Idle and Wild!

We are more than a week from the Florida Classic and it is past time for you to secure your event plans. Well if you know, the best parties in Orlando are thrown by Pat Nix and T-Whit! We have invited both of these brothers to tell you where to be for Classic Weekend and we are also sharing where the undefeated tailgate chaps will be this year. Get you tickets early because these events can sell out. We will also talk about the upcoming week in FAMU Athletics but we won’t until the last minute for you to figure out where is the party at?

The FAMU Football Team went to the Reservation and left with a loss. And earlier today the Lady Rattler football team went to the Tuck and caught some belt themselves. There has been a ton of B2A given to the Rattlers on multiple fronts, basketball & football have been pretty disastrous for the past few weeks and at this point the hope is that the football team gets some new talent while the other hope is that FAMU basketball can do something that lives up to the preseason hype that came with the talent acquisition which we saw going into the new season. The call lines will be open and we welcome you to share how you feel. Fangs Up#FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

FAMU Football has moved Chris Cash to the defensive coordinator position after the defense had yet another night of pooping the bed at home and rendering another streak to the annals of history.While football is reeling, basketball is getting started and the teams could give a bit of hope to fans. Neither team won the basketball games they played in but both were able to get some attention. Along with Basketball the Volleyball Team is making a push to claim another title.It will always be fun and we will always seek answers.Fangs Up#FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

The Standard is the Standard was the line from last year and this year we have been reminded post game about what the team talked about during the week.But this season has been a complete and abject disaster on the football field. But outside of the football space FAMU athletics have been pretty solid on the playing surface. Now you feel how you feel about FAMU administration but the Track program is still healthy, baseball is still solid, basketball season starts this week and we might be heading over to UCF on Tuesday. All that being said the Standard is the Standard, but my true expectations don’t resemble the standard. #FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

This Football season has not lived up to the expectations of this and many other FAMU fans. Some parts of the season have been downright scary as this has been the nightmare that many a fan has never hoped to see.In the midst of this team will play host to Southern University on Halloween at Bragg Memorial Stadium. Along with Football season coming to a close FAMU basketball has opened the season and some of the outcomes that are equally as scary for those that are in love with the program. All of this could be troubling to some but with all of these tricks FAMU fans will be looking for some treats. All is not lost Rattlers as we prepare to show why it is so scary to play in Tallahassee. Fangs Up#FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

After playing Jackson State on the Football field many FAMU fans again came away from a game saying that they were close enough to win but the difference was turnovers. FAMU’s defense was solid and played a good game but yet again the teams best efforts to get a win were thwarted.The Turnovers have been an issue for much of the season but the game against Jackson State saw a season high for turnovers, well before we have our Monday review show with the Avengers. Let us talk about the weekend that was for FAMU and what we hope this homecoming week will be. Fangs Up!#FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

We are in the midst of football season, but FAMU basketball is about to make some major news in the Tampa Bay area.We have some guest today from the Showdown in St. Pete that are here to talk about the entire weekend of events.Showdown in St. Pete isn't simply another stop on the basketball calendar. It's a destination event designed to bring outstanding college programs together in an environment that celebrates competition, sportsmanship, and the experience of the game itself.Hosted by Worldwide Hoops, the tournament combines professionally organized competition with the relaxed atmosphere of Florida's Gulf Coast, giving athletes, coaches, and families an opportunity to enjoy both elite basketball and one of the country's premier waterfront cities. Create memories. Challenge programs. Compete at the highest level.#FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

FAMU football played against Alabama State in a place that has been very good to FAMU over the years.After last year's shellacking of the Rattlers at Bragg Stadium, the Rattlers got some get back this year by ruining Alabama State University's Homecoming.Along with success on the football field the other FAMU teams understood the assignment. FAMU Volleyball dominated UAPB and Grambling at home which is huge as FAMU Volleyball is sitting at the top of the SWAC standings. All this while FAMU Cross Country finished in the top ten at the Florida State Cross Country Invitational on Friday and FAMU Bowling has gotten it cracking.Talk Nice to these Rattlers.Fangs Up!#FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

Hurricanes are notorious for causing change and destruction. Well in this case Hurricane Isaias is causing the what was going to be a homecoming in the sun to be a rush to beat this incoming storm. This game is very compelling as FAMU is desperately looking for a victory and Alabama State is reeling after playing in similar weather conditions in Daytona. In that showing the Hornets were not able to best the bad weather in Florida but will the Hornets see a different fate against the visiting Rattlers. Last week I watched Alabama State struggle in the Rain against BCU but this week I will be watching the noon kickoff like many of you as the game is played on tv ahead of what should be a torrential downpour. The hope is that FAMU can score a victory through the Dark Clouds & more.Fangs Up!#FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

FAMU Volleyball held it down this week as the Football team was Idle on a Bye week. And Oh what a time to be off. The SWAC had multiple upsets and so did the MEAC. But the talking point for the week will definitely be the Mississippi Valley State comeback and BCU scoring an upset at home. Saturday was a great day to reset because it was Wild in those HBCU football streets. And what a time to be able to play spoiler for some of the teams.Fangs Up!#FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital
