Oh hell nawwwwwwww.
A band announcer at HBCU (Historically Black College or University) Florida A&M is in hot water after roasting the Honey Beez dancers, who are required to be at least 250 pounds, from the Alabama State marching band.
"The new face of Ozempic," announcer Joe Bullard said as the Alabama State band started to take the field Saturday during halftime.
Needless to say, that comment isn't playing well within the HBCU world even though it's awesome to hear rivals roasting each other. It's college! Let's have some fun here.

We're talking about Lizzo-sized dancers who pride themselves on being BIG girls. Bullard's just calling balls and strikes here.
But, he bent the knee and apologized. "I would like to sincerely apologize for my remarks during the Florida A&M University vs. Alabama State University football game this past Saturday," Bullard wrote in a statement. "My comments directed toward the ASU Honey Beez were meant as lighthearted banter, but I now recognize that they came across in a way that was hurtful and disrespectful."
