August 22, 2007 Edition...

The Insider Column
By Lindy Suiter
(August 22, 2007)   As Matt Griffin prepares the Racers for the 2007 football season there’s no overlooking the fact that this is a very young team. But I know that Griffin and his players expect to win anyway.

Neal Bradley's Column
By Neal Bradley
(August 22, 2007)  Last year’s edition of the Racer football team was undermanned to begin the season, with only 24 juniors and seniors combined. So with that total down to 13 juniors and seniors this season, how can they possibly be expected to improve on last year’s 1-10 slate?

Murray-Louisville Game Preview
By Will Aubrey
(August 22, 2007)  Over the years Murray State has played a number of talented IA opponents. Wisconsin, Brigham Young, Minnesota and Mississippi come to mind. They even played Louisville in 1990, the year the Cardinals crushed Alabama in the Fiesta Bowl.

Racer Football Preview
By Will Aubrey
(August 22, 2007)  When Matt Griffin took over as head football coach at Murray State the program was at its lowest ebb since the early 90’s. Back then MSU hired Houston Nutt to rebuild the team and he succeeded beyond everyone’s expectations. Even so he didn’t post a winning record until his third year.

OVC Football Preview
By Will Aubrey
(August 22, 2007)  Over the last seven years Eastern Illinois and Jacksonville State have dominated Ohio Valley Conference football as the Panthers or Gamecocks have won the title outright or shared it every single year.

Basketball Success Key to Overall Success
By Will Aubrey
(August 22, 2007)  As another season of Racer athletics gets underway we sat down with Murray State Athletic Director Allen Ward and discussed the progress that's been made over the last year and what lies ahead.

Q&A with Billy Kennedy
By Will Aubrey
(August 22, 2007)  In his first year as head basketball coach at Murray State University Billy Kennedy led the Racers to a 16-14 record and a tie for second in the Ohio Valley Conference. With practice starting in less than two months we took the opportunity to sit down with him and talk about the season ahead.

Volleyball Preview
By Will Aubrey
(August 22, 2007)  Last year Murray State's volleyball team was one of the most improved in the entire country as they went from seven wins in 2005 to 19 in 2006. Their 11 wins in Ohio Valley Conference play led to a third place finish, their best since 2003.

Soccer Preview
By Will Aubrey
(August 22, 2007)  The Murray State University women's soccer team staggered out of the gate last year, losing their first three games by a combined score of 8-0. Since they were coming off of the best season in the program's history that kind of a start was shocking. But with a new head coach and a new offense perhaps it shouldn’t have been.
