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 [...]

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 [...]

No, this isn’t about a blues song that goes, in part, “What’s the price? Thirty twice.” It’s not the version by Stevie Ray Vaughn, although he’s amazing enough to take me completely off task (so here’s something from Jimmy and Stevie Ray’s “Family Style” album). Where was I? Oh, yeah, this blog post links you [...]

Here’s an opening of camp story from the Deseret News on Weber State, which has had some difficult things to go through, starting with the retirement of venerable coach Ron McBride. As most people know, the Wildcats hired John L. Smith to replace McBride, only to lose Smith to Arkansas when the Razorbacks fired Bobby [...]

You know what happens when you spend a good part of the game trying to come up with witty tweets and Facebook posts? You miss this. Will Cherry’s three-point play included a takedown of the ESPN camera man; I’m pretty if I’d asked Cherry about it, he would’ve had a pretty decent quote. Also, take [...]

I dug up this article on John L. Smith* from the Dec. 7 Deseret News, which covered his introductory press conference as head coach at Weber State. He might be 63, but the man can coach. Michigan State fans may disagree, but Smith was successful at Utah State (relatively) and Louisville and Idaho where, believe [...]

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 [...]

Here’s my weekly “Who’s Next” story concerning the Sacramento State Hornets, who play host to the No. 10 Grizzlies Saturday evening. It’s hard to tell which version I’ll see Saturday — the Hornets who were 13 points from going 8-0 in Big Sky play a year ago, or the ones who took it on the [...]
