  • Seeding Rural Resilience Act

    Updated Oct 21, 2019

    I know firsthand that farming and ranching has never been easy. My wife, Sharla, and I still run our family farm outside of Big Sandy on the same land my grandparents homesteaded more than 100 years ago. For our family and producers across Montana, working the land that’s been passed down for generations has never been about just making a buck — it’s a way of life in rural America. But the reality is that this business comes with real, sometimes overwhelming, uncertainty. This administration’s trade war hasn’t made it any ea...

  • Bear Pawed: Rocky Mountain 57, Northern 39

    George Ferguson|Updated Oct 21, 2019

    On the opening weekend of the 2019 Frontier Conference football season, the young Montana State University-Northern Lights found themselves in a shoot out with Rocky Mountain College. So Saturday must have felt like deja vu, for both teams. In a Frontier rematch, the Lights started fast but could only watch as RMC raced past Northern 57-39 in front of a big crowd at Blue Pony Stadium. The loss dropped the Lights to 0-6 in the Frontier and 1-6 overall. "All I can say is, we're...

  • MSU-N Notebook: Lights make gains on the ground

    George Ferguson|Updated Oct 21, 2019

    Andrew Rolin has said, from literally the day he became head coach at Montana State University-Northern, that he wanted the Lights to be a dominant running team. Of course, Rolin, who is certainly an offensive innovator, didn't mean that he wanted the Lights to be a three-yard-and-a-cloud-of dust program either. No, he just wanted Northern to be dynamic and dominant running the ball. And while in his first year-and-half at the helm, it hasn't always been the case, for much of...

The No. 15 Hornets dominated both sides of the ball en route to the big win, as Montana returned from the bye week with a rusty performance. The Grizzlies f...

  • George Ferguson Column: It sure was nice to be at a game where weather wasn't the story

    George Ferguson|Updated Oct 20, 2019

    I can’t lie, it was weird being back inside Blue Pony Stadium on Saturday. It was weird because, I felt like I hadn’t covered or watched a football game in there in a long, long time. But most of all, it was weird because, the last time any of us were in there, it was about as bad of weather as I’ve ever seen at a game there, and, the weird thing was, it was only the end of September. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to drudge up that day last month for anything. It was ugly...
