Everything begins and ends with Bobby Hauck, he invented the game of football.

100% agree with tourist. That book is a must own for any Griz fan.
Wild Bill Kelly, arguably the greatest Griz many fans never heard of. Was a QB in the late 1920's while the Griz were still in the old Pacific Coast Conference, a precursor to the Pac 12.
Heres his Wikipedia page.

If you want a real deep dive into him, heres a 10 page essay about him. My eGriz signature comes from this article.

You have a great opportunity to learn about the past 30 years by just watching old games. There’s a thread with lots of old games on it including the ‘95 Championship.

I didn’t know him when he was playing but met him the summer of 2015 when he was still living in Missoula. He is a good guy and fun to be around.

One my favourites, from a very long time ago, was when I was in the 4th or 5th grade. Montana was playing New Mexico of the old old "Skyline" conference, I'm thinking it was called. In the old Dornblaser Stadium I watched one of the VERY few black players, or students even, at the UofM in those days, by the name of John Lands catch a LONG LONG pass from Norm Kamschor . It went for a Griz touchdown, and the crowd went wild. That was all a long long time ago, so my memory is probably wrong on some of the details. I do remember than John Lands was a two sport starter for the Grizz in Football and basketball.

That's a good one and him high stepping into the end zone is iconic Griz lore. Mine is my last home game I attended before moving to Alabama, the '09 App St game, sitting in the south end zone staring down at Jabin hauling in the go ahead TD in the snow.

It may be the loudest that the stadium has ever been.

Just keep disagreeing with and attacking the posters who have a long history and know alot about Griz football of old and now. That's the way you learn and get ahead in life. Show no respect for those in the know and for elders. Talk big and be a jerk immediately when you join a new message board.Hey just trying to learn a bit more about the history of our team and would love if everybody that’s willing could comment a specific player and a great griz memory of them it would be awesome

you’re about the only person on here that I have that energy with because you treated me a new member with that same level of respect. If you had simply not been a dick to me off the bat, I would not have been a dick to you off the bat. Law of equivalent exchange or whitchmacallot.
