Word on campus this morning is that both UM Grizzlies football coach Robin Pflugrad and director of athletics, Jim O'Day were let go. “It is with great sadness that I inform you all that this morning our Athletic Director, Jim O'Day and Head Football Coach Robin Pflugrad were released of their duties as of 8:00 a.m. this morning.  It will be a very difficult time for all of us in the coming days a

Making the rounds in the Missoula Facebook network today is a petition to let ESPN "know that their decision to Black out First and Second Round FCS Playoff games is a Bad Decision." #OccupyESPN?? Wow! According to a statement from the cable sports network, it all boils down to ratings. As if Montana isn't enough to support the viewership needed to make the advertisers happy. Clearly ES

Big guys have even bigger hearts, and the towering Marcus Rosser is no exception. The former power forward/center basketball player for the 2001-2003 University of Montana Grizzlies is on a mission to pay back the rewards he had been blessed with during his years representing our hometown team by coaching for Missoula's very own Special Olympics basketball team. "That's what it's all about, g

And we are not to far away from the first big football match up of the season at Washington Grizzly Stadium. Here's what we love the most about the Grizzlies playing in familiar territory.
