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.

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!

Ace gave us the keys this week and we met up at the Townsquare studio to record this week's GFR.  We're wrapping SDSU, talking South Dakota, and all things playoffs.  Go Griz!

With a week of rest the Montana Grizzlies put on their best performance of the season in a masterful beatdown of the SDSU Jackrabbits.  This week we dive into our takeaways from the game and what this means going forward.  We look around the playoffs a bit and give some time to Montana's next opponent, South Dakota.  The last 90 minutes or so cover the overwhelming amount of fan questions.
