About

Bobby Ball is a Montana Grizzlies football column. Two posts a week through the season, plus whatever else I feel like running.

Sunday is the reaction piece. It goes out after the game, while everyone is still arguing about what they saw. Friday is the opponent scouting report: what they run, who to watch, where they can be attacked, and how they intend to attack Montana.

The premise is that Griz fans can handle real analysis. Formations get named. Tendencies get charted. The computer ratings get treated as evidence rather than decoration. There are also jokes, because a column that is only numbers is homework and a column that is only jokes is a message board.

Standing features: That Guy Rocked, celebrating a past player history lost. Most Unhinged eGriz Comment of the Week. Rent-Free Bobcat of the Week. Restore the Six, a new argument every week for why the vacated 2011 games should come back. Other bits turn up in season when they earn their way in, and the off-season gets posts whenever I have something worth saying. It's my column.

You will not find game recaps here. We were all there.

Watt Else is where everything that is not Griz football goes. It has its own list, so subscribing to one does not sign you up for the other.
