The Racer Insider Podcast

Episode 14 of The Murray Bank Racer Insider podcast starts with a look at the Rumblin' Racers, as Mitch Stewart's club uses a record-setting ground game to move to 2-0 in OVC play with a win at Eastern Illinois. Lindy and Travis reflect on the win and look ahead to Saturday's contest with Tennessee State. Episode 14 also provides an update on men's basketball, as more good news arrives in recruiting for Matt McMahon and his program.

Episode 13 of The Murray Bank Racer Insider podcast puts the spotlight on Murray State's very impressive win over Tennessee-Martin in the Racers' OVC football opener. Lindy and Travis also reflect back on four outstanding Racer basketball teams of the last decade as they prepare to decide which of these great teams was best.

In episode 12 of The Murray Bank Racer Insider podcast, Lindy and Travis take a look at Racer Football's critical OVC opener with Tennessee-Martin. Lindy also discusses good news for Racer Basketball, as Matt McMahon's programs adds two very talented 2019 commitments.

After a week away, the Racer Insider is back as Lindy joins Travis to discuss Murray State football's trip to Lexington. The guys took note of the mascot 'controversy' (you would think they would know more about horses in that part of the world), and they share their thoughts on the media and fans that flamed it. And a text to Lindy from a former Racer coach prompts a discussion on the many great guards to grace the Racer back court over the years.

Episode 10 of The Murray Bank Racer Insider podcast features a visit with Murray State's first African-American varsity athlete, Dennis Jackson. When Dennis broke the color barrier at Murray State, he was also leading athletic integration in the OVC and across the South. Dennis starred in track and on the football field for the Racers, and he leaned on his faith and family as he faced various challenges through his career. His focus on his primary mission...completing his education...never wavered, and Dennis used his degree to carve out a career in education that has allowed him to serve young people and his community for 50 years.

Episode 9 of The Murray Bank Racer Insider podcast features a visit with one of Murray State's most decorated athletes. Tommy 'T-Bird' Turner was the first OVC athlete to win a national championship, and his indoor title in the 600 yard dash was just one of many great achievements during a career that eventually took Turner to the 1972 Olympic Games. As special as he was as an athlete, Tommy's life as an educator and coach is even more impressive. Join us to hear from a proud Racer who has spent over 40 years serving the young people in his care.

With Lindy away on assignment, Travis tackles Racer football on his own. He reflects on Murray State's strong effort at Central Arkansas, and he takes a look ahead as the Racers travel to Lexington to face Kentucky.

Murray State's basketball excellence stretches back for decades. But in the late 1970's the program was at a critical crossroads. Ron Greene's arrival from Mississippi State signaled a desire to restore the program to the top of the OVC, and Coach Greene's teams did that in very short order. Lindy and Travis review the Greene era in episode 7.

Episode 6 of The Murray Bank Racer Insider podcast explores how Lindy Suiter became the Racer Insider. We explore his journey as a Racer fan, and Lindy also shines the spotlight on one of his all-time favorites, two-time OVC Player of the Year Les Taylor.

As August comes to a close, we can begin to anticipate the return of Racer Basketball. Lindy provides an update on the Racer men, and he and Travis take a look at a host of new names on the men's and women's rosters.
