After a quick turnaround the GFP is back and ready to cover the halfway point of the men's basketball season. Guests Jordan Hansen with the Missoulian and Brian Marceau with Tubs In The Club join in on the chat as well.
The 2020/2021 men's basketball team has left many fans scratching their heads with the results so far. With a 6-7 overall record and a 2-4 conference record this team isn't where many expected them to be. In this episode we take a deep dive into what we're seeing with this team and our thoughts on improvement. As guests on the show Jordan provides his insight as the lead sports reporter covering the team. And Brian brings stats and info, plus a total conference perspective to the table. This pod provides a fascinating perspective on where this team is at, and where it can go.
The entire first hour is dedicated to discussions around the basketball team and the Big Sky Conference. The last 25 minutes move to football and UM/MSU opting out of the spring season plus some general sports discussion.

As this episode is being released we've now got news that the University of Montana and Montana State have opted out of the Big Sky Conference spring season. This was recorded a few days in advance where discussions take place about the season, the roster, and implications for the team moving forward. What's known now is that Montana and Montana State are going to look into two competitive scrimmage-like games.
On this episode the guys do a bit of a dive into some positions and players they're looking forward to seeing. There's also some coverage and discussion on the Griz and Lady Griz basketball teams so far. Fan questions cover topics for football, the MCU, and which coach could eat 20 buffalo wings the quickest.

Last week the Big Sky Conference released the 6 game season for spring of 2020. With guest Andrew Schmidt, who is still everyone's favorite backup running back, Mike and Brint discuss what the spring 2020 season may look like. The guys discuss the toll two seasons in a year might take on college players, the logistics to pull off a spring season, and the amount of challenges Montana and other FCS schools face. Additionally we discuss the NFL and covid impacts so far and a bit on Griz Hoops. As always we cover fan questions, talk Halloween candy, and some of the biggest movie fan theories.

It’s been nearly 25 years since the black-and-blue, decomposed body of an 18-year-old Livingston youth was found wedged in the banks of the Yellowstone River.
Generations filter and pass, yet a cluster of Livingston residents vividly remember Nelson McNair’s renegade teenage charisma. Charisma is a word that of course is hard to describe. When compared with the flesh experience it tries to capture, it falls short. But Nelson McNair had it and, according to friends, family and law enforcement, someone may have purposely eliminated it by taking his life almost 25 years ago.

The guys are back, this time with Senior Associate AD Greg Sundberg as a guest on the show. Greg shares a little bit about his background and what got him to Grizzly Athletics and then dives in deep on many hot topics. The guys then move to talking about the GSA, its source of funds, possible 2020/21 shortfalls, and how fans can help today.
Of course the biggest topic on everyone's mind is what the 2020 fall football season may (or may not) look like. Greg gives us his thoughts and shares his overall opinions on the odds for a season as well. Also discussed are what alternate plans might look for in the fall and the challenges of moving football to the spring.
As usual the show closes with fan questions, many of which circulate around the upcoming football season. There's questions on known North Dakota jokes, the Hi-line, and eating a wooden door too. Naturally the show had to have some odd questions!
