The annual CapitalOne Mascot Open is underway, and our very own Monte is once again in the running for the top mascot in the nation! His moves beat the hell out of any other mascot in the race, so go to CapitalOneBowl.com and give him your vote!

Let’s see if we can give Monte his third win.

My boy Tuff Harris has already gotten his first taste of the NFL a couple weeks into the preseason. What makes this even better, however, is that he signed on as a free agent with my team of choice, the Dolphins, and he’s so far survived the first round of cuts. Best of luck to you, Tuff. I hope you know how much the Griz will miss you here in Missoula…

Update, 9-3-07: Good news and bad news this weekend. Tuff didn’t make the 53-man roster, but the Dolphins gave him a place on the practice squad. Good job fella…I can’t wait to see where this goes. In the meantime, however, check out this pic of Tuff demonstrating his crazy vertical in a preseason game against Tampa Bay.
