Here’s my weekly “Who’s Next” story concerning the Sacramento State Hornets, who play host to the No. 10 Grizzlies Saturday evening. It’s hard to tell which version I’ll see Saturday — the Hornets who were 13 points from going 8-0 in Big Sky play a year ago, or the ones who took it on the [...]

Fifteen seniors, including Andrew Selle and Chase Reynolds, graduate off the 2010 Montana Grizzlies, leaving Robin Pflugrad to hit the recruiting trail and replace some excellent talent. Yet there are quite a few players ready to fill big shoes already in the system. Whether they can, or if they can rebound from injuries, remains to [...]

Here’s my feature on Severin Campbell for Saturday’s GameDay section, as well as the straight advance of the Northern Colorado game seen in today’s Missoulian. But we couldn’t stop there: Here’s the story on Montana athletic director Jim O’Day’s controversial e-mail — a dispatch he no doubt didn’t mean to go public. I think he [...]

Here’s the Missoulian’s brief breaking news story on Andrew Selle’s career being over with the Montana Grizzlies. He’s a senior, a captain, and at least as good a student as he is an athlete. And he’s a pretty heck-acious athlete. The news is sad, though the Griz don’t have much time to grieve. Justin Roper [...]

You may have heard that Jeremiah Masoli found himself in a bit of trouble at Oregon recently, resulting in his getting kicked off the Ducks’ football team. But now that he’s completed his undergrad studies at OU, he can be eligible to play for someone other than the Ducks – and one blogger says that [...]

So I’ve been wondering where Marc Mariani, the subject of my Wednesday column, ranked in the annals of FCS title games with his two 170-yard outings in 2008-09. The NCAA doesn’t do such a great job with its record books, so it seemed it was up to me to find out. So I found out. [...]

It’s been 20 hours and I’ve watched the game over again, and I’m still trying to find the words to describe that scene at Washington-Grizzly Stadium Saturday night, after the Griz beat App State 24-17 in the FCS semifinals. Surprising shouldn’t be one of them; after the first-round comeback for a 61-48 win over South [...]

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) [...]

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 [...]
