FAMU releases football schedule

Unless you've been under a rock somewhere or maybe you just really do not pay attention to me or my little blog *weeps* I'm a RATTLER. Yes my dear I graduated from the lovely Florida A&M University. *shakes my pom pom* I have been tripping for the past 3-4 years though. I've only attended one game per year in support of my Rattlers and that is the well known Florida Classic. I said this year that I'm stepping my game up and am going to attend at least 3 games this year. Keep your fingers crossed. Lets look at this schedule

I decided that the three games that I will be attending are the Famu vs USF game, the FAMU vs Southern game and of course the FAMU vs BCU game. Normally we play UM. However this year, for some unknown reason, we are playing USF. Its cool though. USF plays at the home of my beloved Buccaneers, Raymond James Stadium, so I am excited about going to this particular game. I'm also excited about the Famu vs Southern game. I use to attend the Atlanta Classic yearly but *yawn* its just not as exciting as the Orlando Classic. For one we have played Tennessee State University for the longest *yawn* They are boring and so is their band....no offense. They just were never a match for my Rattlers. I'm glad that this year we are playing someone interesting. I'm pretty sure the matchup between Southern and Famu will be quite interesting. The last game of course is the BCU vs Famu game. *whispers* Believe it or not I love both schools. My father is a graduate of BCU and few people know this but my first year at Famu was interesting because I would actually wear BCU tshirts, shorts, etc around and my car had a BCU tag. It took me a lonnnnngggggg time to be a Rattler because I was raised a Wildcat.  As I tell many people though, despite the rivalry that takes place I believe  that there is a lot of love between Cookman and Fam. Cmon...we're BOTH HBCU's. We have to stick together :) This game is a tradition within my family. I cant ever recall not going although the weekend happens to fall on/around my birthday. This year is no different .... the game is actually on birthday this year. I think thats going to make it all the more special :) Go RATTLERS!
