When a college football team loses a four-year starting quarterback, a four-year starting wide receiver, and its offensive coordinator, it might be cause for concern.

Yes, it's true the No. 19 Cats saw four-year starting quarterback DeNarius McGhee graduate, as well as one of the most proli...
In 1992, when Republican Marc Racicot and Democrat Dorothy Bradley were running for Montana governor, they went from town to town, debating each other. In all, they had 25 debates. Many were televised or on the radio. If people were uninformed about the race, it was their own fault. Contrast that to this year’s gubernatorial race. It looks like only one debate will be held — in Bozeman Oct. 4. And there is still some doubt about that one. The Billings Gazette has traditionally held one of the biggest attention-getting deb...

Some considered the Montana Grizzlies’ 2013 season a bounce-back year. Others just saw it as a success. But with a head-scratching loss to Coastal Carolina in the second round of the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs on a chilly December day in Missoula, many saw it as a roller coaster of a season with a disappointing end. But whatever way you looked at 2013, it was a fun, wild ride in Missoula. And, as the Grizzlies get set to take on FBS Wyoming in their s...
