TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Florida A&M's athletics department is on the right track.
The problems aren't solved. There's a deficit to deal with and teams need to be taken off postseason bans. Facilities need to be upgraded and there's still plenty of salt left in the wound Kellen Winslow opened when he resigned after less than a year on the job.
Winslow fired two coaches, said the entire athletic department was "broken" and was gone before he could even replace one of the coaches he fired.
But there's plenty of fight left in the Rattlers – if you can't see that, you aren't paying attention.
The baseball and softball teams beat Bethune-Cookman – FAMU's arch nemesis – to win their respective MEAC titles. The softball team was eliminated from the NCAA tournament over the weekend, but the Rattlers played much better in their rematch against Florida, the defending national champion.
And let's not forget the women's track team defeated Hampton, the defending conference champion, for its own MEAC title.
