On Thursday, September 25th, 2014, the University of Wisconsin – River Falls held a “Tribute to Mike Farley”, the winningest coach in school history.  It just so happened that this day was also the very first day for the newly installed Astro Turf on Ramer Field.  Former players, coaches and fans attended both the festivities on the field, as well as a banquet held later that night. Thank you to the UWRF Committee for its hard work in bringing so many great memories together!
