A Celebration of past championships on the diamond took place while we concluded the basketball season for FAMU Athletics. Golf is getting into the swing of things while the Football team is looking to reload by offering the next group of potential Rattlers. FAMU Rattlers always want to be the best but does the current athletic landscape handicap these efforts to swing for the fences? #FAMU #Fangs...

FAMU Athletic Director Angela Suggs will be on today's show to talk about the FAMU Athletics Program. #FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU#HBCUdigital

If You Know, You Know! Don’t Bring Sand to the Beach. The conclusion of Basketball Season at FAMU will end in Daytona, Florida and while the Men’s team wants to win; the ladies need to win if they intend on visiting the SWAC Tournament. Also FAMU softball faces a familiar foe while baseball host West Georgia at home and the football team still has use asking questions about who will be the DC. Goo...

The Arena is not half full but the Rattler Basketball teams did split the games on Saturday.  While the basketball teams were splitting decisions in Lawson the Kings and Queens of the Diamond gave us Rattlers some hope that these teams might make a little noise as the season progresses.  No football news besides the season tickets and Spring Practice begins on Friday. #FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdig...

March is creeping around the corner and FAMU is in the midst of one of the busiest portions of the year. Basketball is preparing to conclude and the spring sports have fired up. All this takes place as FAMU is likely going to face some budget cuts from the governor and those new Football Season tickets definitely got your attention. #FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

The hardest part of this weekend's games was keeping track of who was playing and where or who.  From basketball & softball to baseball and track this was a weekend which kept the Rattler faithful glued to any outlet which had the most up to date information.  Good time to be a fan, but whew; the Rattlers are hard to keep up with.  #FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

It’s too late to get on the bandwagon! But the Leader of the hype train is letting you know that the Number One Day Two Fan is Irrationally Excited about the FAMU Basketball Program. So in the Words of Jeff Cameron, “Chew, Freaking Chew Baby!” the Ratters are well on the way to breaking into the NCAA Tournament if things continue to go our way. Additionally it’s time to get on the hype train for F...

This weekend was full of sporting event on the Highest of Seven Hills, but also served as a reminder of how important fans are to the programs on campus. It may have been hard to track at times but having so many teams playing at the same time kept the fans engage with the program. Also it appears that the Basketball Homecoming was a success which could be built upon pressing forward.#FAMU #FangsU...

Rattler Boosters are one of the most important Direct Support Organizations that FAMU has. The Official DSO of athletics keeps pushing the needle forward for Florida A&M University and gives until it hurts, why you should join is often a question and we have answers. Also the Basketball programs have been on a Run and Coach Crarey has not received the years he was owed. Lastly, Big Pressure is...

FAMU Basketball will likely get to be the Program Darling with the coming of National Signing Day. But Football is the engine that drives the car and in this case FAMU’s football coaches used the pull of home to bring talented players back home.  There truly is no place like home and Mother FAMU called some to come back home to Florida.  If you Saw the O&G Strikezone you have already heard som...

After FAMU’s Mens and Womens basketball teams played against Alabama A&M University the uncomfortable conversation about extending coach Crarey needs to be had. Along with that conversation how does FAMU create a pipeline of talent to replace what it has lost in so many spaces? All this while FAMU Track may become the next poaching ground for talent. Let's ask some questions to find some answe...

Can everyone win?  If you're a FAMU fan you have definitely been able to clock some W's on and off the field. In the process of FAMU winning those aligned to FAMU have also seen themselves benefit which is exciting and concerning at the same time. Also in the midst of a basketball game we will have the football schedule get released for all of Rattler Nation.  Get your chips up because win...

FAMU Basketball split games against Alcorn State on Saturday while the Track team made some considerable strides to show that trusting the process may be worth it when you have the right person leading the program.  Also we have a bit of a clue as to who FAMU will be playing on the gridiron and one potential game has my attention.   #FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

Heavy Snow is not the Norm in Tallahassee but change is, FAMU is an ever changing landscape for many reasons which can be cause for frustration for some and serve as hope for others.  On one side  we are seeing persons who have been integral to the success of the program depart for better opportunities while on other ends we see multiple rebuilds happen before our eyes.  Change can seem to adverse...

FAMU Basketball did what it was supposed to do against two of the lower ranked teams in the conference. This may give cause for hope as it shows growth within a program that has been cheeks for the better part of two decades. Is basketball becoming more than an after thought for the first time in decades? Football, the stick which stirs the cup continues to draw the attention of Rattler Nation eve...

The FAMU Lady Ratters just finished playing a game and the O&G Strikezone just hosted Coach Colzie in an interview that did much to calm the nerves of Rattler Nations. All this while the Rattler Boosters just had a meeting which indicated that change is afoot. Spring is when new things grow and when things start anew. Good time to be a Rattler on the Highest of Seven Hills. #FAMU #FangsUp #HBC...

FAMU can’t run it back withColzie because they did not repeat as SWAC champions. But they can definitely build back better in 2025 and this appears to be the time at which Colzie will Re-Up on the talent that will make up this roster. Additionally FAMU basketball did what I predicted against Southern while the other sports are about to give many in Rattler Nations something to hope for. Good Times...

Could FAMU ever be a Basketball school? Nah I doubt it but the program has room to grow and may have a vibe that generates some traction for those that love the game of basketball.  Also what are some changes that I hope to see come to the Rattler Boosters after I done gave them this coin?  Let's start some Good trouble! #FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

FAMU and other HBCUs need to be a part of the NIL trend as much as other schools. FAMU has the Fang Exchange while other schools have come up with ways to bring in top talent. The playing field may never be level but doing nothing is essentially allowing for these programs to fall further behind. Also FAMU basketball is about to have its own version of the classic in Lawson over the Holidays. #FAM...

Recruiting is the life blood of a successful program and FAMU athletics has made a concerted effort to bring the Florida Boys and Local talent back home. FAMU basketball is also about to enter conference play by hosting a Florida Classic Part Duex at Lawson against Mary’s Kids. And Special Guest Ashley from the Fang Exchange is stepping to the stage to share in the fun. All this while we contempla...

The best gifts that you get for Christmas are the ones you ask for or that surprise gift you silently needed. And the FAMUly has already received gifts on the Athletic field via graduation, football signing and a basketball program which may give us a bit of home going into conference play. Things will continue to get interesting as we inch closer to the spring. #FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital
