Many remember Hank Flick for his famous introductions at the Hump before basketball games. If you talk to any Mississippi State fans who watched basketball, or football for that matter, before the mid-2000s will remember Flick’s unique voice booming over the speakers.
Phrases like “To the Hump…FORRRR HOOPS!” and “First Down, Bulldogs” bellowed throughout the campus in that recognizable voice for years. Flick quickly became an icon of Mississippi State sports, and when you even heard a small bit of commentary over the PA system, you could tell that Hank was at the helm. When the microphone was taken from Hank Flick, many fans, including myself, cried foul.
