Jaguars-Rattlers series in jeopardyFlorida A&M no longer has Southern scheduled in football in 2008, leaving the Jaguars scrambling for a game and putting a four-game series with the Rattlers at least on hold and possibly in jeopardy.
FAMU and Southern were to begin a four-game contract Sept. 20 with a game at SU’s A.W. Mumford Stadium. However, on that date FAMU will play Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference foe Howard in Philadelphia.

According to the contract, FAMU will have to pay $20,000 as a penalty for not playing Southern this season.
What a waste of FAMU monetary resources with two open dates showing on the FAMU schedule--September 13 and October 4, 2008. The Rattlers have only 11 games scheduled in a season where 12 games are permitted.
