Three Days Back Home

Forty years of Washington-Grizzly Stadium, and the guys who played in it came home to celebrate. Practice on Thursday, the Beer & Wine Festival on Friday and Montana vs. Idaho on Saturday.

175+ former Griz. Three days. One brotherhood.

Old teammates found each other again. Guys from every era met for the first time. And one more “Say Who!” echoed through the tunnel.
