I figured that the running backs with the carbon-copy stats would have the biggest impact on Saturday’s FCS playoff game between the Montana Grizzlies and South Dakota State Jackrabbits. Well, SDSU’s Kyle Minett had the better stats – 35 carries, 131 yards, two TDs – but UM’s Chase Reynolds (14 carries, 35 yards, 3 TDs) [...]

Here’s the belated posting on Saturday’s 109th “Brawl,” with links to my game story, Bill Speltz’s column and our notebook.
After every game I rewatch the telecast on my DVR, to see things I might’ve missed — or that others missed — during the live action. Among the things I wanted to see was the illegal [...]

The Big Sky announced its all-conference team on Tuesday and nine Griz made the first-team, which is a lot better than the three they got in their magical 2008 season.
The most glaring omission last year, for me, was free safety Shann Schillinger. Now a senior, the Baker product got the nod this season. I was [...]

Like the blood drive, like the new Field Turf, love the underwear run. Montana State students “warmed” themselves up for today’s 109th Brawl of the Wild with a run through campus in their underwear — you can see a video on the Bozeman Daily Chronicle Website.
The unmentionables were mostly blue and gold, but there were [...]

I’m just about ready to rent a car and head over a couple mountain passes to Bozeman, to watch the Montana Grizzlies take on the MSU Bobcats in the 109th Brawl of the Wild.*
I stayed in the office until 1 a.m. Friday writing up Saturday’s advance story along with some Griz tracks. I have to [...]

Here’s the first taste of Griz-Cat Week 109 — the “Brawl of the Wild” is set for Saturday in Bozeman, where it’ll be chilly, and it could snow, and the Griz will be wearing maroon-trimmed uniforms.
Last year’s “throwback” game featured copper jerseys and pants trim plus yellow helmets for the Griz — their look from [...]

With a news conference scheduled for 45  minutes from now in Portland, it’s seems likely that Jerry Glanville has coached his last football game at Portland State.
Glanville came to PSU three seasons ago amid much fanfare and, if you take this TV article seriously, rumors that the Vikings were thinking of bagging football. He was [...]

After weeks of wondering whether it was a good idea to alternate quarterbacks, I’m starting to believe Bobby Hauck has the right idea with Andrew Selle and Justin Roper. Both have their moments when they’re sharp and moments when they struggle. There’s something about alternating every third series that seems to recharge both [...]

Here’s a link to Sunday’s story about Matthew Brenner, and congrats from me on a job well done. Twice.
Brenner didn’t have surprise on his side this time, and he did have a lot more company out at the 35, including Griz running back Peter Nguyen, who kept walking back and forth in front of Brenner [...]

After cranking out 96 inches of copy on Montana’s 38-10 win over Northern Colorado, there ain’t much left in the tank, but here are a few points.
1) Severin Campbell is playing like a man possessed. Listed at 210 pounds, the junior out of Denver might seem too light to play defensive end, but he’s been [...]
