Alabama State and FAMU are now dead even on their head-to-head series.
The teams have been playing since 1909. That’s 114 years of history
The thrilling game at Bragg Stadium on Saturday was the epitome of not only HBCU football but college football at its best. Many Alabama State fans made the short trip to Tallahassee in force. Last year, a large FAMU contingent traveled to Montgomery for another thrilling game that came down to the wire. The distance between Montgomery, AL, and Tallahassee, FL is just 211 miles. That underscores FAMU’s move to the SWAC to save on travel costs. Previously the closest school to FAMU was Daytona Beach, FL (Bethune-Cookman) at 256 miles. Though B-CU will always be FAMU’s arch-rival, the FAMU vs ASU game is gaining momentum to be the next biggest thing.
