Cornerback Joe Manning grew up cheering for Florida A&M, the school Southern University will host Saturday night, and rooting against SU, the school he plays for now.

“I used to go to the FAM games and root for FAM, since that’s the home town,” said Manning, who went to Lincoln High in Tallahassee, Fla., and lives about a 10-minute drive from the FAMU campus. “I grew up hating them (Soutehrn).”

There is no more hate for Southern from Manning. Now there is an appreciation that comes from seeing both sides of one of black college football’s best rivalries.
