Episode Notes

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.splitzoneduo.com

Every rivalry has a story, and the one between Montana and Montana State is REALLY good. Kevin Van Valkenburg, the former Griz linebacker and ESPN writer and current Fried Egg Golf content director, joins Alex and Richard to talk about what this series means to his home state. How do Griz and Bobcat fans view each other? How does Missoula vs. Bozeman play into this? How did a 16-year Montana win streak change the rivalry for the future? And what’s with the “Brawl of the Wild” nickname, which didn’t always exist?
