Things I wish I’d written, Cat-Griz version

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 [...]

Things I wish I’d written, Weber version

Listed at 210 pounds, the junior out of Denver might seem too light to play defensive end, but he’s [...]
