FIU Football: Lightning Cuts the Panthers Spring Game Short
MIAMI, FL — At 8:56 Saturday morning, FIU head coach Mike MacIntyre sent out a tweet that read “Great weather tonight, come out and support these men!”
Now entering his second season at the helm of the Panthers, the case can be made that MacIntyre has the program ready to compete for a bowl berth in 2023. However, he still has a bit to learn about the South Florida weather pattern.
At 6:50 PM roughly 20 minutes into the team’s Spring Showcase that saw the players get through special teams and position-specific drills, lightning strikes were recorded within an eight-mile radius of the stadium — forcing fans and players alike to vacate the outdoor area.
