The Montana Grizzlies are 1-0, but it took a mighty effort to hang on and win after an impressive fight from Southern Utah.  The Montana offense would either shine, or stumble, and the defense was on the field all night.  We're here to recap the opening week game with all of our thoughts, observations, and fan questions.

Good things are worth the wait - ramp up week 1 with this season preview and chat with all of the GFP, Riley Corcoran, and Chase Reynolds.  

What's one of the first things you should do in a new leadership role at the University of Montana?  Hop on an episode of the GFP of course!  Joining us for a little over an hour is the newly installed President of the University of Montana, Jeremiah Shinn.  The conversation ranges from his background and experiences at other schools, to his vision for Montana, and the vital roll athletics plays as the front step to the University.  The second half of this episode covers BK's new contract and our up to date thoughts on the progress the program has made as fall camp looms a month away.

Get to know the new head coach of the Montana Soccer team, Stu Gore.  He sits down with the GFP and shares some information on his background as a player and then a coach.  He gives an overview on his coaching philosophy, the potential he sees in Montana, and his hopes for the future. 

Just about 4 weeks on the job as Montana's new head football coach, Bobby Kennedy spent a few hours with us to talk all things Griz football.  Get to know Coach BK a little better as he shares about his background in coaching and his approach to his current job.  Fan questions are woven throughout the 2 hour conversation as well, enjoy!

Bobby Hauck announced his retirement from the University of Montana Football program on February 4th, 2026.  When news of this magnitude hits, you know we've got to drop an emergency pod!  Joining the GFP for the first 50 minutes is Deputy Director of Athletics Greg Sundberg.  Greg talks on the day of the announcement and the days leading up to it.  From there the pod goes into our thoughts and feelings on the news.  We close with the 80+ fan questions that came our way.  

In this marathon pod the GFP takes a total look at the 2025 football season.  We discuss the positives and what's encouraging moving forward.  We also really dive into our assessments on needed changes an improvements.  It's a long pod, take it in doses.  Go Griz

With the sting from the semifinal loss still pretty strong, we sat down to talk about the game.  Additional conversations spread to some broader perspectives.  We were flooded with fan questions and nearly half of the pod is covering those.  In the weeks ahead the GFP will release another look ahead pod and full dissection on the 2025 season.

It's time to talk about the greatest upcoming game in the Griz / cat rivalry.  We're back in studio together to talk about what Montana needs to do to win the game.

Arguably the biggest sporting event in Montana will occur this Saturday when the Grizzlies and Bobcats meet in the FCS semifinals.  This week's GFP we give some time to recap the USD win and then move into the upcoming game against the bobcats.  Legacies and bragging rights will forever be on the line this weekend, ramp it up with the GFP!  Go Griz!
