Re: Cinematic recap of the 124th Brawl of the Wild
He always has a thread on here with posts that have links to anything discussing Cat games. Rider is on every game week, Ty about every other week depending on his schedule, he has had Leo Davis. The other ones within brother usually cover both teams and Tootell it just depends on what they are discussing. Just look for the ones on here.JoeCatsJoe wrote: ↑Tue Dec 02, 2025 4:29 pmI wasn’t commenting on the video. More on some of the post-Brawl guests.

Re: Cinematic recap of the 124th Brawl of the Wild
Love JP too! Colter does an excellent job being a neutral and bringing in people on both sides, I’ve just been annoyed by the narrative coming from people interviewed most recently about the results of the Brawl. Perhaps my post was poorly worded and seemed directed at Skyline, when I actually just was frustrated by a narrative going around. Another Gris guy who is incredibly neutral and getting leaps and bounds better at media is Akem. Love when him and Colter get together on a pod.BelligerentBobcat wrote: ↑Tue Dec 02, 2025 7:50 pmI love Mikey, but I do wish there was somebody with a little more pep and humor on there for us.

Re: Cinematic recap of the 124th Brawl of the Wild
Always remember too that I'm only one man and I spend about 70 hours a week on all of this, and 108 (I tracked it this year) when it's rivalry weekJoeCatsJoe wrote: ↑Tue Dec 02, 2025 10:25 pmLove JP too!

But honestly, the content on Nuanez Now (which I'm guessing you listened to Monday's shows with Tootell and Marty) is made for a statewide audience but Monday's shows have a Griz lean mostly because Marty is a Griz Hall of Famer and that's the day he can come in. The rest of the week is formulaic and we try to balance it as much as possible while still catering to our biggest portion of the audience, which around Western Montana on the terrestrial radio.
Tuesdays is Prep Tuesdays for the first hour, the first look at opponents for Cats & Griz, then our Griz Star of the Week after Montana gets done with practice. Wednesday is Sam Herder, the Montana State Minute with a Bobcat player, Wing it Wednesday talking baseball/hockey depending on the season, the ESPN Roundtable which can go either way in terms of Cats, Griz or preps, then we have either a Griz soccer or Griz football sponsored interview.
Thursdays, we feature the opposing coaches that play the Cats & Griz, a high school coach from around Montana, Brooks Nuanez on the NFL Griz hockey with a giveaway and typically a Montana State assistant coach or sound from Vigen. Fridays, Rajiem Seabrook and I talk about Montana news from every sport all over the state, play "smart or dumb" with NFL story lines, feature our "prep hot ticket" with the best high school games coming up that weekend, then Carolyn the Chick who doesn't know sports does her comedy bit and we have the Garden City Spotlight with a high school football coach from Missoula going into Friday night's games.
Nuanez Now does have slightly more Griz content than Bobcat content because while we have a pretty sizeable statewide audience on TV, the stream and the podcast (they say about 17,000 per show), we also have a radio audience of more than 20,000 a day that is on in Western Montana.
In terms of Skyline -
I get a coach and player from the teams that Montana State and Montana play each week. We also get two Griz players, two Bobcat players, and a Bobcat assistant coach for content.
For our analysts, I want Tootell, Brooks, Sammy and Stuber to all be neutral, even if they have expertise leaning one way or the other. Brooks is the best person about talking about the Bobcats that exists in Montana media today.
We have Bobcat-leaning contributors in Mike Rider, Ty Gregorak, JP Flynn, Leo Davis and occasionally Keaton Gillogly.
We have Griz-leaning contributors in Jordan Tripp and Andrew Schmidt and most of the rest I keep on the radio instead of on Skyline like Marty etc
The No. 1 reason that the Griz guys are more consistent is they mostly work directly in media. Brooks works with me now at Missoula Broadcasting in addition to Skyline. Sammy does fundraising for high school sports teams and works as much as anyone on Skyline stuff, which I'm so proud of him for. Jordan does construction investment but focuses heavily on broadcasting. Marty is retired. And Tootell runs a trucking company but when he's home and not driving, he's very available. He also lives one block from the station so he's basically on call haha.
Rider has 3 jobs and is the busiest person I've ever met haha. Gregorak has two kids playing five different sports and is a regional manager for a big-time surgical equipment company and he's pretty much tied with Rider for most busy. JP has a blended family with teenage kids, works full-time as an engineer and coaches high school sports. Leo is the AD for a tribal school. And Keaton is on an airplane every two days during cross over season. They are harder to track down!
Point being, we are doing the best we can! I love the feedback. I PROMISE I try my hardest to give you guys the most content possible from the most excellent team of bright sports minds I can think of assembling. We aren't perfect and we never will be. But we appreciate you reading, listening, watching, discussing and following along!

@Colter_Nuanez Does Bozeman have an ESPN radio affiliate that you could get broadcast on? I know Billings does. Have you tried jumping on their schedule(s)?
Eastwood, did not make it. Ball out! Recovered, by Montana State!! The Bobcats hold!!! The Bobcats hold!!!

Thursdays, we feature the opposing coaches that play the Cats & Griz, a high school coach from around Montana, Brooks Nuanez on the NFL Griz hockey with a giveaway and typically a Montana State assistant coach or sound from Vigen. Fridays, Rajiem Seabrook and I talk about Montana news from every sport all over the state, play "smart or dumb" with NFL story lines, feature our "prep hot ticket" with the best high school games coming up that weekend, then Carolyn the Chick who doesn't know sports does her comedy bit and we have the Garden City Spotlight with a high school football coach from Missoula going into Friday night's games.
Nuanez Now does have slightly more Griz content than Bobcat content because while we have a pretty sizeable statewide audience on TV, the stream and the podcast (they say about 17,000 per show), we also have a radio audience of more than 20,000 a day that is on in Western Montana.
In terms of Skyline -
I get a coach and player from the teams that Montana State and Montana play each week. We also get two Griz players, two Bobcat players, and a Bobcat assistant coach for content.
For our analysts, I want Tootell, Brooks, Sammy and Stuber to all be neutral, even if they have expertise leaning one way or the other. Brooks is the best person about talking about the Bobcats that exists in Montana media today.
We have Bobcat-leaning contributors in Mike Rider, Ty Gregorak, JP Flynn, Leo Davis and occasionally Keaton Gillogly.
We have Griz-leaning contributors in Jordan Tripp and Andrew Schmidt and most of the rest I keep on the radio instead of on Skyline like Marty etc![]()
The No. 1 reason that the Griz guys are more consistent is they mostly work directly in media. Brooks works with me now at Missoula Broadcasting in addition to Skyline. Sammy does fundraising for high school sports teams and works as much as anyone on Skyline stuff, which I'm so proud of him for. Jordan does construction investment but focuses heavily on broadcasting. Marty is retired. And Tootell runs a trucking company but when he's home and not driving, he's very available. He also lives one block from the station so he's basically on call haha.
Rider has 3 jobs and is the busiest person I've ever met haha. Gregorak has two kids playing five different sports and is a regional manager for a big-time surgical equipment company and he's pretty much tied with Rider for most busy. JP has a blended family with teenage kids, works full-time as an engineer and coaches high school sports. Leo is the AD for a tribal school. And Keaton is on an airplane every two days during cross over season. They are harder to track down!
Point being, we are doing the best we can! I love the feedback. I PROMISE I try my hardest to give you guys the most content possible from the most excellent team of bright sports minds I can think of assembling. We aren't perfect and we never will be. But we appreciate you reading, listening, watching, discussing and following along!

Re: Cinematic recap of the 124th Brawl of the Wild
It bugs the crap out of me when people on here gripe about Colter's content having guests they don't like. If you don't want to listen to Griz-heavy content just switch off the damn podcast or radio and go about your day, no need to come online to complain about it. He makes plenty of Bobcat content as well and is under zero obligation to ensure each school gets exactly equal time every week.

Re: Cinematic recap of the 124th Brawl of the Wild
That's why I said I worded my post poorly. I should have pushed against some of the narratives and left it at that. I consume every bit of content I can, I cannot be more grateful for Colter and his coverage.MSU01 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 03, 2025 9:52 amIt bugs the crap out of me when people on here gripe about Colter's content having guests they don't like.

Re: Cinematic recap of the 124th Brawl of the Wild
I wasn't responding to you specifically, it has more been a general trend I've noticed over the years especially after Colter relocated from Bozeman back to Missoula for very understandable reasons.JoeCatsJoe wrote: ↑Wed Dec 03, 2025 10:01 amThat's why I said I worded my post poorly.

Re: Cinematic recap of the 124th Brawl of the Wild
Pretty sure the team account posted both a social media recap and then a cinematic recap as well. “That thing” that they posted after the game was sweet and it’s possible to cater to both the old heads like you from time to time with long form recaps but the younger crowd/players/recruits have loved those short form videos all season.
Just my 2 cents but MSU has been way ahead of the FCS and most G5 schools with the content they produce.

Re: Cinematic recap of the 124th Brawl of the Wild
I hardly ever feel like I'm defending myself or Skyline, I just like having discussions with you all! I know we put ourselves in the line of fire by being on the boards all the time but it's a decision I made years ago because I think it's important for our business and our brand. And I want myself and all of us to seem accessible and like your buddies you're BSing with at the tailgates.
I also enjoy describing what we do. It helps me hone it in and make it great. And it's great to have transparency with your audience, as it also helps with you guys knowing what's coming up and what we produce so you can be an engaged audience!
