As Late Night with Jimmy Fallon spreads Mocs fever across the country, Chattanooga has definitely caught Fallon fever. See the clips from \u201cLate Night with Jimmy Fallon\u201d below.<\/p>\n

When the NBC host adopted the UTC Mocs as his dark horse team in the NCAA Basketball tournament, he focused a national spotlight on the campus, Head Coach John Shulman, and the Chattanooga community. The Late Night segments have become all the buzz around campus and town, and students, alumni, fans, and faculty and staff members are posting links to the videos on Facebook, MySpace, and other networking pages.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Jimmy Fallon phenomenon has taken our campus by storm. It\u2019s gone viral. We could not be more appreciative or thrilled about the wonderful segments on his show. We recognize that there\u2019s a punch line there, but that\u2019s okay. We\u2019re in on the fun,\u201d said Chuck Cantrell, assistant vice chancellor for university relations.<\/p>\n

Late Night featured segments throughout the week leading up to the NCAA tournament first-round game between the UTC Basketball Mocs\u2014ranked 16\u2014and the University of Connecticut Huskies\u2014ranked 1. Fallon has said that he\u2019s rooting for the Mocs because they are the underdogs in what has been classified as a \u201cDavid and Goliath\u201d matchup.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has gone far beyond just the basketball tournament for Chattanooga. We\u2019ve had students say they want to invite Jimmy Fallon to campus, to be our commencement speaker, to put on a show\u2026it\u2019s just amazing how this has captured their attention. We are definitely going to try to get him to visit Chattanooga so we can show him some real Southern hospitality,\u201d said Cantrell.<\/p>\n
