After playing Jackson State on the Football field many FAMU fans again came away from a game saying that they were close enough to win but the difference was turnovers.

FAMU’s defense was solid and played a good game but yet again the teams best efforts to get a win were thwarted.

The Turnovers have been an issue for much of the season but the game against Jackson State saw a season high for turnovers, well before we have our Monday review show with the Avengers.

Let us talk about the weekend that was for FAMU and what we hope this homecoming week will be.

FAMU football played against Alabama State in a place that has been very good to FAMU over the years.

After last year's shellacking of the Rattlers at Bragg Stadium, the Rattlers got some get back this year by ruining Alabama State University's Homecoming.

Along with success on the football field the other FAMU teams understood the assignment.

FAMU Volleyball dominated UAPB and Grambling at home which is huge as FAMU Volleyball is sitting at the top of the SWAC standings.

All this while FAMU Cross Country finished in the top ten at the Florida State Cross Country Invitational on Friday and FAMU Bowling has gotten it cracking.

Talk Nice to these Rattlers.

Hurricanes are notorious for causing change and destruction.

Well in this case Hurricane Isaias is causing the what was going to be a homecoming in the sun to be a rush to beat this incoming storm.

This game is very compelling as FAMU is desperately looking for a victory and Alabama State is reeling after playing in similar weather conditions in Daytona.

In that showing the Hornets were not able to best the bad weather in Florida but will the Hornets see a different fate against the visiting Rattlers.

Last week I watched Alabama State struggle in the Rain against BCU but this week I will be watching the noon kickoff like many of you as the game is played on tv ahead of what should be a torrential downpour.

The hope is that FAMU can score a victory through the Dark Clouds & more.

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.

Saturday was a great day to reset because it was Wild in those HBCU football streets.

And what a time to be able to play spoiler for some of the teams.

It truly is A Different World from where we came from a few years ago.

Even comparing last year's team to this version of FAMU football has many in Rattler Nation wondering what has gone wrong?

And while we can easily look at what has gone wrong this season, what has gone right is another question that could use some investigation.

One of the things that has gone right for sure seems to be the FAMU Basketball team and FAMU Volleyball is looking to get some wins while on the road in Mississippi.

FAMU Volleyball Split the weekend series of games while the Football team continues a losing streak that has FAMU fans wanting to press reset.

This reset could mean some personnel changes, adjustments in philosophy and more because after losing to the Bulldogs for the first time in 40 years.

We definitely will touch on some of what we saw at the game but will also wonder out loud what is next.

Ok FAMU is not playing the Crimson Tide, but the Football and Volleyball teams are playing Alabama A&M and Alabama State University in Tallahassee.

Both teams find themselves in similar situations but on varying sides of the spectrum. FAMU Volleyball is in a place that gives the fans hope for the continued success of the program while the Football team is in need of a win in the worst of ways. And the troubling part of the situation is seeing the ending of streaks and trends while we see the beginning of what has turned from a rebuild to a complete Reconstruction.

Accompanying the football team's need for a win was a post game interview that may have shed light on the FAMU Football program in a way that will predict change in the future.
