brawl of the wild

The longstanding tradition of "smack talk" before the big Brawl of the Wild game. A time when Montanans from border to border pick what side they are on and commence heckling the opposing team.

Why isn't this already happening?

Certain viewers will be able to watch the game from home... but others may have to make some alternate plans.

After a long campaign to get ESPN's College GameDay in Missoula, the network passed... and Montanans had a strong reaction to the news.

The #GrizonGameDay campaign continues to add big names to try to bring in ESPN to cover Brawl of the Wild.

And the game is back to go with the competition this year.

Multiple games will see the Griz play outside of just regional coverage.

Maroon and Silver vs. Blue and Gold, that’s the name of the game this week in Montana, or should I say ‘The Brawl of the Wild’?

The Montana Legislature will have to deal with a shrinking state surplus as both houses will be dominated by Republicans.
