as well.
"I would always enjoy getting to meet my dad's old teammates," senior linebacker
Ty Boeck added about memories of Homecoming growing up with former UTC student-athletes Troy (football) and Karin (basketball) as parents. "You know, I always got to eat with them before and after the game. That was always cool.
"It gave me kind of that sense of what it was like to have teammates in college. And now that I'm here, you know, I'm really thankful for it."
Here's all you need to know for Saturday…

MOC WALK/MOC ROCK
The Moc Walk tradition continues this season with the team arriving at First Horizon Pavilion and making their way through our phenomenal tailgating area next to Finley Stadium. Fans are encouraged to social distance from the team during this time utilizing applause and "air fives" over physical contact. The Moc Walk is approximately 2:15 prior to kickoff, in this case, 3:45 p.m.
The Marching Mocs, 125 members strong, are poised for a fantastic debut. They are also offering a new gameday feature, the Mocs Rock Concert. It starts 45 minutes before game time (5:15 pm this week) in conjunction with the spirit parade through the Pavilion signaling the fans' move to the stadium.
CLEAR BAG POLICY
There is a clear bag policy in place for all Mocs athletics events. Fans are allowed to bring in one plastic, vinyl or PVC clear bag that does not exceed 12" x 6" x 12" to home games at Finley Stadium.
