Montana Grizzlies start fall practice
"Fall practice" doesn't quite have the same ring as "pitchers and catchers report," but to most people living in Montana, the former is a bit more popular.
The Griz football team opens practice today at the Dornblazer Fields with freshmen and transfers taking part.
Here's a look at the upcoming schedule from the Great Falls Tribune.

Here's a look at the upcoming schedule from the Great Falls Tribune.
Practices are held at UM's South Campus Field, located by the Dornblaser track and field complex,from Aug. 8-22. The Grizzlies will hold single practice sessions from Aug. 8-12, and they begin two-a-days (every other day) from Monday, Aug. 13 to Friday, Aug. 24.Unlike when "pitchers and catchers report," fall practice means football season is very close. It's a month, less than a month really. I mean you subtract showers and meals, it's like twenty minutes.
Two scrimmages are slated for fall camp and will be held in Washington-Grizzly Stadium. The first scrimmage is Saturday, Aug. 18 at approximately 10 a.m, with the final scrimmage set for Thursday, Aug. 23 at around 9:15 a.m.
Also on tap for Aug. 23 is the 12th annual Great Griz Encounter, where players and coaches are introduced and the players sign Griz football posters. The Great Griz Encounter is held in conjunction with the Missoula Downtown Association's weekly "Downtown Tonight" event in Caras Park.
