Bobcat athletics is a business to the coaches, school leadership, and players. It's time the fans treat Bobcat athletics as a business too.

A true gentleman. When they first came to town Roger and his young family, and their beagle, lived just one house up from us on South 12th St. He looked really tall to me, a kid of 11 years. For many years, when he and I were both still going to ‘Cat basketball games in the Brick, he never failed to stop and share a few words with me. Nice guys can finish first. RIP

He looked really tall to me too...and I'm 6'5"!
Got to know Roger a little over the last several years. Really nice man.

Grandfather was good friends with Roger for a long time.

Very sorry to hear of this passing. But he touched a lot of lives. Privileged to have had him in the Bozeman community.


Don't let this distract you from the fact that the griz blew a 22-0 lead.
