Brooks Nuanez and Colter Nuanez drop the first of an array of Skyline Sports content leading up to Saturday's showdown for the outright Big Sky Conference championship in Missoula as No. 2 Montana hosts No. 3 Montana State in the 124th meeting between archrivals. The Nuanez brothers recap Montana State's 38-17 win over No. 9 UC Davis on Saturday (5:44) and Montana's 63-17 win over Portland State (10:27) before diving into five big questions.12:14 - How much will the momentum of a season play on Saturday? 17:20 - Two of the best quarterbacks in the league in Montana's Keali'i Ah Yat and Montana State's Justin Lamson will each make their first rivalry game starts. What team does that favor? 24:35 -Montana has the top scoring offense in the league (42.2 ppg) and Montana State is the top scoring defense (16.2 ppg). Something has to give...27:50 - Montana State has the most veteran defensive line in the Big Sky and one of the top graded offensive lines in the FCS. But that disparity has been the case for a few years against the Griz and it hasn't mattered. Will it matter on Saturday? 32:31 - Since 2019, the road team has melted as the opposition in hostile territory. Why hasn't it been more competitive the last five rivalry games? 37:53 - Which head coach - Montana's Bobby Hauck with his 7-6 record against the Bobcats but 2-4 since his return or Montana State's Brent Vigen, who is 2-2 against the Griz but 0-2 in Missoula — has more to gain and more to lose from this year's clash? 41:13 - Final thoughts heading into the 124th showdown between the 'Cats and the Griz.

What does it take to win—consistently—for over 500 games?For Coach Mark Kellogg, it's not about the scoreboard. It's about people.From Richardson, Texas, to the bright lights of West Virginia University, Coach Kellogg has built one of the most respected careers in women's basketball, transforming every program he's touched into a contender. His story is one of purpose, passion, and building a culture where toughness meets trust, and winning becomes a byproduct of doing things the right way.Growing up in Richardson, basketball was more than a game—it was a lifestyle. Mark Kellogg spent his childhood running the courts until the streetlights came on, learning competition and teamwork before he ever wore a jersey.He first dreamed of a career in sports broadcasting, even interning at a Dallas radio station before realizing his true calling was coaching. That revelation set him on a journey that would take him across the country—from Montana State to Stephen F. Austin, and now to West Virginia, where he's turning the Mountaineers into one of the toughest teams in the Big 12.Coach Kellogg's philosophy is simple:“Winning is the byproduct of everything else.”He recruits high-character players—athletes who care as much about each other as they do about championships. His teams are known for their defense, their discipline, and their effort on every possession.That identity fits perfectly in West Virginia, a state built on grit, pride, and blue-collar toughness. Under Kellogg, the Mountaineers have become one of the most aggressive defensive teams in the nation, consistently ranking among the top in turnovers forced.The heart of Coach Kellogg's success isn't just on the court—it's at home.His wife Trish, herself a former college basketball player and coach, and their two children share his passion for the game. Basketball isn't just a job for the Kelloggs—it's a family mission.“We talk hoops at dinner, watch games together, and support each other in everything,” he says.It's that sense of unity that mirrors what he builds inside his locker room: a family that works, learns, and wins together.As the Mountaineers prepare for another thrilling season, Coach Kellogg is focused on growth, culture, and competition. With a new roster, a challenging Big 12 schedule, and marquee matchups—like a neutral-site showdown with Duke at The Greenbrier—he's ready to write the next chapter of West Virginia's winning tradition.“Every year is a blank slate. Every team is a new opportunity to create something special.”For recruits, he offers more than a scholarship—he offers a community that will invest in them for life.“This state has no pro sports teams. The people here make you their team. You'll be valued, supported, and developed—on and off the court.”Coach Kellogg's journey is a masterclass in consistency and leadership:Recruit the right people, not just the right playersCulture beats talent when talent doesn't buy inFamily and authenticity matter mostAfter more than 500 wins and decades of success, his impact stretches far beyond the stat sheet—it lives in the players he's developed, the programs he's elevated, and the legacy he continues to build.

Brock and I talk about what we're looking for in this week's highly anticipated matchup between Montana State and UC Davis. The game is on ESPN2 and is UC Davis' 3rd nationally televised game of the season. UC Davis is heavily injured, but a win would shake things up not only in the Big Sky Conference but also in the FCS.
