In Friday’s Missoulian, ahead of Saturday’s 112th Cat-Griz game, we have point and counterpoint of players plucked from the other school’s backyard: Cody Kirk and Brock Coyle. Both are juniors. And while Bill Speltz’s feature on Kirk notes that the Frenchtown product could meet up with long-time buddy Jordan Tripp, a Montana Grizzly linebacker, there’s another guy that [...]

The Montana Grizzlies have lost in their last two trips to Ogden, Utah, but today is a little bit of a switch: It is unseasonably warm down here. The forecast calls for 55 degrees at kickoff (1:30 p.m.) and there’s a 10 percent chance of rain. I gotta tell you, it seems to rain every [...]

As noted earlier, it was a bizarre game full of big plays that threatened to turn the tide either [...]
