Congrats to former @famuathletics head coach Joe T

Congrats to former @famuathletics head coach Joe Taylor on being named to the @cfbplayoff Selection Committee. Taylor coached the Rattlers to three #FloridaClassic victories, including the 2010 game, which allowed them to clinch a share of the MEAC Championship. Their 42-6 victory in 2009 (pictured above) marks the largest defeat in the series since 1999, when the Rattlers won 63-14.

Congratulations to the legendary @famuathletics he

Congratulations to the legendary @famuathletics head football coach Rudy Hubbard on being named to the @cfbhall Class of 2021! Hubbard served as head coach from 1974-85, which included the inaugural #FloridaClassic game in 1978 when FAMU stormed back from a 17-point deficit to win 27-17.
