New column is up!

Colonel Mustard and the Mustardettes, eleven failed landings, undisciplined zebras, zero negative rushes, and royalties in arrears.

If Eli Gillman touches the ball, he’s a threat to score.

“Thank you” hardly feels sufficient for the Griz village that helped raise me.

Coaches Pflugrad, Delaney, Stitt, Hauck, and every man I’ve had the privilege to play under and coach alongside—thank you for trusting me. You allowed me to try, to fail, to learn, to grow, and ultimately to develop into a player, coach and mentor I aspired to be. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity you gave me to pursue my dream of coaching and impacting young men.

To my family—Meghan, Giana, Karis, and Brycen: thank you for every sacrifice. Being married to a coach and being a coaches kid isn’t for the timid or the weak. The days are long, and the time away from home is frequent. You are my “why”. None of this works without your love, patience, and unwavering support.

To my players: I have been blessed with an elite and remarkable group of young men in my running back room. You showed up, competed, and gave me your best every single day. I am grateful to you and to your parents for trusting the Griz—and me—during such an important stage of your lives.

To everyone in Grizzly Athletics: I will miss seeing my people in the hallways and sharing the daily grind with you. Thank you for the loyalty and the pride you bring to this program. Keep pouring into this place—it matters more than you know.

To Griz Nation: thank you for being so good to me, my family, and this team. This is a special place filled with special people, and you are a huge reason for our success.

To our extended family: This team and city became yours too. The love and support that's been given is immeasurable.

To the friends we have made along the way, from my playing days to now: Thank you for taking us in, for loving us, and always encouraging us. Those relationships and memories will never be replaced or forgotten.

Fifteen years here have been nothing short of amazing. I will always be honored and grateful to be a Griz.

Montana LB Solomon Tuliaupupu was a 4-star recruit and the 2017 USA Today HS Defensive Player of the Year. But injuries derailed multiple seasons at USC. He transferred to Montana this season (his eighth year in college) and has been a wrecking ball late in the year. #FCS

The road to the Open Championship:

This round changed Ryggs Johnston’s career.

It was the fourth round of @DPWorldTour and he was 4 off the cut line coming into the round. Shot 65, easily made the cut. Shot another 65 in the 5th round.

Then had a difficult decision. Go to second stage of KFT Q-school or go get some vital early season starts on DP.

He WD’d and went to Australia for the first few events….and won.

Tomorrow he tees it up in his first Major.

It's a highlight tape unlike any other.

Here are all 8️⃣ of Junior Bergen's (@bergen_junior) career punt return touchdowns plus his kick return TD against Furman.

Two weeks ago Ryggs Johnston came into the fourth round at @DPWTQSchool at -4, three off the eventual cut.

Shot a 65 to easily make the cut, followed it up with another 65 in round 5 and held on in the final round to get his card.

Wasn’t sure if he’d got to Australia to play or get ready for Q-school here.

Decided to play. And now has his first win. What a story
