Griz Fan Pod

Montana is now 2-0 after coming

off a 42-7 home opener win against Western Illinois.  We just cannot stop talking about how

impressive this defense has been so far! 

This week we focus on our observations from the game and cover our

overall thoughts of where this team is at with the bye week ahead of us.  This was also the first full capacity home

game since November of 2019 and we share our thoughts on the gameday

experience, good and bad. 

With no upcoming game to preview we then hop right into recapping games around the Big Sky and then make our picks for the week ahead.  And after our most popular episode left we had a lot of new fan questions to get to.

We’re back at it, and fresh off the greatest regular season upset that the Montana Grizzlies have ever accomplished. Riley Corcoran, The Voice of the Griz, joins the guys to give his perspective on this historic win. Get an inside look before, during, and after the Grizzlies upset the Huskies.

There’s more to talk about than just the Washington win though, the Western Illinois Leathernecks are coming to town. The guys discuss who to look for, what to expect, and how to avoid a letdown. Additionally there was plenty to break down from around the Big Sky too.

As always we close with a wide array of fan questions, some serious, some not so much.

The Griz are back, and the GFP is back as well!  Recorded on a slightly rainy night in Mike’s back yard the guys get together to spend a few hours discussing where this team is at, and where they think it’s headed.  It’s been months since the last recording and there was plenty to cover.  This recording includes updates on how the summer has been for the guys, plus some QB Club updates.  Then the topic moves to the team, new additions, how the roster looks, and thoughts on depth.  There’s a good discussion on perceived team strengths and weaknesses as well.  After that the guys (including James) pick the team’s record for the regular season and field fan questions.

The spring 2021 season is in the books for Montana as the Grizzlies finished with two decisive blowout wins at home. This time with guest Riley Corcoran, play-by-play broadcaster for Montana, the guys reflect on the spring. Discussions cover some thoughts from the Portland State game, team depth, and a look around the conference as a whole.

There’s fan questions you won’t want to miss either, would Riley make an electrifying call while eating peanut butter? What’s it like interviewing Bobby and Travis after a loss? Also where we all think Montana stacks up in the fall of 2021.
