Saturday’s scrimmage, coming as it did on the fourth practice of spring drills, ended with the Montana Grizzlies’ defense ahead of their offense. That’s normal. But there is a chance that this defense, with 10 starters back from a group that got better as the season went on – and I’m including the record-setting North [...]

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 [...]

One is Ty Gregorak, who was a motivating, recruiting, blue language barrier-breaking linebackers coach at UM for seven seasons under Bobby Hauck. We all know what happened between Hauck’s leaving for UNLV and the Rebels’ first game this season. Long story short, Gregorak [...]

Here’s the best story so far about former Griz linebacker coach Ty Gregorak, who is in a bit of trouble after a night out in Boulder, Colo. It’s cringe-worthy and a little hinky: Gregorak is accused of stealing items out of a bouncer’s car, yet as far as I can tell the car wasn’t broken [...]
