ORLANDO, Florida -- The decades-long rivalry between the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats and Florida A&M Rattlers was once again evident Saturday during the 35th annual Florida Classic at the newly renovated Citrus Bowl in Orlando.
"I've been coming to the Classic since it was in Tampa," said Bonnie Stevenson of Daytona.
Stevenson wore B-CU maroon pants and a black shirt with gold B-CU letters across the front as she tailgated with friends in the stadium's parking lot.
She became a Wildcat fan because her daughter graduated from the school in 1991.
"This is age-old, we do this every year," she said. "We don't know what we would do on this weekend if we didn't do this."
For FAMU fans, they remain hopeful that the school can overcome years of problems.
