Idle and Wild!
FAMU Volleyball held it down this week as the Football team was Idle on a Bye week. And Oh what a time to be off. The SWAC had multiple upsets and so did the MEAC. But the talking point for the week will definitely be the Mississippi Valley State comeback and BCU scoring an upset at home.…

Improper Pruning
Coming into the season many of us who believed in the potential of FAMU Football are a bit more than concerned with what we have seen thus far this season.
