  • Espn Montana

    Enjoy the show. Would like to see more of an emphasis on Montana and Montana State football. Does an effective job promoting other sports. Would like to see more FCS media on. FCS coaches and players. Not big on the segment with, I believe, the chick who doesn’t know sports? Doesn’t add anything on air. Might be tremendous off air

  • Disappointed

    Disappointed after listening to Colter on the Griz Fan Podcast. I thought as a newscaster he was doing a pretty good job of being impartial & I understand that that podcast was aimed at Griz fans but he was unprofessional (“ I shouldn’t mock but…”. I listen to all sides in an effort to be fair but that vitriol & bad language was too much.

  • We need someone new please

    This isn’t meant as a slight against Colter as I’m sure he is a decent guy but I just can’t listen his show. It’s painful when he laughs at his own jokes with that “hehuha” which seems to be an involuntary nervous response. He has an elementary at best understanding of sports outside of anything UM. Please, it’s time for a different voice in Missoula. I turn the station off every time his show comes on. Make it a late night show and use the national broadcasts.

  • The best podcast in the world

    These guys are the best for anything related to the Big Sky and Montana sports. Colter is honestly way too talented of a journalist to still be covering Montana sports, but we are lucky to have him.

  • Stay in your lane.

    I listen to these two here and there. Most times I have to turn the channel when they are in the radio etc especially when they talk hoops and about the NBA. The one show they had Jokic coming from Estonia and they weren’t sure about where Doncic came from. Really? If you are going to talk about pro sports or sports outside of your Griz and Missoula bubble then do your homework guys. If not then stay in your lane.
