There’s no way of getting around it. In 2017, the Montana State University-Northern football team struggled mightily on defense. And among the many things the Lights are changing under new head coach Andrew Rolin this season, being better on the defensive side of the ball is certainly one of them.

John Wesley Contway's aliens finally came for him on August 7, 2018. I'm sure you saw or felt their gossamer wings fluttering up to the mother ship. He was smiling all the way as he'd waited so long for this final road trip. So long, in fact, that his alien humor for the past few years had begun to wear thin on those of us who love him and wanted him to stay. It was a smooth trip with no interference from Trump or his staff, as some of you may have expected. Now, on to the... Full story

If there was one word that could sum up the 2017 Frontier Conference football season, bloodbath would certainly be appropriate. There were so many good teams in the Frontier that it actually turned out to be a detriment to the league come playoff time.

Lost amidst the flurry of tariff-related disputes between the United States and Canada is an under-addressed and far weightier issue than steel.

Criminals take advantage of our soft border, which strong trade has created. Some illicit goods like...
