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 2025 HBCU Football season is here, and it might be one of the most exciting in years! Randall & Arielle return to preview the season and give their predictions on who will come out on top come December.  The duo breaks down this weekend's well-anticipated MEAC/SWAC Challenge against North Carolina Central and Southern University. Will the Eagles leave Atlanta victorious once again, or will Southern prove that they're ready to challenge Jackson State's dominance? Randall & Arielle break down the addition of Michael Vick nd DeSean Jackson as the newest head coaches in the MEAC. As the season approaches, do we think they'll fare well? Is Chennis Berry's South Carolina State Bulldogs still the class of the MEAC? Is Jackson State poised to repeat? The team breaks it down!

Send us a textThe landscape of HBCU football is undergoing a transformative shift as the 2025 season approaches, with NFL legends stepping into coaching roles and traditional powers reasserting their dominance.Former NFL stars Michael Vick and Desean Jackson have sent shockwaves through the MEAC by taking over at Norfolk State and Delaware State respectively. Vick's homecoming to the 757 area has already revitalized Norfolk State's program through increased visibility, merchandise sales, and fan engagement. His $400,000 salary makes him the highest-paid coach in the conference, signaling the university's commitment to football success. Meanwhile, Jackson brings his characteristic confidence and "take no prisoners" mentality to a Delaware State program looking to rebound from consecutive dismal seasons.In the SWAC, Jackson State continues to thrive under TC Taylor despite the post-Deion Sanders era. Quarterback Jacobian Morgan, who rejected transfer portal opportunities to remain with his hometown team, anchors a roster loaded with returning talent and strategic additions. The Tigers enter as clear favorites to repeat as conference champions and return to the Celebration Bowl.The transfer portal era has dramatically reshaped roster management, particularly affecting Division II powerhouses. Virginia Union head coach Dr. Alvin Parker revealed the jarring experience of losing 17 players to the portal immediately following their Elite Eight playoff run, illustrating how quickly program trajectories can change in today's college football environment.Southern University presents an intriguing case study in player redemption, with former LSU four-star running back Trey Holly joining head coach Terrence Graves' program. While Holly brings elite talent to the backfield, quarterback uncertainty looms as Southern prepares for their season opener against North Carolina Central in the MEAC-SWAC Challenge.As we kick off another exciting season of HBCU football, download the HBCU Gameday app for complete coverage of all the action, from conference battles to the Celebration Bowl and everything in between.Support the show

Send us a textA powerful alliance has emerged in the world of Black college athletics. The "HBCU For Us" association brings together the four major HBCU athletic conferences—CIAA, SIAC, MEAC, and SWAC—creating a unified front to navigate the rapidly changing landscape of collegiate sports. This groundbreaking collaboration couldn't come at a more critical moment, as the transfer portal and NIL era have fundamentally altered the power dynamics between student-athletes and institutions.Steven J. Gaither dives deep into what this alliance might mean practically for HBCU athletics, suggesting it could lead to more coordinated scheduling of events like media days and create a "brain trust" approach to prevent predatory business arrangements that have historically plagued Black college sports. "A lot of folks who are in charge at our conferences and our schools sometimes run into people who...see all these great opportunities and they see people who are desperate for money or desperate for exposure," Gaither explains, highlighting how this alliance might serve as a protective mechanism against exploitative deals.The conversation shifts to player loyalty in an era of unprecedented mobility, featuring an illuminating interview with Jackson State quarterback Jacoby Morgan. Despite having transfer options, Morgan chose to remain at JSU, stating: "I'm a loyalty guy... I love this city, I love Jackson, I love the team and everything they bring. I'm a hometown kid so I want to be a legend there." His perspective offers a refreshing counterpoint to the mercenary approach that has become increasingly common in college athletics.As the 2024 HBCU football season approaches—just three weeks away—the community continues engaging in passionate debates about program legacies and classifications. A viral social media post categorizing Division I HBCU football programs into tiers sparked intense discussion about what constitutes a "blue blood" program and whether historical achievements from decades ago should carry the same weight as recent success. The conversation reveals both the deep pride in HBCU football tradition and the recognition that program strength is constantly evolving in the modern era.Download the HBCU Game Day app to stay connected with all the latest news, scores, and updates throughout the upcoming football season.Support the show

Let us Break Bread and talk about some FAMU Stuff on a Friday! The FAMU vs Alabama A&M game has quietly become one of the better games in the SWAC to attend or watch. The schools are in a space in which they are not able to become rivals but are also similar enough to make this a fun space to be in for both fan bases. And the age old question is if all money is good money comes into the question in regards to who will our organizations take money from. We are starting some good trouble for Lunch on a Friday. #FangsUp #FAMU #HBCU #HBCUdigital
