montana football

Hi,

Could you tell me if Montana have a football team or college football team and what their name is?

Thanks.

Appreciate it.

The Montana Grizzlies and the Montana State Bobcats are both Division IAA college teams in the NCAA. As for professional ball, there is no NFL team in Montana and, as far as I know, no AFL team either.

Frank,

Thanks so much. I appreciated that.

You wouldn't also by any chance know if Arkansas has any NCAA or NFL teams, would you

Thanks for your help, Frank.

The University of Arkansas has the Razorbacks, a team with a great history in college football. There are no pro teams that I know of in Arkansas. Little Rock is probably the most populated city, and I doubt that it could support a pro team. Arkansas is surrounded by pro teams in other states, though. The state's loyalties are probably divided by the Dallas Cowboys, the Tennessee Titans, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Saint Louis Rams. They may also have a following for the New Orleans Saints.

A "razorback" is a nickname for a wild boar, I think. At least, that's what the mascot looks like.

The Razorbacks would definitely make for some good movie writing.

There is a town in Montana that changed its name for one year to "Joe" in honor of Joe Montana, the greatest quarterback that ever played the game.

There may not be football in Montana, but there was a Montana in football.

Razorbacks it is.

Thanks Frank. Thanks Auggie. I appreciate your help.

Don't know if this will help, but it might be an interesting read. If you're trying to embed your story within a true-to-life timeline, it includes a few names and events you could drop into your script. It also explains how the Razorbacks got their name:
