The Petrino Brothers

[ordigger]

Nice article about Paul and Bobby....lots of shout outs for Montana, and other Big Sky schools. I would guess that Idaho will list Montana & Idaho State as its rivalries (despite being close to Eastern Washington). Another tough game for the Grizzlies every year, under our current scheduling format.

And with Montana and other regional rivals back on the schedule, the casual fan has incentive to make the journey. "Honestly, I couldn't even tell you where Troy State is," says Schlereth, who supports the move back to the Big Sky. "Montana, Montana State, Idaho State, those are big to me." Two years ago, the Vandals basketball team won a stirring double-overtime game against the Grizzlies. On the way out, Spear was accosted by a man in a Montana jacket. "This is why you need to be in our league," he told Spear. "You see how fun this was?"

If Petrino stays, I would predict the Vandals a top team in the BSC.

If the Petrinos were not Montana guys I wouldn't be a fan. After what Bobby did to Atlanta, then doing what he did at Arkansas I don't know. I have a Montana boy bias though so i'll give him a pass, and taking nothing away from him as a coach. He is a GREAT coach! I don't think Idaho competes for the BSC as soon as everyone thinks, they barely beat the Cats this year with a bigger roster. I see them as a middle of the pack team.

Side note, Paul's daughter is a Fr for Montana's softball team after winning her league MVP last year. She coul end up starting in LF at some point this year.
