Fangs Up

Every Conference has a floor and a ceiling and after having the FAMU Men's and Women's teams earn much needed victories has me wondering about where this program stands in the SWAC pecking order.

The offseason is here and this is the time that we don't see the players getting work in but when some of the most growth happens, the evidence of this growth is seen as the offers that students receive or don't receive.  Always a great time when coach is on the show and more importantly a learning experience for all those who have students who want to play at the next level.

FAMU's Basketball is now into conference play and while we did not do well in Louisiana the beginning of the season for many other sports gives some fans hope that we will see some success from some of the other spring sports.

The first half of the visit to Louisiana trip has been terrible thus far and some FAMU fans are upset with the current coaching staff.   Also the Football team has had a few commitments to make this team more formidable going into the next season and with a New AD in what can we expect?

I left the Lawson Center after the BCU game asking the same question as many of you? 

  WTF Happened!   

That was not the outcome I anticipated but was the type of attendance that I expected.  

 The SWAC needs to do a better job of marketing big games and rivalries.

FAMU will start conference play against BCU in both Men's and Women's Basketball. This is a major rivalry which features one of the potential best teams in the SWAC against a team that still has some questions as to who they are.   Also do we have too many Sponsorship groups and why should they be consolidated

As the gauntlet of non-Conference play comes to an end the FAMU basketball teams find themselves having gained critical experience which has been gained due to an extremely schedule.   And the HBCU conferences say that they are committed to working together.

The early signing day has been good to Florida A&M University and the fan base has been given an early Christmas present.   Also the Men's Basketball team put on a decent showing against the University of Kentucky.
