WHAT’S IN A NAME?The offi cial school name is the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga which is the proper usage in fi rst reference to the athletics program. The appropriate short form is simply Chattanooga with the abbreviated form of UTC. “Chatt” is acceptable as a leaderboard moniker. There is no hyphenated form of the school name (i.e. UT-Chattanooga, Tennessee-Chattanooga, Tenn.-Chatt., UT Chattanooga, etc.). The nickname is simply Mocs. For more information and current athletic marks, turn to page 14.
NO. 1 IN THE NATIONThe Chattanooga Mocs men’s golf team has twice been ranked No. 1 in the nation by Golfstat. Both occurences came in fall rankings in 2008 and 2009. In both cases, the Mocs started strong at the Carpet Capital Collegiate Classic with a win in 2008 and runner-up in 2009.
FORMER MOCS IN PROFESSIONAL GOLFAmong the numerous golfi ng alums of the University, there are several in the world of professional golf. Recent grads Bryce Ledford (‘07), Jonathan Hodge (‘10) and Derek Rende (‘10) are working their way up through the myriad of tours (e.g. Hooters, eGolf, etc.). Kip Henley (‘82) was the winner of the Golf Channel’s Big Break II and recently caddied for PGA Tour pro Brian Gay.

ACADEMICALLYMocs student-athletes continue to have tremendous success in the classroom. Below are just a few academic accolades Chattanooga student-athletes accomplished last year: • The overall student-athlete g.p.a. increased each of the last
six semesters, culminating with a record 2.97 in the spring.
• Over half of all UTC student-athletes earned at least a 3.0
grade-point-average in each of the last four semesters.
• Each member of the SoCon Champion women’s golf team
made the Dean’s List in both the fall and spring semesters.
• Wrestling had a 3.14 g.p.a. for the year, ranking No. 7 in the
nation.
SOCIALLYThe Chattanooga Mocs Athletics Department is heavily
involved in community events throughout the year. Student-athletes are well represented in the annual Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure and are always involved with local projects such as canned food drives, Freshman Move-In and other activities throughout Chattanooga.
The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) plans many of the Athletic Department’s community events. The Mocs also have a presence at Chattanooga’s Special Olympics events each year. The Mocs also host many events that engage the local community, such as the 2011 SoCon Basketball Championships.

WHAT’S A MOC?NICKNAME & MARKSNICKNAME & MARKS
THE ANSWER For more than a decade, this question has puzzled many fans and observers of
Chattanooga Athletics.
The UTC Athletics Department changed logos in 1997, moving away from Native
American imagery to a package of logos using railroad images, the nickname “Mocs” and
the Scrappy mascot. The new package emphasized UTC’s connection to Chattanooga and
the city’s railroad heritage and incorporated the Tennessee state bird.
The term “Moc” is short for “Mockingbird.” Mockingbirds are fi ercely territorial
creatures which protect their homes with courage, determination and skill. Those attributes
refl ect the intellect, spirit and character of UTC student-athletes and alumni. A Moc is a
champion on the playing surface, in the classroom and, most importantly, in life.
SCRAPPY Named after legendary football coach A.C. “Scrappy” Moore, Scrappy, the
Chattanooga mascot, is a fi xture for the Mocs. A re-design in 2008 puts Scrappy in the
image of the State Bird of Tennessee, the Mockingbird. The mockingbird is known as a
fi erce protector of its nest and environment. It is sometimes seen swooping down on a
dog, cat or predator that may be venturing too close to the bird’s protected territory. Once
described by “Late Night” host Jimmy Fallon as “a sledge-hammer wielding mockingbird
with a heart of Blue & Gold,” Scrappy symbolizes that competitive passion.
WHY MOCS?Faced with politically sensitive issues and in need of a stronger core identity
to help establish a strong brand as Chattanooga’s Team, the athletics department
embarked on a comprehensive identity program in 1996. A new direction for the
athletics identity was determined, moving away from the politically incorrect Native
American Indian imagery.
Several identities have been used in the past. With the old nickname “Moccasins,”
a snake was used in the 1920s and an Indian was used until the year of major change in
1996. A moccasin shoe was even used in the 1980s.
In 1996, it was decided to adopt the State Bird of Tennessee, the Mockingbird,
as the core of the new identity, while incorporating the strong regional imagery of
Chattanooga’s vast railroad history. The mascot “Scrappy” was born and a new emphasis
was placed on the athletics department’s role in the region.
The committee also recognized the need for the word “Chattanooga” to have a
great emphasis in the logo. The nickname “Moccasins” was shortened to simply “Mocs”.
Thus established, Chattanooga could rebuild its athletics programs and initiatives
around this new identity.
And rebuild it did. Quickly establishing the identity program in February 1997,
combined with tremendous success in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, UTC had
positioned itself to reach for the next level.
From 1997 to 2007, the primary logo was the mascot, Scrappy, riding a train. The
secondary logo features the front of a train with the word Mocs built into the logo. This
logo is aff ectionately called the “Cowcatcher logo,” referring to the front lower grill of the
train that helped push objects from the train tracks.
In August 2007, offi cials at Chattanooga updated the school’s marks. A new C logo,
the “Power C” as it has become
known to fans and alums, was
created as the primary mark
and is emblazoned on the side
of the football team’s helmets.
The secondary marks were
updated with a more modern
look, and a new font, unique
to the school, is now used on
the text areas of the logos and
marks.
In September 2008,
Scrappy was re-branded to
better match the image of a
mockingbird and refl ect the
rich tradition of our state, our
city and our University. New
marks of the head as well as
a full body were released. The
program has also been taking
special eff orts to stay true
to its color palette—which
includes navy blue and old
gold.
Secondary Athletics Marks:
The “Power C” is the primary mark of the Chattanooga athletics department. It can be used alone or with “CHATTANOOGA MOCS” in the school’s custom-made font below the C.

MARK GUHNESEVENTH SEASONSEVENTH SEASON
In his six seasons as head coach, Mark Guhne
(pronounced JUNE) has led his alma mater to
unprecedented heights in men’s golf. Guhne has
spearheaded a consistent presence in the national
rankings.
Twice Chattanooga has achieved a No. 1 ranking.
This fi rst occurred in the fall of 2008. The Mocs again
reached the pinnacle in the fall of 2009.
His 2010-11 squad showcased his ability to continue
moving the program forward. His No. 1-ranked squads
did so with a remarkably similar roster. The 2010-11 team had just one junior (Stephan
Jaeger) and a sophomore (Steven Fox) to go with three freshmen in the lineup.
That group had the fewest losses in Guhne’s six seasons with just 41 in 11 events. The
young squad had many memorable moments. They knocked off three top 15 programs
in national runner-up Georgia, Stanford and Iowa in a week’s time fi nishing second at the
Linger Longer and LSU National Invites to Alabama and LSU, respectively.
UTC boasted two medalist wins as well. Redshirt freshman Chris Robb won in his second
collegiate event shooting nine-under par at the Springhill Suites Collegiate in fall. Jaeger
captured his fi rst win against a strong fi eld at LSU shooting seven under and winning by
seven as the only player to beat par for the 54 holes.
Jaeger repeated as SoCon Golfer of Year and PING All-Region. He was joined on the All-
SoCon team by Steven Fox and Benni Weilguni.
Jaeger also earned Cleveland Golf/Srixon
All-America Scholar recognition.
The Mocs ended the season ranked
No 38 on the Golfweek/Sagarin
Performance Index and No. 36 on
Golfstat while receiving votes on the
Golf World/NIKE Coaches Poll. UTC
also made its fi fth straight trip to
regionals.
The 2009-10 squad matched the
No. 1 ranking from the previous
fall after a runner-up fi nish at
the prestigious Carpet Capital
Collegiate. Guhne led his team
to a win at the Cleveland Golf
Palmetto Intercollegiate and a
fourth-consecutive NCAA
Regional berth that season
with several individual
accolades.
Jaeger earned his fi rst
Southern Conference
Golfer of the Year honor as he and senior Derek Rende claimed PING All-Region as well. It
was Rende’s third such nod and Jaeger’s second in as many years. Rende earned a fourth
All-SoCon team selection, while Jaeger garnered his second. Rende also scored his second
Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar nod.
The fi rst No. 1 national ranking came early in the fall of 2008 after the Mocs opened with
wins at the Aldila Scenic City Invitational and at the prestigious Carpet Capital Collegiate.
The Mocs won their third straight Southern Conference Championship and in its third
NCAA Regional appearance, Guhne’s charges earned their way to the NCAA Finals at
Inverness.
The third-place fi nish in the 2009 South Central Regional was not the only highlight
during the 2008-09 season. Three wins in 2008-09 coupled with another top 25 fi nal
ranking showed the Mocs commitment toward developing consistency on the national
scene.
Among the three wins in 2008-09 was a third straight Southern Conference
Championship. Rende and Ben Rickett were joined on the All-SoCon team by Jaeger who
also earned Freshman of the Year honors in the league. It was the third year the Mocs
placed three or more student-athletes on the all-league squad.
For the fi rst time in school history, the Mocs posted three members on the PING All-
Region team. Rende repeated on the team and was joined by Rickett and Jaeger. Rende
became the fi rst Mocs golfer to earn Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar honors.
The 2007-08 season saw the Mocs fi nish in the top 15 of the three major rankings with
a high of No. 12 in the Golfweek/Sagarin Ratings Index. Chattanooga ranked No. 14 in
the Golf World/Nike Golf Coaches’ Poll as well as in the Golfstat rankings. The team set a
school record with fi ve team titles, breaking the previous season mark of four.
Individually, the Mocs placed three players in the top 100 rankings (Golfweek/Sagarin)

Rende won the 2007 Tennessee State Open and then followed in 2008 with a win at the
Tennessee State Amateur. Hodge qualifi ed for the Western Refi ning All-American in 2008
and played a phenomenal summer schedule which included a third-round fi nish at the
North/South Amateur. Jaeger was a wild-card entry in the 2011 BMW International Open
on the European Tour.
Guhne was elevated to the head coaching position on March 1, 2005, after three seasons
serving as assistant coach to Reed Sanderlin. A PGA professional, Guhne has earned Class
A status and was the 2007 Horton Smith Award winner. He was elected president of the
Chattanooga chapter of the PGA in 2008.
Among his recent playing accomplishments, Guhne was selected to the 2007 Tennessee
Challenge Cup team. In 2003 and 2004, he represented Tennessee in the Tennessee vs.
Georgia PGA Cup Matches.
Mark and his wife Kelly are both Chattanooga graduates with each earning degrees in
1984. The couple resides in Hixson, Tenn. He is an avid fi sherman in his spare time and is
regaining his amateur status as a golfer.
Golfstat Cup with Hodge at 18, Rende
at 66 and Qvicker at 99. Hodge set the
single-season record with three titles
in 2007-08 repeating as SoCon Golfer
of the Year.
With Guhne at the helm, the Mocs have
won 14 team titles and eight medalist
honors. Guhne has three SoCon Coach
of the Year honors, and his players have
won four Player of the Year awards,
two Freshman of the Year and had 17
all-conference selections under his
tutelage to go with second-team All-
America honors for Hodge in 2008 as
well as eight All-Region mentions.
His fi rst season (2006), Chattanooga
posted its best conference fi nish (tie
3rd) in 20 years and Guhne earned
his fi rst Coach of the Year honor. He
followed that by leading the Mocs to
their fi rst Southern Conference title
since 1987 in 2007, with Jonathan
Hodge earning SoCon Player of the Year,
Derek Rende, Freshman of the Year, and
Guhne, Coach of the Year once again.
The Mocs fi nished 2006-07 ranked 47th

2011-12 OUTLOOKMOCS LOOK FOR RETURN TO NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPMOCS LOOK FOR RETURN TO NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP
The 2011-12 Chattanooga Mocs
golf team looks remarkably
similar to the 2010-11 model. All
fi ve starters return from a team
that had the second-best scoring
average (289.95) in school
history.
“We have a lot to build on from
last year,” said head coach Mark
Guhne. “I’m proud of the way we
grew as a young team. It has me
really excited to get started this
September.”
Two-time Southern Conference
Golfer of the Year and three-time
PING All-East Region performer
Stephan Jaeger (Munich, Germany) returns for his senior campaign. Jaeger is the team’s
unquestioned leader and a strong candidate for All-American honors in 2011-12.
“It starts and ends with Jaeger for us,” Guhne added. “It’s certainly a team game, but
he sets the tone. His work ethic is off the charts. He’s exactly what you want in a No. 1
player.”
Jaeger is coming off a season where he averaged 71.67 strokes per round which totaled
one-under par for the season. He counted in all 30 team rounds leading his comrades
with six in the 60’s and 18 total par or better with fi ve top 10s. Jaeger also captured his
fi rst collegiate win at the LSU National Invitational shooting seven under to win by seven
shots over a strong fi eld.
Junior Steven Fox (Hendersonville, Tenn.) looks to improve on his sophomore season. Fox
averaged a touch over 73 shots per round which ranks 10th all-time in school history. He
claimed the Tennessee Golf Association Match Play Championship over the summer.
Sophomores Davis Bunn (Knoxville, Tenn.), Chris Robb (Aberdeenshire, Scotland) and
Benni Weilguni (Langelois, Austria) are all back as well giving the team a solid balance
of experience and foundation for the future. Weilguni was third on the team last year
with a 73.67 scoring average. Bunn was fourth at 73.85, while Robb’s 74.18 rounded out
the squad. Weilguni (All-SoCon, SoCon All-Freshman) and Bunn (SoCon All-Freshman)
captured postseason accolades, while Robb won his second career start at the SpringHill
Suites Collegiate.
“There is a lot to like about all fi ve
returning starters,” Guhne stated.
“There were a lot of questions at
this time last season. This year I
think we have a lot of answers.
But there is a lot of competition
as well.”
That competition comes in
the form of three student-
athletes. Junior Alex Ratliff
(Kingsport, Tenn.) and sophomore
McKeehanon Rue (Athens, Tenn.)
return to the mix while Guhne
signed another top Scottish junior. Liam Johnston (Dumfries, Scotland) fi nished second in
the Scottish Boys Match Play and Stroke Play Championships in 2011.
“Alex and McKeehanon have worked really hard and bring a lot to the squad,” Guhne said.
“Liam looks like he will push really hard for a spot from the get go.”
The Mocs open the season at “The Masters of College Golf” at the Carpet Capital Collegiate
Classic. The fi rst event is always highly anticipated, but even more so when talking about
one of the top tournaments in country at The Farm in nearby Dalton, Ga.
“When we won in 2008, I don’t think I’ve ever been happier as a coach,” Guhne continued.
“It is defi nitely one of the highlights of my career. It’s a special tournament at a special
place.”
UTC is off for a little more than two weeks before a run of three tournaments in two
weeks. The Mocs go to Burlington, Iowa (Spirit Hollow G.C.) for the Golfweek Conference
Challenge. That is followed by the Rees Jones Invitational (Haig Pont G.C.) October 3-4 in
Daufuskie Island, S.C.
Chattanooga quickly returns to the course Oct. 7-9 with a return trip to Macon, Ga.,
(Brickyard at Riverside) for the Brickyard Collegiate. It closes out the fall slate at the new
AutoTrader.com Collegiate Classic in Duluth, Ga. (Berkeley Hills C.C.).
“It’s a very solid fall schedule,” Guhne noted. “We will be tested early and it should be
great preparation for the spring.”
The Mocs are headed to a new event on the spring slate before an old standby. They open
February 26-27 at the Seahawk
Intercollegiate (C.C. of Landfall
– Nicklaus) before heading back
to Aiken, S.C., for the Cleveland
Golf Palmetto Intercollegiate
(Palmetto G.C.) March 5-6.
After another small break, the

proven academic leader
and native Tennessean,
is the 15th head of The

2006.
Under Brown’s leader-
ship, the campus has experienced record enrollment growth

more than 10,000 students in fall 2009. Since taking the
helm of the Chattanooga campus, he has promoted UTC’s
mission as a metropolitan university with special emphasis
in the fi elds of science, mathematics and technology. Brown
has also pledged the campus’ commitment to teacher

and cultural appreciation.
UTC recently completed a strategic planning initiative that
focuses campus eff orts on the power of partnerships,
especially relationships within the learning laboratory of
Chattanooga. In 2008, Chattanooga earned the Community
Engagement designation by the Carnegie Foundation for the
Advancement of Teaching in recognition of its many
successful partnerships in the community.
The campus facilities have also seen a tremendous upgrade
under Brown’s leadership. Among the many improvements
include the new Aquatics and Recreation Center and Brenda
Lawson Student-Athlete Success Center, while a new
state-of-the-art library is under construction.
Brown came to Chattanooga from the University of North

American government, Brown earned bachelor’s and
master’s degrees in Political Science from the University
of Tennessee and the Ph.D. in Political Science from The
Johns Hopkins University. He began his teaching career
at Iowa State University in 1983 before joining the UNC
Charlotte faculty in 1985.
In 2002, Brown was appointed to the inaugural
delegation of the American Association of State
Colleges and Universities Sino-American Leadership

in China. He has traveled on assignment for the U.S.
Department of State to Syria, Jordan and Israel. He
also helped establish international exchanges with
universities in Germany, France, South Korea and
South Africa.
In Chattanooga, Brown is a member of Rotary
International and has also been named to the United
Way of Greater Chattanooga Board of Directors, the
RiverCity Company Board and the Chattanooga Area
Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. He is a
commissioner of the Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools and has been appointed to the
Southeast Tennessee PreK-16 Education Council.
A strong supporter of athletics, Dr. Brown recently
agreed to serve as the Chair of the Southern Confer-
ence Council of Presidents. This appointment runs
through the 2011-12 academic year.

When Rick Hart came to
the University of
Tennessee at Chatta-
nooga, he brought with
him a vision and plan
for the future of the
Mocs. Over the last fi ve
years, Hart has changed
the landscape of the
UTC Athletics Depart-
ment with his leader-
ship, organizational
skills and innovative ideas on how to fulfi ll the Mocs’
mission of preparing students for productive and meaning-
ful lives. Since his hiring on May 23, 2006, Hart’s eff orts
have made a tremendous impact on the Mocs student-
athletes’ quest for comprehensive excellence – academi-
cally, athletically and socially.
ACADEMICALLY
• Shown continuous improvement in the overall grade-
point-averages for student-athletes in each of the last six
semesters - highlighted by a 2.97 g.p.a. in the spring of
2011, the highest semester mark on record.
• Over half of the Mocs’ student-athletes made the Athletic
Director’s Honor Roll each of the last four semesters.
• Developed and implemented an ambitious APR improve-
ment plan that has increased the APR scores of all Mocs
athletics programs.
• Expanded the Compliance and Academic Services depart-
ments to help student-athletes progress toward the
ultimate goal of earning a college degree.
ATHLETICALLY
• Captured 17 regular season and 19 tournament champi-
onships in the Southern Conference over the last fi ve
seasons, more than any other SoCon school.
• In 2008-09, Chattanooga posted school records with fi ve
teams competing in the NCAA Championships and 10
squads represented in the postseason.
• Set a school record in 2009 with a 99th place fi nish in the
NACDA Learfi eld Director’s Cup that measures the overall
success of all Division I athletic programs. Three of the
Mocs’ top-5 all-time fi nishes in the NACDA Director’s Cup
have come in Hart’s tenure.
• Captured UTC’s fi rst Germann Cup in 2007-08, signifying
the best all-around women’s sports program in the
Southern Conference.
SOCIALLY
• Focused attention on strengthening the relationship
between Mocs Athletics and the UTC community.
• Cultivated and maintained relationships with local and
national press that has led to unequalled media attention
for a program of this size.
• Expanded educational programming for student-
athletes, coaches and staff as part of a commitment to
learning and personal and professional development.
Hart has also been very successful in the traditional roles
as UTC Athletics Director. In an eff ort to ensure effi cient
and eff ective management of all elements of the athlet-
ics program, and to better align athletics with the
academic mission of the institution, Hart developed and
installed the Strategic Plan for UTC Athletics. A focus on
the student-athlete experience has resulted in increased
ticket sales and fundraising, innovative partnerships,
improved athletics facilities and the addition of quality
coaches.
Managing fi nite resources in collegiate athletics is widely
known as a diffi cult task. Hart made fi scal stewardship a
priority for the department since his arrival. With diligent
leadership and a commitment from each and every mem-
ber of the department, UTC Athletics has made signifi cant
strides towards reducing the fi nancial
burden on the institution and adherence
to university allocated budgets.
Currently, Hart serves as a member of the
NCAA Division I Championship/Sports
Management Cabinet and the FSC Athlet-
ics Directors Association Executive
Committee. He is active in the commu-
nity is a sought-after speaker among the
area’s many civic organizations. In
addition to his selection as the Grand
Marshal of the 2007 Region 4 Special
Olympics, Hart has been appointed to the
Board of Directors with the March of
Dimes – River Valley Division, the Greater
Chattanooga Sports and Events Commit-
tee and the Finley Stadium Corporation.
He is also a member of the Chattanooga
Downtown Rotary and the United Way of
Greater Chattanooga Leadership Club.
Hart arrived on the UTC campus after
serving seven years at the University of
Oklahoma in various athletics adminis-
trative capacities. Hart’s career with the Sooners began in
1999 as the Director of Marketing and Licensing. He became
Assistant Athletics Director for Marketing and Licensing in
2001, and developed and implemented marketing cam-
paigns which generated annual ticket revenues in excess of
$19.5 million. Hart was promoted to Associate Athletics
Director for Program Advancement and Branding in 2003
and Senior Associate Athletics Director in 2006.
Hart has also worked in athletics for the University of North
Carolina and East Carolina University and has served with
the U.S. Olympic Committee. A 1994 graduate of UNC, Hart
earned a bachelor’s degree in Physical Education, Health
and Sport Science. Hart and his wife, Allison, also a gradu-
ate of North Carolina, are proud parents of Trevor and
Caroline.
A third-generation athletics administrator, Hart’s father,
Dave, currently serves as Executive Director of Athletics at
the University of Alabama, and his late grandfather, Dave
Sr., served in a variety of roles within collegiate athletics
including a stint as the Commissioner of the Southern
Conference from 1987-91.

Nashville. Not to forget their closest fans, the student-
athletes again took part in Operation Move-In, helping
freshmen unload into their dorms to begin the fall semester.

volunteering. The Mocs created a stir with a number of
creative marketing ideas, including the White Out football
game against Appalachian State, the Black Out men’s
basketball game against Furman, Phillip D. Glass donning a
football helmet for the fi rst time and the extremely popular
April Fools’ joke to name a few.

The Southern Conference, which begins its 91st season of intercollegiate competition in 2011, is a national leader
in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and defi ning the league’s role in helping to build lifelong
leaders and role models.
The SoCon is the nation’s fi fth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the
Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacifi c 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of
origination.
Academic excellence has been a major part of the SoCon’s tradition. League athletes have been recognized countless
times on Verizon/CoSIDA Academic All-America and district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes Scholarship winners have
been selected from conference institutions.
The SoCon has a rich tradition in men’s golf. Five individuals (seven times) from league schools have claimed national
championships including the legendary Arnold Palmer (1949-50, Wake Forest). Men’s golf has been a championship
sport in the conference since 1933 and the 2011 championship will be the 65th all-time.
The Southern Conference offi ce is located in the historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in
operation from 1880 until 1999, the Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today off ers the SoCon a fi rst-class
meeting area and offi ces as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents.
