Proud Grizzly applauds national champion Eagles

Congratulations, Eastern Washington University.  As a lifelong Montana resident, a staunch fan of the Montana Grizzlies and of the Big Sky Conference, I just want to say to the players and coaches of the Eagles: great job.

Your hard work has again shown just how strong the Big Sky Conference is and the quality of its football programs is second to none.  Your performance brought a big smile to the face of an old Grizzly and should make all football fans in the Big Sky proud.

You are the national champions.
