         I was cautiously excited to return to Florida this past weekend for the Florida Classic. The only big instate HBCU Football Rivalry. The game draws Rattlers and Wildcats from across the country - and Florida back home for one weekend.  I say I was cautiously optimistic because there has been a lot of negativity in the headlines concerning FAMU - my Alma Mater.       FAMU's marching 100 was suspended after the death of one of its members in the middle of a hazing scandal.

No doubt the car might even do better than some of the older muscle cars before they were injected with modern technology and power.
