Yes promoters- they was supposed to fly the team to Chicago.

That's crazy. Clearly they are accustom to dealing with DII teams when it comes to these types of games, ( no knock just fact) and they thought they could get away with it with us.

Blue, there was rumor going around that SU and FAMU had switched the home and home for the next two years, but it was soon squashed.
If you're coming to Tallahassee for the game this year, get ready to pay a premium for hotels. FSU has a game the same day, and there was already a shortage of rooms because of refugees from the panhandle who were affected by the hurricane last year still taking up hotel rooms as guests of FEMA. I suggest trying AirBnB or one of the vacation home sites for accommodations. I'm fortunate that my daughters and their families live there.

Oh I got a hook up in Tally. Thanks

I bet Simmions is PISSED

I don't know why he would be. He knew what he was walking into when he took the job.

No he didn't. He was blindsided by the inept incompetent AD that was in charge at the time. He's going to stay the course for at least another season before he exercise other options. For now he's on a mission to rally the alumni and supporters to support the program and hang in with them to continue building. It helps that his wife is an alumna, from the area (family), and is not in any rush to move again.

2 of the ADs we had are most responsible for this, and that is Derek Horne and Milton Overton. They should be sued for the salary that we paid them to do a job. And use that money to pay the fine for their incompetence.

Well that's surprising to hear, given the fact that you guys were under probation and still trying to gather yourselves when he took the job.

Let me qualify that. Blindsided to how severe the vioations were and how it would impact his program.

Also, he could have left this spring because of a breach of his contract, AND his former coach was looking for a coordinator at MSU among other OFFERINGS elsewhere where he could have made much more money and had much better resources. But he stayed at FAMU. He is a man with  lot of integrity. He didn't run when the opportunity presented itself.

Well I'm hoping it all works out. You guys have been out of the circle for too long. God knows we understand what you rattled are going thru
