Influential Griz from Butte

[MontanaFootballHistory]

Chad Lembke deserves a nod. All heart beast! while his measurable didn't lead to any after college opportunities, his play on the field was awesome. Came in with Todd Erickson and Lance Allen.

Yes! Not sure how Chad and Lance slipped my mind.

Access and peruse The Buttecast with Bill Foley and check with him. He has interviewed several of the individuals mentioned, is a grad of UM J-school, former sports writer, and from Butte America.

Brian Toone and Randy Riley get my vote.

I concur…Just ask Chad Pennington.

I would have been there too, but I was at Stocks telling girls that I was the fourth string kicker for the GRIZ…Glad to see ya on here “FirmGRIZ”

Brian Toone and Randy Riley get my vote.

Please oh please tell me this is a real person and not a joke name. Thinking this is real makes it so much more funnier to me.

If you hear a nickname, or a real name for that matter, from Butte…it’s a 99.9% chance it’s legit!

I'm compiling information for a project I'm working on. The project will center around the influence and mark players/coaches from Butte have made on the history of Bobcat and Griz football. I have a list started, but I would like input from others. Please reply in the thread and help me come up with a comprehensive list. Todd Erickson, Colt Anderson, Tom Davis, George Dahlberg, Eso Naranche, Bob O'Billovich, Milt Popovich, off the top of my head.

Let’s not forget Padraig McGuillicutty, Meaderville (Butte). He developed the first insulated jock strap…

Jay Fagan was a beast of an O-lineman for the Griz (1985-90) and a proud Butte Bulldog, signed a free agent contract with the Washington Redskins, if I'm allowed to say that.
