Congratulations to our local winners at the Whoop Up Rodeo in Conrad. John Salois of East Glacier won the bareback with a 74 point ride, Beau Michael of Browning scored 79 to win the saddle bronc, Badger Black of Cut Bank rode a bull for 70 points and first place, and the team of Nolan Conway and Dustin Bird had the fastest team roping time...

In sports trivia this morning, Mark mentioned Lou Gehrig beginning his consecutive games streak (actually started when he pinch hit in the eighth inning, June 1, 1925), playing first base for Wally Pipp. The answer to today's sports trivia question was the batting helmet was used for the first time on this day in 1938...

I finally found a good source of information on the annular eclipse that can be seen in the western United States this evening. It won't be a total eclipse here in Montana, but we get a pretty good bite out of the sun between 6:30 and 8:30. Check out this website, be sure to use the animated eclipse map of Montana, and remember, don't look directly at the sun (or what's left of it during the eclip

The Big Sky State Games has selected Choteau's Whitney Sherrard as one of five finalists to sing the national anthem at this summer's Big Sky State Games opening ceremonies. They are asking the people of Montana to decide which of the finalists will perform July 20...

Don't get me started on team mascots. I won't get anything else done for the rest of the day. As his sports trivia question today, Mark asked what was the first professional sports team to have an insect as a mascot or team nickname. Randy Gramm (of course) jumped right in and answered "Charlotte Hornets", which was a good answer, but made my spidey sense tingle...

Conrad softball coach Sandy Syverson told me that the Stillwater softball team from the Columbus area has officially forfeited its conference makeup game with Shelby for tonight. The two teams were tied at 5-1 going into that game, so the forfeit pushed the Coyotes to their first division softball title, and the number one seed for this week's Eastern Division tournament in Cut Bank...

The final week of the high school softball regular season will be a busy one for our local teams, and could serve as a preview for next week's divisional tournament in Cut Bank. The Stillwater team from Columbus is the only Eastern team not playing in Lewistown Friday and Saturday...

A conversation on ESPN Radio's Mike and Mike in the Morning renewed a point I debated myself years ago: Should Batman be considered a super hero? Look at the classic super heros. Superman could fly, had super strength and speed, x-ray vision, etc...

My house is back there, somewhere... As you can see, I have two massive pine trees in my front yard, so I appreciated the information Toole County Extension Agent Alice Burchak shared on her Extension Minute in the noon hour Monday. I had a couple small brown spots show up on the south side of my trees last winter, and now I know why...

On KSEN's Monday Shelby Chamber report, Audie Bancroft mentioned she has these new "I 'heart' Shelby stickers for sale. These clings, designed by Barbie Alvestad's new graphics business, are just $5, and are great for showing your support of your favorite town, to send to former Shelby-ites (...

Today is the Great American Grump-Out, a fun little tongue-in-cheek "holiday", trying to inspire us to be just a little less grumpy, if just today. If you need a little inspiration, or guidance, check out this website. By the way, I want the picture of the green bird-monster on their website to be my new "on-air" picture...

The Montana Senior Olympics is coming to Great Falls again this year. The games are open to individuals 50 years of age and over, and you don't have to run forty miles per hour or powerlift a car to be good enough to participate!
