It is way to early truly start the preseason predictions, largely because we are still waiting to get information about what some of the final rosters will look like. But the aggregate of what many of the FAMU Faithful are looking for is growth. Whether it be on or off the field FAMU faithful want to see growth, especially from those who have been placed on campus under this current administration...

At a time when many people are going fishing it has become apparent that FAMU’s coaches are working on stocking the room with talent. From football, to Volleyball and definitely both Basketball teams we have seen a ton of offers go out and hope that some of the students decide to commit to FAMU. We also have some good questions being asked about FAMU leadership while we get some new season ticket...

FAMU Basketball has done an amazing job of filling the roster board and on paper this team gives the Rattler faithful a ton of hope. We have also seen that FAMU is in the midst of changes; whether it be the New One FAMU initiative, Conference changes or more. It is an interesting time to be a Rattler. Fangs Up!

Many times all conversations about relationships come down to the quintessential question of how do we fund this operation. Well that question surrounds all of us who are in relations with HBCUs and more importantly for the FAMU supporter is; how do we fund this operation? Well we are to have FAMU’s Major Gift Officer Marvin Green on today to talk about some of the ways in which he is looking to h...

Between the Orange Blossom Classic, Tip-Off Classic, Florida Classic & Andre Dawson Classic it has become very apparent that FAMU as a brand is still an attractive entity to those who are outside of the FAMU universe. Along with being a brand that is garnering the attention of many FAMU has seen players get offered and commit to wearing the Orange and Green. We always love to see that because...

FAMU fans are watching as we see some of the children of mother FAMU advance to the next level of the NCAA tournament. At the same time we see what may be the norm for all sports as multiple FAMU Baseball athletes have hit the portal. Also our friend Troy White from Fatmouth Sports is coming on to discuss HBCU’s and post season events. Should we prioritize the tournaments or continue to cultivate...

FAMU has one Undisputed NIL Champion and that would be the Fang Exchange. This organization is led by friends of the Show and FAMU Avengers Ashley & Tache’ who have done some amazing work in a small amount of time. We have them coming on to do a year in review of the Fang Exchange and to talk about what they are looking to do pressing forward. Good Times with Good People, Fangs Up. #FAMU #Fang...

Tallahassee has one hope for a championship baseball team this year and it all comes down to a Sunday game, but the only Gold that matters is the SWAC Championship. The FAMU faithful have good reason to hope that the guys in Orange and Green have a shot at winning it all. Also the Basketball team has been working hard to get a few offers out while the track team continues to set the pace before NC...

While other schools may have wins or losses and it does matter; these wins and losses only matter if FAMU takes care of business. So before we get too excited about celebrating the losses of our rivals, let's keep our focus on things that we feel like we can control. It's been a busy week but we always know it's never dull at FAMU. Fangs Up #FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

FAMU Softball did not finish the way that we hoped for but it was the ending that many of us expected. While FAMU baseball prepares for the SWAC tournament as the three seed with the hopes that the team can make some upsets to win the entire thing. While the Diamond has been good to the Rattlers, the basketball team is giving the faithful a ton of hope. All this while the Football team keeps doing...

FAMU has proven that it can Win the SWAC Championship Indoors and Outdoors, FAMU Softball won the SWAC and will be playing in the Gainesville regional and the 220 club was eye opening #FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

It’s not many times that we have legends on the show but sometimes we get fortunate and today we bring back FAMU Royalty in the version of Mr. Vaugh Wilson. And if you have not been paying attention to what has been dropping from HBCU Gameday and Vaughn in the past few weeks you have missed some certified heat. Well we have one of the Goats from the highest of Seven Hill on the Show today. Let’s e...

The baseball team has some of you asking questions about the pitching, the Softball team is preparing to Restore order within the SWAC by asserting that they are the best team in the conference. All this while the football team looks to reload its ranks by adding new Snakelets to the pit. #FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

FAMU’s SVP caught a stray and I’m not sure we have looked into that.  I normally stick to shutting up and dribbling but maybe we should take a step back to see some things.  The Mic is hot tonight and we're going to act right, but we may cause a little good trouble in a short amount of time.  Fangs Up #FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

APR has been a known issue for FAMU football for a few years so I won’t play the person who is fake outraged over what I figured would be a problem. But I will also take the time to enjoy what Baseball, Softball & Golf are doing.  It’s a Monday Edition of Fangs Up and we're looking for some solutions while celebrating some successes. Fangs Up! #FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

the question has to be of how is this person, his staff and those who participate in the program able to attain such success? Well the good news is that we have the SWAC Championship winning Coach of the Year here on the show to talk about the program and where it is going as the season closes out. It’s always a good time to talk about FAMU Athletics and it is even better when we can get a coach t...

The Easter Holiday is always special in most southern cities and this weekend in Tallahassee was special because FAMU’s Orange and Green Game was part of Good Friday.  Beyond giving the football faithful some hope the baseball and softball teams took care of business on the diamond.  Beyond the diamond FAMU’s Tennis are finishing the season by defeating its arch rival and the Track team just came...

We can all have fun with the joke of the week and also celebrate the amazing week that we have witnessed as FAMU fans. FAMU Softball and Baseball have delivered on much of the promise that those who have been looking forward to conference play were hoping for. Additionally FAMU Track was busy across the train tracks at the FSU Relays and Rattler Nation prepares for the upcoming Orange and Green Sp...

FAMU basketball fans are either thankful that it's over or really proud of what the teams accomplished. On one end the Men’s basketball team fell short as the two seed in the SWAC tournament at a time when they were the highest seed left in the tournament. While the Women’s team exceeded the expectations of many at a critical time in the year which may have some asking the questions of will we...

Someone is calling in the Big Guns and per the usual the Rattlers in Arms have answered the call. Today we have the Dr. Pickett on the show to talk about the organization's efforts to support FAMU Athletics and other aspects of the university. The organization has begun a March Madness Membership Drive. This membership drive an organization has a fresh take on fan engagement which is sorely ne...

FAMU Track is winning the Meme Olympics while the basketball teams are continuing to provide split decisions between the Men’s and Women’s Teams. The Diamond Back Rattlers tried to hold their own in non-conference play and the football team is quietly doing its thing at spring practice. It’s always a good time to be a rattler, but when were approaching 100 days of no FAMU foolishness; it's eve...

FAMU Fans have had some reasons to get excited about the program! And for those in attendance we all know one fan in particular who adds a little energy to any section he enters. He provides a little boost of energy to the fanbase and is now the leader of Ratter Boosters. And he’s on a mission to bring some fresh ideas to Rattler boosters and we want to hear your ideas too. #FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #H...

FAMU Basketball took it on the Chin but the Baseball and Softball teams came through on a short weekend. Also we see that FAMU seems to have solidified its coaching staff. Love was in the Air and we will take some liberties with the schedule to see you on Monday! Fangs Up! #FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

National Signing Day has been good to the FAMU faithful as the energy which has been surrounding the program continues to momentum that a new Coach who has favor with the faithful garners.  And this kind of distraction is exactly what the faithful needed during a time when the Basketball teams are struggling.  But Uncle Mo might also be extending to the diamond as well as we see both Baseball and...

The Basketball teams have losing streaks but the track team is finding its stride and the spring sports start this week. But the big news in Rattler Nation is the success of the Restore the Strike fund raiser.
