Ward Returns to Coach FSU Rival

Charlie Ward, Heisman winner and NBA draftee turned Florida A&M coach, is set to face his old college stomping grounds, Florida State, in a high-stakes opener on November 2nd at Tampa’s Benchmark Arena. The night kicks off with a stacked doubleheader featuring Florida vs. Miami, as the Seminoles look to reignite their NCAA Tournament hopes after a four-year drought. Ward’s Rattlers, with a solid 15-16 record last season, are playing smart in-state matchups while FSU eyes tougher tests — including a close loss to Florida last year. This matchup isn’t just basketball; it’s nostalgia, legacy, and the promise of a thrilling season kickoff. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
