In the late 1960's a smashing running back from Shelby, Ohio arrived at Murray State. His name was Rick Fisher. A MSU hall of famer since 1981, Fisher's records with the Racers are still standing the test of time as he's still the fourth all-time rusher in program history. On today's podcast, Fisher talks of how of he came to MSU, the crazy life of professional football, his great run as head coach at Murray High School (1990-2005) and the now famous 1994 Kentucky state championship game that still has people talking because of its strange ending. Wayback Wednesday takes us back to a MSU football win at EKU in 2004 and MSU Athletics recently secured its 30th straight semester of a 3.0 GPA for its combined 350+ student-athletes.
