Bob Martin retired the Old Haag Rifle after we won it back in the first of a long string of wins over Morehead. (Anyone remember the We Beat Morehead Again posters?). Anyway Dr Martin was infuriated after a loss at Morehead when the Morehead student paper ran a photo of him handing the trophy rifle to President Adron Doran. The caption was something like “Dr Doran takes the Old Hawg Rifle from the Hawg himself.”

Well said! President Martin cast a Churchill type shadow on our campus! He governed in a tumultuous time! His kind are rare! Dr. Martin had impressive academic credentials and political clout! He loved football and winning! Go Colonels ! My comments are not anecdotal, I was there! Go Colonels.
