@watchjdtv6881 Yes they sure did. In Tallahassee. If Nate Newton started that game, he must have been blasting holes open for FAMU's running backs. Fox Sports sideline reporter Pam Oliver was a freshman @ FAMU then. I'm sure she was at that game
@GoneBallistik658 Thank you my friend. That was one of the first Collegiate games I've ever watched at any level (FBS, FCS, D-2, D-3 or NAIA) of college football. Along with the USC/ Notre Dame game of '78 when Marcus Allen, Ronnie Lott and the late Charles White we're playing for Southern California. And Joe Montana, Vegas Ferguson and Bob Crable were playing for Notre Dame.
That was a great game. I was pulling for Howard. DMV PRIDE!! Congratulations to FAMU. Don't worry Bisons you played hard and did us proud. We will be back next year.
Fantastic ballgame. My first time seeing Howard University in action this year and I can't believe they came in today's game sporting a 6-5 record. Congrats Rattlers 2023 HBCU National Champions!
The MEAC needs a championship game. North Carolina Central should have been the team to play FAMU today, they have a better record, better head football coach, better qb, etc. One regular season game should not decide who represents the conference in the celebration bowl. Best record should get in.
@@4thAndGoalSports I respectfully disagree, ( in terms of having the best record ) having played the game of Football and Coached the game it's all about hitting on all cylinders at the right time! In my opinion Howard plays anybody else yesterday besides FAM they Win that game. Also in my opinion the Bison Coaching Staff did a fantastic job, this Rattlers team this year is very good, very solid across the board and their Defense is one of the best if not the best HBCU defense I've seen in quite some time. I would have loved to see how FAM would have fared in this Year's FCS Playoffs. Having a 6-5 record does not mean that you are a bad team, with bad coaching, and this is why the game is played on the field. I am a Floridian and also a Wildcats and Rattlers fan!!! ( I have family ties to both schools ) Note: Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't Howard University the 2023 MEAC Champions?
@@4thAndGoalSports They don't need a championship game. Winning the MEAC against 5 ppl is the championship. NCCU should've BEAT HOWARD to play FAMU. IT DIDNT HAPPEN. Howard had the best record in the MEAC. MEAC CHAMPIONS Quit hating
I am so proud of famu to be apart of the famu family my mother Rev Bernyce Clausell graduated from famu and my sister aaronetta Clausell frison I will stand by famu along as I live you deserve everything you got the good go rattlers
@@gregorymorand2547why not? It’s relevant because Deon is “big time,” so if you get to outperform him, that’s bragging rights. No disrespect to Deon, but Willie Simmons did it. Hats off to Willie and his team.
Was at the game.. originally didn't have a dog in the fight, just wanted to see a good game but after realizing that FAMU brought 5x the amount of fans to support this game i felt Howard didn't deserve to win! Congrats FAMU!
You say that after the Game but during the Game you was nervous af Howard was dominating the whole game until the 4th qtr what's so funny is Howard was 6-5 Famu was 11-1 . I'm Proud of My Bison 🦬 were still Champions
The crazy part is that Jackson State (JSU) under Coach Prime dominated the SWAC conference, winning two consecutive conference championships, but lost two consecutive years in the Celebration Bowl 🤷.
they should have HBCU vs Ivy bowl games, because I find it a shame that many of these schools only have 12 games to play football and they def deserve more than just a regular season.
@@MARCHING100PAPARAZZI thats my point. There’s no chance for 1 more game and an ability to participate in bowl season. It’s just 12 games and that’s it.
Florida A&M were down by 6 points in the third quarter, so they came back to score more points to beat Howard. We watched FAMU offensive linemen D.J. Lee(69) get ejected from the game for spitting at an opponent. Coach Simmons yelled at him for his actions during the game, so his teammates were not able to calm him down. Yet, FAMU beat Howard for the HBCU national championship. Let’s go Florida A&M!!!🏈🏈🏈
@The1andOnlyDuck that's Football we made mistakes also that's Football still yall were 11-1 & we were 6-5 but we threw all that out the window and put that thing on yall
@@jayhendricks67Sometimes Famu is a second half team. So what? It’s about how you finished. We were penalized a bit and touchdowns taking away from us. Howard had the momentum in the first quarter and Famu still came back. We don’t play, we will finish the game.
@jayhendricks67 Howard was not dominating. Were you watching the game. Howard could barely move the ball down the field when they had to drive the full length of the field. The onlt reason they go 2 scores were they had short field. Go check the box score. Famu out gained Howard in both rushing and passing. It wasnt even close
Went to the game. It was a great game. Howard had many chances to capitalized and they didnt... You gotta have some type of passing game, WOW plays to make ish go. This really was a MEAC Championship game. The SWAC don't respect FAMU and BCU... FAMU play like MEAC. LOL
I honestly want both SWAC and MEAC conferences to get a representative for NCAA playoffs.Celebration Bowl make both conferences a lot of money for the schools
Wish Atlanta, Tennessee (especially Nashville), Charlotte?, Shreveport (being in North/Central LSA), maybe TX and Birmingham would do more from Southern LA especially New Orleans (French Canada should take French but Cajun and so can roughy still be South USA. Soul Food for sure 😊) One of lot of ideas I have for the USA, especially the Dixieland (lived in US for 20 years, and 15 in the South, yet prefer Canada alot more)
BTW interesting Brazil is no longer a white European country. It's there but not as much as it was. It makes more sense though as most in on the coasts and north/south east while most is rain forest (although sadly being destroyed)
I understand this being a game of people of colour, but I wish it was more like Alternative lifestyles (Gays/Homos whatever, female players and so on. Since white male players are mostly dominant (or used to be as it seems to be dropping, like only Ice Hockey is dominated by Canadian White males for example), it is needed for all types of minories, not just significant ones. PS: idk where Latinos/Hispanics stand but hopefully can be in. Baseball seems to be more their sport like Cricket is for Indian and West Indies.
FAMU had received some crazy penalties and one of them was from the center spitting on a defensive player. ‼️ FAMU pulled it off with a group of thugs with a 1.5 G. P. A. I bet a million dollars during the off season half of the team will be in jail, kicked out and some of them will leave because they believe their talents are better than 1AA. I hate FAMU to the soul. Everything in the house that had any orange or green in it I burned in the fireplace. The FAMU band should be named the Marching 000!!!! FAMU halftime show was like hot garbage 🗑️. The Marching fake 100 has a lot of unorganized movement that can confuse the ones watching. I heard the coach is going to leave for Morehouse to revive their program because they will be moving to the MEAC. FAMU y'all better hope the Vice President don't cut funding to FAMU ‼️
You are such a liar and sound like a white supremacist . FAMU has a rich history and presence in Florida !! You should be ashamed of yourself on here disparaging our young black college educated men !! The fact remains that FAMU is the #1 public HBCU , educating and elevating Black kids into the middle class . And just because you are ignorant to that fact is not our problem. Control your hate and stop this mess on this platform!!

How does a bowl game have an 11-1 team versus a 6-5 team. Its like "hey Howard, don't worry about your record every team gets a bowl game"
Because Howard beat the team that was 10-2
does this really count as a SWAC win?? 😂😂🌚
