FAMU Athletics assistant athletic director for Marketing and
Development, Angela Suggs, talked of the need for Rattlers to support the
efforts of athletics.
“We’re in a climate where nobody else is going to do this
for us,” Suggs said. “We want to see a
successful team on the field every time they put on orange and green and what
we’re asking is for you to be a critical part of that effort…We cannot be
successful without our alumni galvanizing in support of our team.”
“When I took over as coach for the NCCU game, which was
homecoming, which was also just three days before the game, I told my kicker
Chase Varnadore to get his leg ready, because if we can’t punch it in, we’re
going to kick it. He kicked five field
goals to win that day. This year, we
want six points when we get that close,” Holmes said.
