Send us a text


A football rivalry that began in 1897 which is the 31st oldest in
NCAA Division 1. This game is historically known as the Cat-Griz
game or Griz-Cat game. The game is advertised as the Brawl of the
Wild with the winner receiving a massive over 300lb. trophy
named, Great Divide Trophy. 


Since 1993 it has been the final game of the regular season for
both teams and lately has had huge implications on conference
championships as well as post season berths. After 2022 this game
has been played 121 times! Montana leads the all-time series
73-42-5. 


The show features four guests, two from each side, talking about
the meaning to them of this rivalry. The show starts with Justin
Green who played fullback for the Griz in 2003 & 2004 and is
now the running backs coach for the University of Montana. 


Next is Bobby Daly who played for the Cats from 2005-2008 and was
a tackling machine. Currently is the asst. head & linebackers
coach for MSU. Shifting back to Grizzly side we hear from Colt
Anderson who was a three time All Big Sky First team Player from
2004-2009. Colt is the asst. special teams coach for the
Cincinnati Bengals. We end with Logan Jones who was a running
