Griz Fan Pod

Head football coach Bobby Hauck joins us on the GFP this week.  With two spring games on the horizon for Grizzly Football there were plenty of topics to talk about.  Bobby reflects a little on the spring so far and talks about how the spring games came together.  The group also has a discussion about the Quarterback Club and how QB Club supports the football program.  We quiz Bobby on if he knows where the Paris of the Hi-Line is, have him field a few “fan” questions, and talk about his journey in football coaching.

The Montana Grizzlies and Lady Griz basketball seasons came to an end in the Big Sky Conference tournament.  The men’s team built some momentum with two wins, including an upset win of Weber State.  While the Lady Griz suffered another challenging first round loss to a 2 win Sacramento State team.  We break down our final thoughts and we look ahead to our expectations for both teams moving forward.  What can the men’s team do to keep momentum going, and what will the head coaching job look like for the women’s team?  

After that we hop over to football, where the Big Sky spring season is about at it’s halfway point.  We discuss thoughts and observations from the conference so far.  Then we move on to Montana who has returned to practice, reported new player weights, and is getting ready for 2 spring games.  The Griz will host Central Washington and Portland State in April and we go though some expectations and players to watch.

After a quick turnaround the GFP is back and ready to cover where the halfway point of the men’s basketball season. Guests Jordan Hansen with the Missoulian and Brian Marceau with Tubs In The Club join in on the chat as well.

The 2020/2021 men’s basketball team has left many fans scratching their heads with the results so far. With a 6-7 overall record and a 2-4 conference record this team isn’t where many expected them to be. In this episode we take a deep dive into what we’re seeing with this team and our thoughts on improvement. As guests on the show Jordan provides his insight as the lead sports reporter covering the team. And Brian brings stats and info, plus a total conference perspective to the table. This pod provides a fascinating perspective on where this team is at, and where it can go.

The entire first hour is dedicated to discussions around the basketball team and the Big Sky Conference. The last 25 minutes move to football and UM/MSU opting out of the spring season plus some general sports discussion.

As this episode is being released it’s now known that Montana and Montana State have opted out of the Big Sky Conference spring season.  This was recorded a few days in advance of that. The discussions that took place covered the season and the returning roster.  Meanwhile it now appears that Montana and Montana State are going to look into two competitive scrimmage-like games this spring.   This podcast covers expectations that season might not happen, but still wasn’t sure where the final decision would land.

On this episode we do a dive into some positions and players that we’re looking forward to seeing. We share some inside info on the challenges with how the UM would adapt to covid protocols. There’s also some coverage and discussion on the Griz and Lady Griz basketball teams so far.  Finally our fan questions covered topics for football, the MCU, and which coach could eat 20 buffalo wings the quickest.

With men’s and women’s basketball in full swing the GFP is back at it with guest Colter Nuanez of Skyline Sports and ESPN Radio of Missoula.   Should we be freaking out over the men’s start of the season?  What does the strong start for the Lady Griz tell us?  Will there be a football season?  Did Luke forget how to do the intro?  We try to tackle these topics and make sure to get to fan questions as well.
