Albany State makes a return trip across the border to open the season against FAMU and even the most discerning of fans believes that the Rams will need persons from the Field to Mob the Rattlers if they hope to pull off an upset.

Both teams have new coaches and neither fanbase wants to be asking Where Are We Going.

Welp, the question will be can Project Dreams happen on the field of dreams during this game as last years game took the Rams coach from Ashy to Classy.

It gets Real in the Field as we open our too early to tell season preview with the team from the 229.

One thing about the Fangs Up Podcast is that the show tries to be honest with the audience.

And while the show is not coming to an end any time soon in the foreseeable future we will see some slight changes.

Let's talk openly about these changes that are coming to the show while we also talk about the FAMU striketour, and some of the information we got about the TV contracts.

A good time to talk about HBCU Sports even when it has slowed a bit.

FAMU has been the bell of the ball on the Track surface for a few years and questions arise about the number of students that are utilizing this opportunity to use FAMU as a launching pad.

Additionally we have seen friends of the show go to SWAC Media day with some positive results.

Let’s welcome our friends from Fat Mouth Sports on the Show tonight to talk about what they saw and share some of the solutions they see for retaining players at FAMU.

FAMU Fans had all of less than half of a week to be upset about the Football teams Preseason rankings before news that FAMU came to an agreement with the University of Georgia that cancelled a potential $650,000 pay day.

This at a time when the Athletic department is on a Strike tour and the very same athletic department is asking fans to contribute for the purchase of basketball uniforms.

While some are angry about the loss exposure, the bigger issue is lost revenue at a time when multiple fund raising opportunities are all circling around the beginning of Football Season.

It is way to early truly start the preseason predictions, largely because we are still waiting to get information about what some of the final rosters will look like.

But the aggregate of what many of the FAMU Faithful are looking for is growth.

Whether it be on or off the field FAMU faithful want to see growth, especially from those who have been placed on campus under this current administration.

At a time when many people are going fishing it has become apparent that FAMU’s coaches are working on stocking the room with talent.

From football, to Volleyball and definitely both Basketball teams we have seen a ton of offers go out and hope that some of the students decide to commit to FAMU.

We also have some good questions being asked about FAMU leadership while we get some new season ticket ideas that some like and others hate.

Good time for some good ideas.

FAMU Basketball has done an amazing job of filling the roster board and on paper this team gives the Rattler faithful a ton of hope.

We have also seen that FAMU is in the midst of changes; whether it be the New One FAMU initiative, Conference changes or more.

It is an interesting time to be a Rattler.

Many times all conversations about relationships come down to the quintessential question of how do we fund this operation.

Well that question surrounds all of us who are in relations with HBCUs and more importantly for the FAMU supporter is; how do we fund this operation?

Well we are to have FAMU’s Major Gift Officer Marvin Green on today to talk about some of the ways in which he is looking to have Rattler Nation and beyond to provide scaffolding for this program.
