Fangs Up

FAMU Football FAN are asking the same question about this recruiting cycle, Have you seen them. So the fanbase as a whole sounds like the Chi-Lites looking for that lost thang. Have you seen them? Also the basketball season is about to pick back up before a break! Good Times on the Hill are ahead. #FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

Success masks inefficiencies, mistakes and bad habits while also becoming a breeding place for complacencies. But success also creates a foundation upon which a standard for excellence is created. Last year's success on the athletic field served as a continuation of the standard which is FAMU Football and this year's success by the Volleyball team was much of the same. What will become the new sta...

FAMU Fans watched as Jackson State won the SWAC but would soon see the news that former Head Coach Willie Simmons would be named the new head coach at Florida International University! While this football season did not finish as planned it can be argued that in the grand scheme of things. The Major parties involved in the Football fiasco came out winners. Also FAMU Volleyball concludes all fall s...

Football season is over and the Volleyball team is in the spotlight, but before the spring sports take over. What does the future hold for FAMU football as we enter the close of the first year of the Colzie era? #FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

FAMU Fans are definitely disappointed with the season's outcome but being disappointed with a winning season is a sign of a program that has high expectations.  Those frustrations also hint that change will be coming on the Highest of Seven Hills as many have voiced frustrations with how this team arrived at 7-5.  Football Season ends and the real Basketball season is about to begin.  While all of...

The Florida Classic was a sight to see for those in attendance and the centerpiece of a successful weekend for those who really cherish the rivalry with Bethune Cookman University as the Wildcats were 0-2 against FAMU on the athletic everything. But that is not the full story for the weekend, FAMU Men’s Basketball was able to get a win while the Lady Rattlers stayed in Orlando until Sunday but lef...

The Florida Classic is just as much about the Pop of the football game as it is the circumstances that surround it. Govern yourselves accordingly in the City Beautiful. Also FAMU basketball is trying to bounce back from a tough start to the season and the Volleyball team reign as the regular season champions of the South Western Athletic Conference. Man we need these wins! #FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HB...

In what can be explained as nothing more than a nightmare in Bragg Memorial Stadium the Rattlers gave the Devils an opening and had Hell to pay. And again the Number 21 stinks in the minds of the FAMU faithful. On the other side of things FAMU Volleyball has won the SWAC but that success is definitely overshadowed by the outcome in Bragg. #FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

A spirited end to a Booster Meeting, bruised Football team and a Volleyball team that is looking to close out the SWAC lends itself to be a weekend that may allow Rattler Nation to come together around a common goal.   Winning the SWAC and finding out how to fix the problems that bother us Rattlers. #FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

With an upset loss to Prairie View on the gridiron and a Jackson State win, it is safe to say that we can prepare to turn the page on the 2024 Football season. But this loss definitely showed us some things going into the new season while also making it abundantly clear that this team is hinged on the success of one position more than any others. While the Football team is destined to experience p...

After Homecoming and a Flight to Texas can the FAMU football avoid the hangover? While us fans bask in what homecoming was, the Winter Sports have started. Basketball, Bowling & Tennis join the party while Volleyball looks to close out the season. Always a good time for the Rattlers! #FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

It’s over said, but there is no place like home!  Homecoming was pure pageantry.  The parties, the tailgate, then of course the game itself.  The entire weekend was magical and anyone not wearing supporting FAMU was definitely cooked as the children would say.  #FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

The most memorable plays of the Southern University vs FAMU football games were definitely provided by the Special Teams and Offense. But the defense held it down during the game and honestly kept the team in the game for the majority of the Jackson State game in the previous week. But the offense was again on the precipice of again scoring a meager Twenty-One (21) points in the game, seven (7) of...

If you are a FAMU Football & Volleyball team we have seen both of these shows before! Football is hoping and praying that Jackson State has a few loses so the team can get into the SWAC Championship conversation while the FAMU Volleyball team is leading the SWAC standings with a perfect record.  On Hall of Fame weekend we hope to celebrate a bounce back weekend while also seeing a ton of good...

BTA has been the rallying cry for weeks from one of the Highest of Seven Hills! Well cue up the John Cena music, because the Champ is here! The Heavy Weight battle that every SWAC fan has been waiting for is on the horizon and the SWAC East is the prize. When the game is over you can likely say that you saw the SWAC Champion. The Bowling team also has a coach and it's time for fall ball. All while...

The biggest week of the season is now here for FAMU fans.  FAMU vs JSU in Jackson but how was the long weekend and what did we get from the Coaches call? Also the Best Volleyball team in the SWAC continues to prove why they should be your favorite team in the Conference.  Lastly, what is the State of the SWAC as a football conference?  #FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

Another Bye week before a conference game that many expect to be the toughest game of the season. But we also have the question of if one of our Major DSO’s is in need of repairs going forward.  Also Lawson is making a case to be the next home of the SWAC Volleyball tournament while cross-country will run at FSU. And the Basketball teams are making key additions prior to the start of the season. ...

The FAMU vs Alabama State game was definitely trying the patience of many FAMU faithful. But the end result was a FAMU victory and the team was able to apply a little belt to the behinds of the Hornets. We also saw FAMU Cross Country showed improvements and FAMU Tennis looked Impressive in SWAC preseason play. All this while FAMU Volleyball continues the winning streak! #FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUd...

To act like the last time FAMU played a football game in the state of Alabama was what we wanted is a lie. But in getting to the game against Alabama State FAMU fan have noticed that multiple leaks exist in the building and the hope is that the extra time off has allowed the football team to alleviate some of those issues. Additionally we have seen the Golf team give us some hope while the Tennis...

Teddy Pain in the song Two-Step called himself Tallahassee’s Hero!  Well football wise the heroes play at Bragg Memorial Stadium and it is not even close. FSU is an abject disaster at this point in the season while FAMU may have had a bye week at the right time because this is a good time to be able to point to a title and a solid record.  And while the Football team was resting the Volleyball tea...

One thing that is always constant is change, right? Well if change is the only constant that exists, how does one develop or create a culture which promotes consistency? Well one thing that has been consistent at FAMU has been on the field success over the last three years, but the football team is riding a losing streak, the lady Volleyball team sojourns about much of the south to build a resume...

To the surprise of no one  FAMU has named its new Athletic Director in one Angela Suggs. It is easy to say that no place is like home but the real question is to say that not only is no place like FAMU, but more importantly to ask the question of what is our New Athletic Director inheriting and what are we looking to see happen going forward? #FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

The Groove of the Century is so smooth that most of us don’t know that it's a breakup song. And we are seeing the rise of one organization while we look for another to catch up. This while we finally get basketball schedules for both teams and the Volleyball team is trying to defend Lawson. These Happy Feelings might be more than just feeling by seasons end. #FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

The Out Come was what it was, but the Volleyball team held it down for the lovers of Orange & Green!  Great time for a Bye week and of course the question of if HBCU’s should still play these money games will be asked.  #FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

FAMU heads to Miami to play what appears to be a resurgent Miami Hurricane football team.  Both the Hurricanes & the Rattlers have found QB1, but the rest of the team is definitely in question for some positions.  We all fully expect Miami to win big but what can FAMU do to change the narrative?  Also FAMU Volleyball has a home series that we hope can draw a nice showing and bolster the resume...
