I was surfing the web the other morning and was pleasantly surprised when I realized that the Griz Basketball team was going to be playing Santa Clara later that night. As luck would have it Toni had the night off so we loaded up the kids when I got home from work and headed down to the game.
On our way in I ran into a buddy of mine from grad school that used to play basketball for the Griz. He was actually doing color commentary for the radio broadcast back in Montana. He had to hurry into the arena and I had to chase down Nolan so we only had a chance to talk for a few seconds, but it was still nice to see a familiar face. Too bad he didn’t have any eligibility left though because UM could have used him.
Nolan spent the morning running around the living room in his Griz gear while I was trying to watch a football game. He ended up being more entertaining so I grabbed the video camera and thought I’d share…
It’s only been 10 days, but December has been pretty eventful. Last Wednesday I had the opportunity to go the Golden State Warriors game with buddy of mine. He won a two-seat, 10-game pack as part of a radio contest for this season was nice enough to invite me to go with him.
The Warriors were playing the Milwaukee Bucks, which was cool because their head coach is a Montana native. For anyone that doesn’t know he’s the leading scorer in UM history. He also coached the Griz Basketball team for two years winning the Big Sky both years and upsetting Nevada in the first round of the tournament in 2006 (the 12-5 upset that year).
