University of Montana

Could we hears some massive news coming from the two biggest colleges in Montana?

Students are rappelling off the rooftops at the University of Montana in Missoula and Montana Tech in Butte. This is pretty cool to see what the Montana Army National Guard is doing on our college campuses.

Lily Meskers, the University of Montana student athlete and student journalist who broke the big story now getting national attention joined us on the radio Tuesday morning.

One female athlete at The University of Montana, citing Democrat Senator Tester's vote against women's sports, refused the paid endorsement deal. Check out this report by a student journalist and student athlete at UM.

Any time Pearl Jam comes to Montana you know it's going to be a big deal and a great show. By my count, this is the third time that Pearl Jam will have graced the big stage at Washington Grizzly Stadium and their fifth show in their illustrious career. They were at WaGriz in 2018 raising money for Jon Tester's campaign and the poster sparked outrage. Before that it was 1998 when they were touring behind their new CD "Yield" and were featuring their new drummer, Matt Cameron. Pearl Jam played a show at Harry Adams Fieldhouse before it was the Adams Center when they were touring their album "Vitalogy" in 1995 and there was even a show at the University Theater before the band became huge. Part of what made those shows so special is that you never knew what their opening number would be or what songs would make their concert setlist.

This Montana college campus has ranked in the top 50 for most beautiful in the U.S. See a full list of all the campuses that made the list here.

Some very interesting research is being done at The University of Montana when it comes to traumatic brain injury (TBI). The research will be particularly helpful for veterans, but in reality will assist anyone impacted by TBI.

Sunday, June 23 is going to be a Damn Good Time in Missoula. Quite literally. Country superstar Jordan Davis, riding the wave of his recent #1 single "Tuscon Too Late" will be bringing his Damn Good Time Tour to the Adams Event Center on the campus of the University of Montana. It looks as though the tour's title is 100% accurate.

The Bobcats will probably have to make a choice within the next few years.

As usual, Evelyn Pyburn had some interesting info to share from the Big Sky Business Journal. Check out these numbers in her report, "Gen Z Shuns College."
