3) Barstool Sports’ Murray State viceroy account interacted with rapper Kodak Black on Saturday. Kodak asked his Twitter followers which University to attend to further his education. This isn’t the first time a Racer account has had a witty interaction with a rap artist. Former Murray State President Bob Davies tried to recruit rapper Lil B when he asked a similar question last year.

4) The past met the future last week on Twitter when Murray State sophomore guard Ja Morant responded to former Murray State guard Isaiah Canaan in a post about Canaan’s NBA 2K player rating. Morant jokingly suggested Canaan should have a 99 overall rating on the basketball video game despite coming off a grueling injury last year. Could Morant be receiving an NBA 2K rating of his own next year?
lol we don’t care about that injury @SiP03 .. we need that 99 2k https://t.co/sIKC4lss2e
