Before I get to the things I wish I’d written about the Cat-Griz game – and there’s plenty – here’s my prediction for the all-Big Sky Conference football team. It’ll be released Tuesday, and I have to say: I am laughably bad at these things. But I suppose that’s part of the fun, and I [...]

Game time is near for the Big Sky Conference showdown between the No. 11 Montana Grizzlies and Weber State; as I look down on te field I see Trumaine Johnson and Gerald Kemp dressed out; Jon Opperud (appendectomy) is not. It promises to be a physical game — at least, if you count up all [...]
