Carla Coffey's amazing career as a student-athlete at Murray State from 1967-71 and more than 30-years as a track & field coach is in the spotlight on the podcast. The amount of young people Coach Coffey had a positive impact on is great. She did for her student-athletes as Murray State's Coach Margaret Simmons did for her when she chose the Racers out of Somerset, Ky. Carla Coffey was MSU's first woman to be inducted into the MSU Hall of Fame in 1981.

In Murray State Football lore, one of the biggest plays in the 100-year plus history of the program icame from kicker by Shane Andrus. In 2002, the Racers hosted the No. 2 Eastern Illinois Panthers, led by quarterback Tony Romo at Roy Stewart Stadium, and by the end of the day, Andrus had his moment. He booted a 52-yard field goal on the final play to give the Racers a share of the Ohio Valley Conference title. Among those who remember that day are the Voice of the Racers Neal Bradley and EIU's Mike Bradd, MSU Head Coach Joe Pannunzio and Andrus.
