NC A&T vs. FAMU


We’ve gotta stay focused...every week. Next week, we’ll be dealing with rain and cold in Baltimore. Then Ryan Stanley was injured today. We’ve got to stay focused on one game at a time.

One thing that had been missing from FAMU football was pride and players understanding who we are. Simmons discussed it this week. Players have been looking at the old teams and championship banners. They want to replicate that. These players play for em one another and love their coach. They genuinely enjoy being at Florida A&M.

A&T football program is still way better than Alcorn ... I still think they have a high quality program. Quality programs are allowed one bad game and they only lost by 3 points to a FAMU team that hasn't lost to a SWAC team since 2014

LSU lost to unranked and lower tier conference team Troy University couple years ago and still finished in the season ranked 18th in the country that same year. LSU is #2 in the nation now. Quality programs have bad games sometimes.

I know about the Celebration Bowl being the official BCF National Title game but if A&T and SU play in that game and FAMU wins at least a share of the MEAC title on paper, they would have a legitimate claim to the title since they beat both

They still have to play BCU, remember all they needed was a win against them last year to go to the CB but ended up losing that game although they beat A&T.
 
A&T coaches really sparked everything and I’m not even being biased.

The first issue happened during pregame...while both teams were warming up, the rest of A&T’s team exited there locker room. As they ran up the sideline, A&T players and coaches entered the FAMU side of the 50(while still on their sideline). A&T players got as far as the FAMU 35-40 yard line and started taunting the Rattler football team.
As A&T went back to their locker room(up FAMU’s sideline) FAMU’s punter shanked a punt their way to end pregame warmups. Once that happened, A&T’s coaches started jaw jacking and FAMU’s coaches started talking back.

Then at the coin toss, as FAMU reaches out to shake hands, A&T’s players refused. That’s cool with me...but it set the tone for the rest of the game.

Two key A&T players eneded up getting unsportsmanlike conduct penalties in the first

At halftime, both teams had to cross on their way back to the locker rooms. A&T’s players took their sweet time moving out the way as the refs held FAMU up. However, the bulk of A&T’s team made it to the locker room. From what I could see, an A&T coach got into the middle of FAMU’s team a started talking trash or whatever. That’s when all hell broke loose. A&T’s players ran from in the locker room and FAMU players squared up...cause, man...we have a team full of Florida boys that talk trash back lol
 
Also, A&T players tried to climb into the stands to fight FAMU students during the 1st half...yes, that really happened

They tried again after the game winning TD...there’s video on twitter. FAMU students were giving them the business at the point.
 
A good non-classic MEAC rivalry in the making. I'm sure FAMU folks realize that they travel to Greensboro next year. These are the kind of home and home series where you keep the children at home. HBCU football needs this. But before they head north to North Kackalacky/Carolina, they have to come to Mumford first.

Wait what????

Well we have seen the fall of what Broadway created......the discipline is gone and soon A&T will be back as the bottom feeder.

A&T is talented. They have some true athletes, but they are undisciplined. For example, their leader on defense, Mac McCain recovered a fumble that had A&T in great field position. He decides to run to the FAMU bench and taunt everybody...he ended up getting an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Then, because if the brawl, he ended up getting ejected at halftime.

BCU beat FAMU convincingly last year. I was at that game and FAMU looked sorry. This year is different though. They seem to playing with a lot more heart.
