Saturday, March 9, 2013...a date that will live in the minds of Missoula sports fans for a long, long time, as three teams brought home titles; The Hellgate boys, The Sentinel girls, and the University of Montana Grizzlies.
One significant event in the year since sexual assaults in Missoula became national news, was the firings of University of Montana football coach Robin Pflugrad and athletic director Jim O'Day.
National signing day for college football is Wednesday, February 6th, and many sports pundits are saying the Montana Grizzlies will have a very good recruiting class.
The trial of suspended Grizzly quarterback Jordan Johnson will begin February 8th with jury selection, but it is where selection will take place and how many potential jurors will be in the pool that is unusual.
The Montana Grizzlies won an overtime thriller over San Diego Saturday night in Missoula, 67 to 66, while the Lady Griz beat UNLV in Las Vegas on Saturday, also in OT, 69 to 65.
