For @UW_MBB fans, I’ll give you a story of what kind of guy Danny Sprinkle is … in December of 2021, my youngest son Cameron - with money given to him by our public health department for getting a COVID shot - purchased a desk placard he could put his school picture in 1/4 …

You want to talk about Indian culture in Montana, here you go. Harlem knocks off two-time defending state champion Lodge Grass and the first thing the Wildcats players do is go to comfort the Indians and their hero, Damon Gros Ventre, instead of celebrating the upset. #mtscores

You’re not just hiring a damn good coach in Danny Sprinkle, you’re bringing in a man who is good to every level of fan, donor, player or administrator. If anyone can get UW turned around, it’s this man. All the best coach. 4/4

You don’t have to be a Bobcat or Griz or Beaver, If you’re from Montana, you jump for joy a player and person like Troy Andersen is playing on Sundays. What a night for Dillon. Can’t wait to watch him play at the highest level.

Butte and Anaconda built the country. All Bozo ever did was sell out to rich Californians looking for a cheaper way to live life after profiting off the capitalism ironically provided by these two copper giants. Suck it Troy.

Many coaches bemoan transfer situation in college football. Common sentiment is "sticking it out is better for development of young men." McCutcheon caught 18 passes TOTAL between 2017-2019 at MSU. He waited his turn, blew up in 2021, is catching TDs in the NFL. Pretty cool.

Kasey Morley continues to be an inspiration!! The @shrinershosp success story scored his first basket tonight. He’s been a patient ambassador for the @mtshrinegame and is an example of determination and pride for all of us in Anaconda. Way to go buddy!! #mtscores

Was talking about the level of play in the Frontier last night. Incredible athletes on every team. Tell me this isn’t one of the best finishes off an oop you’ve ever seen? From a guard? Why people don’t pack gyms to watch these games is shocking.

And if that same Griz fan has his professional team pick Troy in what I believe will be in the late second or third round, he will switch gears in a second. Stop the hate of players from your rival team!! This kid from Dillon MT is going to play on Sundays. That’s F’N AWESOME

Had a griz friend of mine ask me what I thought of Troy Andersen... After I told him, he said "You Cats fans are really overhyping this kid.. He probably won't even get picked till the 3rd or 4th round"... Am I crazy for thinking that is REALLY GOOD?!?!

If there’s two people I’d want my sons to grow up and emulate, it’s these two men. @dylanco10 and @hillb32 are the epitome of class. Thanks so much for your time today along with all of the other players and coaches giving back to our kids today.

The nephew of the greatest basketball player in Montana history and son of a damn fine coach in his own right is deemed not fit to coach basketball for a Class B school in his hometown - a school he set records for, and won state titles for. And this wasn’t personal. #mtscores

From Gray Shirt walk-on to junior starter on one of the best defensive units in the country, @hillb32 gets the start at linebacker in Week 1 as a junior. Couldn’t be prouder of the young man and competitor you’ve become!

@mchooyah Reminds me of a drunk college chick arguing with the bartender than her friend is indeed 21, they personally know the owner and can get them fired if they don’t get served.

Media, for the love of the best rivalry in the state, please stop referring to the #CatGriz as the Brawl of the Wild. Who cares if that’s the narrative provided, It’s horrible marketing. You sound stupid. The name is stupid.
