from THE EDITOR DWIGHT FLOYD: Is FAMU Divided?

TALLAHASSEE, Florida  -- Used to be that football games against Bethune Cookman were no contest. Competing wasn’t about the game. It was about getting together and having a good time.

Now that the Wildcats have become a big rival most of us hate losing to them even in marbles. Make no mistake though. We can butt heads on the field or in the gymnasium. We can debate history and quarrel over who is the best. Yet, at the end of the day you had better not harm a Wildcat or you’ll have to face me because after all, when all is said and done they are my brothers and sisters.

Such is the case with the Rattler family.  Yes, we are quarreling and we don’t know how to handle it. It’s the tar baby effect. We are bewildered and frustrated about what we see unfolding. Once you voice an opinion about it you get stuck in the conversation trying to defend your point of view. We all know we are right in our opinion and are confident we know where to st
and on an issue. It is called being stubborn.

People say that Floyd men are stubborn, but being a Floyd man I just don’t see it!
