While the Montana Grizzlies gear up for their final spring football practice before spring break, here’s a story about how a young but capable group of receivers has looked so far. In my mind the Griz haven’t had so many unproven wide outs in maybe 25 years. This may be a reason Coach Mick Delaney [...]

An alert reader pointed out that while I wrote Friday that Marquin Russell was the 10th verbal commitment for the Montana Grizzlies’ 2013 football signing class, I didn’t name the other nine. Below is my list so far, with whatever detail I was able to dig up on each player. Some of these guys are [...]

News flash, Griz fans. You didn’t have Johnny Manziel out there. In fact, Jordan Johnson was no Johnny Manziel — at least not after that Sac State loss in 2011, am I right? But in 2012 there was no Jordan Johnson, either, and so the Montana Grizzlies came at the world with Trent McKinney and Shay Smithwick-Hann [...]

While some hold out hope that a big Montana Grizzly victory in Saturday’s Brawl of the Wild will mean an FCS playoff berth, this is likely the last game of UM’s season. The Sports Network’s Craig Haley notes there will be many 7-, 8- and even possibly a 10-win team that won’t make the 20-team [...]

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 [...]

Check out this item, which has already made Deadspin.com, on how the University of Washington has tried to bring in-game updates from sports writers in check. I’d have had no idea of this unless Todd Dybas, a writer for the Tacoma News-Tribune, hadn’t been reprimanded for going over his 20 allowed tweets during a recent [...]

The University of Montana released its 2013 football schedule during this bye week, a 12-game docket that includes six contests at Washington-Grizzly Stadium. The road games are interesting, including a Sept. 14 game at the University of North Dakota — the Grizzlies’ second straight trip to Grand Forks. It gets better (or worse): The Griz [...]

Now that the dust has settled on Montana’s hard-earned 24-21 win at Weber State – or whatever stands in for dust on artificial turf — there are things I should have taken into consideration while writing up that gamer. 1) Weber linebacker Anthony Morales was everywhere. His hard hit, combined with the ground, broke up [...]

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 [...]

That wasn’t much of a fight the Idaho State Bengals put up Saturday, in a 70-24 loss to the Montana Grizzlies, but you know they are chasing history. I just learned that in 2008 the Bengals gave up a Big Sky-record 494 points. They’ve given up 432 already this season, and have games left against [...]
