B-CU's bid for perfection: FAMU next

DAYTONA BEACH, FL -- Fans lingering at Municipal Stadium on Saturday -- relieved after late touchdown returns by Reggie Sandilands and Eddie Poole saved Bethune-Cookman's undefeated season -- might have gasped in horror when they caught sight of No. 15.

Star linebacker Ryan Lewis was hobbling on the field with crutches and a bag of ice strapped to his left ankle. "I'm OK. I'm going to play next week," Lewis assured. "I'll be at practice (today)."  Lewis, who had another monster game in the Wildcats' 35-20 victory over Howard, sprained his ankle late in the third quarter. He landed awkwardly while hurdling a running back who was attempting a cut block on him.

FAMU is now ready for Florida Classic

Florida A&M football coach Joe Taylor no longer has to plea with his players about not letting the Florida Classic become a distraction. Finally, it is the attraction.  "Now that it's here," Taylor said, "we can put all of our attention on it."

In fact, the game will have the attention of the nation because of what will be riding on it when Florida A&M (7-3, 6-1) takes on Bethune-Cookman University (10-0, 7-0) on Saturday in Orlando. B-CU has locked up a share of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference title. FAMU hopes to earn its sixth consecutive MEAC win and claim a share of the league title.

Marching 100 to debut FAMU fight song

With the annual Florida Classic looming, James Ammons made a request of Julian White. Florida A&M's president wanted the director of the Marching 100 to come up with a signature fight song that's catchier than arch-rival Bethune-Cookman University's "Let's Go Wildcats."

Mission accomplished — provided everyone in Rattlerville can commit the words to memory.
