Fangs Up

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 #HBCUdigital

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 Softball begin the season coming off red hot seasons. Lets also not forget that Uncle Mo has been doing some work on the Track as FAMU's track program is laying a foundation for rattler pride to be exuded to even the like to the most down trodden rattler. It's a good time to celebrate some wins. Fangs Up!#FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

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. FAMU's major officer and all of Rattler Nation are owed a huge congratulations and if you have not already made a contribution I hope to encourage you to make a small donation as many hands make light work. It is a place of honor to see that FAMU is capable of raising that much money as a unit. Phase One is Complete now on to Phase Two.Fangs Up!#FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

Both FAMU's Men's and Women's basketball teams have something to prove.The ladies were humbled at home while the gentlemen walked out of the gym with a one point loss. Despite these setbacks the Rattler Basketball team still finds itself near the top of the SWAC and in the Hunt for a Conference title. Also the FAMU Track team heads to Clemson while the Tennis team gets into the swing of things. We may also have some special guest Avengers on the show. Fangs Up!#FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

FAMU Basketball fans are fair weather for a good reason. Years of a losing product coupled with many basketball options which persist make for a product which is a hot commodity. But this year the Men lead the conference and the women are giving us all hope. This on the back of a successful season gives many hope that this may be the year. We also got to see the football coaching staff fill out which is exciting for many.And baseball is also giving the faithful hope that this may be a return to the Championship game. Fangs Up#FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

FAMU Track got a slight mention in the last show and I guess they took that personally. The track team went to Gainesville intent on sending home a message. And the message was received; this is going to be a track program that brings pride to the FAMULY! Also the Men's Basketball extended its winning streak while the Lady Rattlers saw the end of a winning streak. Streaks being what they are, we saw FAMU football deliver via the transfer portal which also sends the message that this program may be more of a contender than others give it credit for. New Year, New Coach!Fangs UP#FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

FAMU's basketball teams are on a roll and we have a winning streak that is exciting the fanbase. Along with what appears to be a winning program the other sports are keeping us excited. Softball has camps, Baseball is about to kick off and football is added to the roster to fill the voids of the players that have been left behind.All of that and we have a massive giving campaign to restore the strike!#FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

FAMU's Women's Basketball has a winning Streak in the SWAC! FAMU's Men's Basketball team just defeated Southern University to give coach Charlie his first SWAC conference victory?FAMU now has a permanent Athletic Director and the Rattlers have officially brought home Quinn Gray as the program's new Head Football Coach! Talk nice to the FAMU faithful when you see them in the streets because we have some things to Bragg about. Fangs Up!#FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

New Athletic Director and New Head Coach mean a fresh clean slate for many in Rattler Nation! This also means we start a new season of the Fangs Up Podcast! And with some lofty goals for the season lets get an early start before things get too Crazy. Oh what a time to be a Rattler because the Champs are here!Track, Baseball, Softball and Tennis! OH MY! We will Start Early so you can Enjoy the Games! Fangs Up#FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

Let's say it again: recruiting is the lifeblood of any program and especially those that are successful. That being stated who are some of the student athletes who may be on the next up to be supported by Rattler Nation. #FangsUp #FAMU #HBCU #HBCUdigital

Many of us are going to talk about NIL and the importance of our amazing support organizations. But when we are seeing the landscape of College Sports change, we must ask the question how HBCUs and non-P-4 schools should approach recruiting across athletics. Let's borrow some ideas from other schools that we can use at FAMUFangs Up#FangsUp #FAMU #HBCU #HBCUdigital

In order for you to get a job most times you have to first apply for the job. FAMUans and many around the nation hope that one candidate in particular has applied for the FAMU football coaches job. While the football coaching job does not seem that it has been posted the rest of the events on campus persist. The Basketball teams are about to play in games that they seem to be overmatched, but we continue to be hopeful for some success. Additionally, graduation was such a rewarding thing to watch our students experience. Here is hoping that FAMU plays the game off the field so we can enjoy the victories on the field. Fangs Up#FangsUp #FAMU #HBCU #HBCUdigital

Mob Rule may be a thing but in this case FAMU people have spoken with dollars that now seem to make sense of some things. One of those things that made sense was the firing of a football coach and the reutilization that NIL is important. It is a great time to weak up as tax season will be coming and some hope that you will give money back.Some moves are chess moves while others are checkers and the Rattler Football fanbase has to already crowned a new King! Fangs Up

On the heals of a Long season FAMU alumni and fans came home to the news that Head Coach James Colzie has been relieved of his duties. Not news to be celebrated but this episode serves as a celebration of FAMUly coming together through the thick and thin.The cast has come to be known as the FAMU Avengers by some and have been able to share in the ups and downs of the season. Join us one more time as we come together to talk about what future we see for FAMU football.

FAMU's Early Signing day is here and it seems like things are very quiet on the Highest of Seven Hills. This is not normally a good sign for a football program as recruiting is the life blood of a good program and unless we see some massive change for the future, this is another cause for concern for the FAMU faithful. We will Raise the Orange Flags because we have Troy from Fat Mouth Sports here to talk about recruiting and to help us figure out how FAMU can improve. Also FAMU basketball almost won and FAMU Volleyball prepares for the NCAA tournament!Good Times with Good People!Fangs Up!#FangsUp #FAMU #HBCU #HBCUdigital

Keith, Kelvin and the Super Friends unite to talk about the FAMU vs MVSU game. Ashley (Fang Exchange), Mr. Campbell (HBCU Coaches Corner), Troy (Fat Mouth Sports), JPeeps (Penalty Talk) and Bryan Fulford (O&G Strikezone) all join forces to talk to the people about the Rattlers loss to Mississippi Valley State. It's a tough but long conversation that discusses what could be in the future for Rattler Football. #FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #OandGStrikezone #FangExchange #HBCUcoachesCorner #PenaltyTalk

FAMU finished the football season against Mississippi Valley State in a make-up game which may have helped the Rattlers stave off a losing season. On the other end of the spectrum is the SWAC Champion FAMU volleyball team who parlayed a successful run in the SWAC tournament into an NCAA tournament berth. Both teams finish the season around the same time but one team leaves the faithful with good feelings about the future of the program while the other team has fans wondering who the next coach will be.#FangsUp #FAMU #HBCU #HBCUdigital

The Florida Classic was an abject disaster if you are a FAMU fan.In what is now thankfully not the last game of the season .The game proved to be a microcosm of the many failures of the 2025-2026 season and did nothing but add fuel to the fire of those who are calling for a coaching changeAlso the Volleyball team upheld the standard even when it was feared that the team might not make it. And we mercifully begin to prepare for Spring Sports. Fangs Up#FAMU #FAMUly #Rattlers #SWAC #FAMUvsUAPB #HBCU

The Florida Classic is one of the best events that takes place in the entire state of Florida. The game has tons of pageantry, history and draws strong feelings of those who are supporters of both teams. This year is no different and an added bonus is that the FAMU women have a basketball game on Friday Night. Along with the sporting event the week is filled with parties and other opportunities for hobnobbing about. The Classic aside, FAMU is also hosting the SWAC Volleyball tournament at the Lawson Center. The Volleyball team has had varying levels of success for most of the season but as the season has come to a close a winning streak gives FAMU faithful a ton of hope. We could be facing a Loser leaves town without a job situation this weekend. Fangs Up!#FAMU #FAMUly #Rattlers #SWAC #FAMUvsUAPB #HBCU

FAMU went on the road to Huntsville, Alabama and kept up a winning streak against Alabama A&M University which has withstood a notable test of time.The game had its evs and flow but the outcome while in questions ended up benefitting the people in Orange and Green. It was another game that had a positive outcome, that also put on display the many frustrations that have had supporters questioning how the successes of the program were truly reached. The football team will get the majority of your attention, but the weekend as a whole was fairly successful. The Volleyball team was able to get two wins this week and finish the season on a winning streak. Also FAMU Women's Basketball took it on the chin in another loss.Fall sports are winding down and its the pettiest time of the year for many FAMUans. #FAMU #FAMUly #Rattlers #SWAC #FAMUvsUAPB #HBCU

FAMU football is traveling to play Alabama A&M and we need to see how the team will potentially fare against another bottom feeder of the SWAC.While the Women's basketball team prepares for the Home opener of the regular season. While the Men bounce back from loss to UCF.And the Volleyball team prepares to close out the season before hosting the SWAC title.We are hoping for some wins this week.

Did FAMU and its football coach solidify a path that will help this team in the future?The goals for the 2025 season are all but shot, but having a Six or Seven win season would make any decisions to make adjustments to the staff very difficult. While the football team has nothing in front of them the Basketball team is beginning the season with expected losses that are still not acceptable for various reasons. The 24 Hour rule is definitely in effect as we enjoy a FAMU victory. #FangsUp #FAMU #HBCU #HBCUdigital

Did FAMUans bet big on a bad hand?One could definitely ask the question when looking in the face of a three win season and as FAMU prepares to play UAPB on the Bluff this is a game that the program finds itself needing. The football team has definitely been a disappointment that has many questioning the path that has been taken thus far.While football season winds down, basketball is creeping up and one of the teams is giving us hope while the other is looking like it has so very long to go. And can the Volleyball team find its stride before the conference tournament begins? Good Times to figure out what cards are on the table! Fangs UP#FangsUp #FAMU #HBCU #HBCUdigital

The Night after Halloween saw FAMU football produce a scary product. A first half that featured many missed opportunities was followed by a second half that was nothing less than an abject disaster.Once again we saw that this version of FAMU football is not destined to be one of the Top football teams in the South Western Conference. With four games left in the season, many are ready to turn the page on a football season that instead of being a dream has proven to be a nightmare. #FangsUp #FAMU #HBCU #HBCUdigital

FAMU folks have been talking about the Athletic director position and the changes that have been happening in other areas of campus. On the Football Field FAMU has a tough task that many have doubts about while all of this takes place FAMU people also ask what is going on off of the field. Definitely a busy night for those that are inclined to watch football so we won't be long. #FangsUp #FAMU #HBCU #HBCUdigital

FAMU football went to the Bayou and got a W against another one of the SWAC bottom feeders in front of a less than raucous crowd. While FAMU Men's basketball put on a good show against Florida State in the Tuck. All while FAMU Softball hones and sharpens itself in preparation for the 2025 season. An interesting weekend for all those who love the 850 was had.#FangsUp #FAMU #HBCU #HBCUdigital

Two very proud programs who are among the Blue Bloods of HBCU football meet up in what many prior to the beginning of the season thought would be a game which would determine who the SWAC champion may be. Instead we are faced with a loser leaving town sure they will be in rebuild mode for the next 9-10 months. While this has taken place we find ourselves looking for FAMU basketball to give us some hope with the revitalization of a city classic and other sports around campus warming up at the right time.The Rattlers and the Jaguars will meet in the Bayou which right now feels a bit more like a swamp.

Review of the Alcorn State vs FAMU Football Game

Alcorn came off the Reservation to Bragg Memorial Stadium and the game gave the fans an end result that is pleasing to those who are coming home to support the Orange and the Green. The weekend was full of memorable moments and at the end of the week a great time was had by most. #FangsUp #FAMU #HBCU #HBCUdigital

Homecoming is a weeklong celebration of all things FAMU and is usually the last big celebration that brings so many to Tallahassee before Fall Graduation. This year it appears that the mood may be dampened compared to previous years but we all know that homecoming is more than Perry Street and we really come together for what could be a fun filled weekend. #FangsUp #FAMU #HBCU #HBCUdigital

Monday Night Review of the NCCU vs FAMU Football Game with the O&G Strikezone

The argument for who has the best homecoming will soon be settled but the question that is on the mind of many is , is FAMU football Cooked?Because after the North Carolina Central game; the spirits of the faithful won't be lifted no matter how many spirituals the band plays. What have we seen thus far and can anything be salvaged?#FangsUp #FAMU #HBCU #HBCUdigital

In Four games FAMU fans have seen the football team play a standard of football that is not indicative of what many who follow this program's rich tradition expect. We have also seen many leadership positions in the Athletic office be abdicated or flat out neglected all while the volleyball team seems to be in the middle of a rebuild. At some point questions are going to be asked about when we should make some pivots on those that are in some of these key positions on campus. But first will we see a pivot at the QB position or more of the same?#FangsUp #FAMU #HBCU #HBCUdigital

Even when things seem to be normalizing a bit at FAMU. We get another week worth of Wild and Crazy times at FAMU! From Atlanta not happening, fines and suspensions FAMU never bores you. At least we have Volleyball to distract us. #FangsUp #FAMU #HBCU #HBCUdigital

Fangs Up Podcast and O&G Strikezone come together on Monday to talk about the Alabama State vs FAMU Football game. #FangsUp #FAMU #HBCU #HBCUdigital

FAMU Softball Coach Brittany Beall is preparing for the upcoming season and what a time to be looking forward to the growth of a program.It is a great time for a little talk about Fall ball and what excites us about the diamond. #FangsUp #FAMU #HBCU #HBCUdigital

FAMU has been hot on the Recruiting trail during this week. Softball, Basketball and football were all very active in pursuit of the next crop of FAMU athletes.Also FAMU Volleyball & Football will be having a very busy weekend which could provide a lot of fun or heartbreak for the FAMU faithful.#FangsUp #FAMU #HBCU #HBCUdigital

Too many recruiting offers to keep up with in the span of a weekend but the FAMU athletic teams have been working to bring in some new athletes to the Highest of Seven Hills. Some of the offers will get more attention than others while others will get overlooked, but the most important thing that we see is that the staff is reloading. The reloading of athletics talent is huge to the future success of the program. While FAMU was off, other teams in the SWAC continued to hold it down for the conference. How important is it that other teams in the SWAC win games?#FangsUp #FAMU #HBCU #HBCUdigital

FAMU was able to defeat Albany State in a game that was very close until the end of the game. But even after defeating Albany State FAMU fans have a ton of questions about what this team will be going into SWAC play. FAMU seems to have QB1 but that could be in doubt, FAMU seemed to have what appeared to be a championship level defense but that could be in doubt and FAMU looked to be a potential favorite to win the SWAC but that could also be questioned. Going into a much needed bye week the fanbase seems to have more questions than it does answers about the team it loves so much.Also FAMU Volleyball was able to put on a good show against Georgia State but still ended up losing the game.It is a good time for the team to get healthy and for some recruiting to happen. #FangsUp #FAMU #HBCU #HBCUdigital

FAMU fans need a win in the worst of ways and it needs to come at the expense of the Albany State Golden Rams. But the Rams roll into Bragg at 2-0 while FAMU limps in at 0-2 and led by a former Rattler. The frustration with what has happened thus far has some fans asking questions that obviously cannot be answered within the time frame of the football season. But this game has some more; concerned than others and the only response is that FAMU needs to come away with a decisive victory to help silence some of those who are now becoming detractors. Additionally FAMU Golf is competing against the best teams in the nation while the Volleyball team also looks to find its sea legs.#FangsUp #FAMU #HBCU #HBCUdigital

The FAMU vs FAU football game proved to be an outing that provided the feared outcome while also giving the fans a taste of what they have been asking for. We were able to see RJ Johnson mature into what could be a serviceable QB going forward while the defense seemed to show some concerns that have others concerned as FAMU prepares to play a Red Hot Albany State Football Team.Also FAMU Volleyball came up a bit short while FAMU Golf brought home the gold.  #FangsUp #FAMU #HBCU #HBCUdigital

Rattlesnakes and Burrowing Owls do not share the same burrow and much like in nature we see an instance in which neither team can stay in a so called safe place. FAMU is coming off the heels of a loss to Howard while FAU is looking to bounce back from a loss to Maryland.Each team is desperate for a win for different reasons, but do we truly feel like both teams are truly in a must win mindset? What we can say is that FAMU will leave this game hoping to have answered questions about a few key positions and unscathed. While FAU is looking for a much needed shot of energy. While football continues to find its way Golf begins and Volleyball also looks to find its footing.#FangsUp #FAMU #HBCU #HBCUdigital

Something NEW this football season... join us every Monday night to review the game on Saturday with some in-depth thoughts and analysis.

The Orange Blossom Classic was nothing less than an abject disaster on one side of the field. The offense was anemic and left the fanbase asking questions that will haunt them for weeks. Chief among those questions will be centered around the quarterback position and if change is needed or should the staff dig in its heels behind RJ.It was a poor showing from that offense and that has to correctedBut the Defense and Special teams were a bright spot in what otherwise proved to be a disappointing outcome.While the football team massively fumbled the bag, the Volleyball team gave us some hope. Let's talk about FAMULY, I picked FAMU to win based on what I was told the QB position might be but now have reservations after seeing otherwise. The season is not over, but the showing in the OBC is definitely below the standard of FAMU faithful. #FangsUp #FAMU #HBCU #HBCUdigital

The OBC is on Saturday and that is all well and good because we know that FAMU should win that game. But what about the other games that are taking place this week? If you need to be reminded because the host of the show is kind of petty, he did pretty well in the pick'em game over the last two years. Well let's run through this week's slate of games and pick who we think will win. Also FAMU Volleyball has started and we have the opportunity to potentially repeat as SWAC champions in many sports. #FangsUp #FAMU #HBCU #HBCUdigital

The Orange Blossom Classic is less than a week away and we still do not know who the starting Quarterback is. But we may have a friend who can tell us what he has seen from the field level at FAMU. Let us find out what may be in store in Miami and for the rest of the season.#FangsUp #FAMU #HBCU #HBCUdigital
