Hall of Fame: Massey's wait finally over

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Sixty years is a lifetime for some.

For former Middle Tennessee State tackle Ralph Massey, 60 years represents the amount of time between when he walked off the gridiron as a Blue Raider for the last time and when he'll walk into the Blue Raider Hall of Fame as one of its newest members.

On Saturday, about 61 years after Massey's final season in Murfreesboro in 1957, the now Franklin resident will be inducted with six other former Blue Raiders.

"To me, it's one of the most important things of my life," Massey said.
