The trip to Ronan on Saturday reminded me of any other trip I’ve made up 93 to watch a Montana Grizzlies’ football scrimmage. Cold. Windy. Little offense. I mentioned in my story notes that two other trips north netted some pretty dismal passing numbers. The exception was 2008 in Polson: Cole Bergquist, Andrew Selle, Jeff [...]

What’s a guy to do when he’s coached or taught (or both) for 47 years? For Mick Delaney, it’s time to get out the sticks. In his time at Colorado State and at Montana, Delaney coached a total of eight running backs that made it into the NFL – though I have to admit I [...]

If you follow the Griz and the Denver Broncos, you may know where this is going. McDaniel is the offensive coordinator for the St. Louis Rams and he spent Thursday trying out running backs for an open roster spot because the Rams could be missing Steven Jackson (sore quad) Monday night against the Giants. One of [...]

The Griz are concentrating on Cal Poly this week, but it’s not too late to include this snippet KECI’s Kayla Anderson took of Jabin Sambrano’s run-in with the foundation of Neyland Stadium. Pretty good concentration. I’d also like to add that Mike McCord made an NFL-caliber hit (the TV commentators’ words) on a UT receiver [...]

I don’t know about you but the prospect of seeing Chase Reynolds and Marc Mariani returning kickoffs in the same NFL exhibition game hadn’t occured to me. When I caught up with Reynolds on Friday he said it could happen: he’s suiting up for the Rams Saturday, against Mariani and the Tennessee Titans. He joked [...]

If the Griz are going to be successful in the post-Chase Reynolds Era, they’d better go deep (read: healthy) at running back in 2011. So it was good to see Dan Moore apparently recovered from ACL surgery last November. The 230-pounder has long been a special teams standout and is widely regarded as the strongest [...]

Here’s what I was able to cobble together on Chase Reynolds’ signing by the Seattle Seahawks. Situated as I am in the Twitterverse, it was kind of nice to come in after the dust had cleared and figure out the Drummond and Griz standout hadn’t quite signed yet, but was well on his way. Given [...]

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 [...]

After 10 or so days, I am so over Montana State’s 21-16 victory over Montana in the 110th Brawl of the Wild. Two fumbles inside the 5-yard line. Another untimely interception. A fumble by MSU that went through the legs of a Griz defender, letting the Cats recover. Man. And there’s more: 1) Both third-quarter [...]

Made it through most of Saturday’s DVR of the Weber State win over Montana, by a 30-21 score. A few things that I couldn’t fit in the gamer or notebook from Ogden, Utah: 1) The Grizzlies had the ball to open the game… and kept it 43 seconds. Weber State’s first possession started at 14:17 [...]
