The good news is we'll be around another semester. We've decided to delay our graduation (Masters) until the Summer, I just can't stomach the idea of having Castell Bryant's signature on my degree. The bad news is we ain't gonna be making no money for a while.
Anyway, here's Castell's response to the auditors ripping her a new one at the Florida Senate yesterday. Castell's response (Big yawn!)
so I imagine the blog will be shutting down after you graduate?
ReplyDeleteLord knows many folks on the Hill will be happy about that.
i wouldn't say it would shut down, but it would be harder for me to get info and not be in Tallahassee. however, i'm trying to recruit some underclassmen to run the spot.

LOL! I feel ya on that.

Wished I knew how to PayPal you some to help you out. You've done us a great, great service. And I still owe you that lunch/dinner, too.
RN you will be missed!!! I don't know if anyone will be as thorough as you have been. You should be very proud of the service you have provided to the FAMU family. Good luck and God bless.
ReplyDeleteRN,
ReplyDeleteI for one am most grateful for all you have done of the past several years. I also know that many employees are also just as thankful. I would be more than happy to donate some funds to you if you had an account of some type where donations could be made. What you have done for the the FAMU community is priceless. Set something up so I and I'm sure others can help a brotha out.
I believe that Dr. Ammons will have 200% support when he gets here. FAMU will rise again, and for all of you who thinks Castell mismanagement of FAMU is our demise, you are highly mistaken. The difference, is that Dr. Ammons is a leader, Castell is a Dictator. Her croonies with no experience have really hurt FAMU, a quick work to rid ourselves of LIzzie, Greenleaf, Little, June, Ali, Manning is a must. Dr. Ammons is a smart man, He will make the right decisions, he knows 100 days without any changes wll ultimately be a bigger mistake. So let us dedicated FAMUans rule and help Ammons clean up this mess.
ReplyDeleteIts sad to say but this site has been my means of information concerning my beloved school. I don't trust the Tallahassee Democrap. I hope someone continues the great reporting on FAMU.
ReplyDeleteRN, you will missed....please find someone to keep this going...you guys have kept rattlers across the country informed on so many issues! You should be commended!
ReplyDeletePLEASE DON'T GO AWAY. WHAT WILL WE DO? WE KNOW YOU MUST GRADUATE AND MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND, BUT PLEASE DON'T LEAVE US HANGING.
ReplyDeleteThanks to everyone for your offers of support. We mama'nim got this. She understands. She just says Castell or no Castell she ain't supporting me after the summer semester. Mama says, it's time to finish what we started and get a job!
ReplyDeleteAlso, my pimp game is real tight and am i real fortunate to have found (at FAMU) a beautiful black sister (ain't that right Karlena) who loves me and we take care of each other.
I for one am glad you ill be graduating. Now you can step out into the real world and appreciate how the world rolls. I think with new and different experiences you will have a different perspective on some of the things you have written.
ReplyDeleteI for one will not miss you. I believe you have done alot of damage to the university and its image. There is information and then there is information. You published alot of hateful mean-spirited and slanted information all under the guise of it being news.
I guarantee you alumni of FSU and UF would never print some of the vile information about their schools you have printed. They understand the importance of protecting the image of the university at all costs.
Granted, the university did provide you with fodder. However, if you ever have the opportunity to work for an organization, you will understand the importance of the organization having loyalty and being able to control when and how information is provided.
I understand that as a journalist your job is to get the story and write the most sensational headlines to make money. Therefore stretch and embellish the truth.
Good riddance and good luck in your future endeavors!
3:29,
ReplyDeleteI can assure you that your comments are in the minority! Castell has brought all this on herself.

ReplyDeleteAnd what about the administrator's responsibility to be loyal to FAMUans? What about the administrator's responsibility to give accurate information to those who love the institution.
RattlerNation consistently exposed the lies that the Bryant administration was putting in the public domain. If Bryant had been loyal enough to tell the truth openly and forthrightly, then there would have been no need for RN to be created.
You are a blind, cringing, bootlicking, phony Rattler who can't tell the difference between the fighting for FAMU's continued existence and being passive. Maybe one day you'll wake up and actually learn that leaders like Bryant who lie to the public don't have our best interests at heart.
Now you said dat...
ReplyDeleteI don't know you personally, even though i beleive i do. Trust me you really will be missed, you just dont know how much great help you have brought me on my matriculation at FAMU, when me and my crew are trying to find out whats the deal with this corrupt administration, you seem to always beat us to the punch first. I must really comend you, we seem to both think on the same page, and i do beleive that everything good will come to you. Better than the democrat or the Famuan, i must really commend you, and hit ya boy up one day, cause you wouldn't beleive who we thought you was, its funny what suprises life give you.

ReplyDelete^^^^How about you make sushi and disappear?
Castell and 'nem ain't puttin' in damn word to save your sorry arse, bootlickin', meddlin', arse kissin', wanna be down with the sistas cause you don't wanna be a brother self.
KMA! (do I need to spell it out)
Fabian, didn't I tell you to stay away from this blog spot with that horrendous writing? Jesus Christ! I cringe every time I see that you've written something. Have you ever sat in a basic writing course and learned basic principles of writing? Jesus. If nothing else comes of the close of RattlerNation, at least you, Fabian James, will not be able to post any of that atrocious commentary. Good Lord.
ReplyDelete^^^^I get people talking.
ReplyDeletelol
ReplyDeleteLeave yungin alone, jeeze!
ReplyDelete3:29 and other haters..if you don't like Rattler Nation, don't come on the blog. It's really that simple.
ReplyDeleteNice strawman argument, 3:29. This blog has shown more insight and perspective than any of the commercial media sources in the entire state. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteRN/Da Rattler, I truly wish you well in your future endeavors. I echo the sentiments of many here. You will be missed dearly.
ReplyDeleteGlad you found a beautiful sistah you can love. It sure seems like brothers have given up on us.
Good luck Beautiful Black Man!
