  • Looking Out My Back Door: August in Montana on a cheeseburger a day

    Updated Aug 27, 2015

    When I lived in Harlem, Shirley, Bev and I gallivanted around the country whenever we felt the strong urge to get out of Dodge, to shake out the metaphorical cobwebs. Since we “solita” women find cooking for one less than fun, someone would take the initiative, “Let’s go to Turner (or elsewhere) for a burger. I’ll drive.” So it seemed natural, while back in Harlem, to revisit our favorite haunts. When the train from Wolf Point pulled into Havre on a Sunday, my friends met me at the station. “Is there anything you want to do w...

  • Blue Ponies loaded for a run

    Chris Peterson|Updated Aug 27, 2015

    If any high school football team was ever looking for a recipe for success, it couldn't do much better than a head coach with three state titles on his resume and a three-time All-State quarterback. Yet, that is exactly what Havre High has heading into its 2015 season with new head coach Mark Samson and quarterback Dane Warp. And that is also why expectations for Havre football have gone through the roof. In truth, expectations are always high when it comes to Blue Pony...

  • Skylights ready for week two

    George Ferguson|Updated Aug 27, 2015

    Last Saturday was a good day for the Montana State University-Northern volleyball team. In LaGrande, Oregon, the Skylights finished their season-opening tournament with two straight wins. Those wins came on the heels of back-to-back losses last Friday, so to see his team back bounce the way they did, that impressed veteran head coach Bill Huebsch. Now however, Huebsch wants to see more, and the Skylights (2-2) will go looking for more when they travel to Helena for the Big...

    There’s some big games this weekend around the state of Montana. Of course, the college football season at the NCAA level kicks off with the Montana Grizzlies and North Dakota State Bison on ESPN Saturday in Missoula. But, when it comes to football, there’s plenty of big games closer to home, too. The biggest of them all, and perhaps the biggest game in Class A’s first week of the season, will take place in what will be hot and windy Blue Pony Stadium Saturday after...

  • 2015 Cat-Griz Preview: Powerful Bobcats hungry for more success

    George Ferguson|Updated Aug 27, 2015

    In the spring of 2014, the Montana State Bobcats, and veteran head coach Rob Ash saw three of the greatest offensive players the school has ever had graduate. At the time, no one knew just how the 2014 season would go with so much talent lost. MSU responded though by possessing one of the best and most potent offenses in the Football Championship Subdivision in 2014, a team that averaged nearly 40 points and well over 400 yards per outing. On the flip side, MSU finished 2014,...

  • 2015 Cat-Griz Preview: Talented Grizzlies begin a new era

    George Ferguson|Updated Aug 27, 2015

    When it comes to Montana Grizzly football, the cliché has always been, the Grizzlies don’t rebuild, they reload. However, as the dawn of the 2015 season approaches, the Grizzlies may not be rebuilding, but they’re certainly starting over. Bob Stitt was announced as Montana’s new head coach back in December. Stitt, who had a successful 15-year stint at NCAA Division II Colorado School of Mines, replaced Mick Delaney, who had an up-and-down three-year run with the Grizzl...
