Butch Davis’ microphone didn’t work properly, but that wasn’t going to stop the determined FIU football coach.
The occasion was Saturday night’s basketball game against Florida Atlantic that drew an FIU-record crowd for a home basketball game of 4,710. At halftime, the FIU football team was honored for its Bahama Bowl victory and a school-record nine-win season.
Davis, holding a malfunctioning mic, spoke to the crowd by, in essence, yelling.
Hey, whatever it takes, which is what Davis has done the past two years, overcoming lots of adversity and winning a total of 17 games for the best run of success in program history.
