GRIZZLY GAME DAY / Cover Story: Dan Beaudin

Big man on campus Beaudin’s pursuits go far beyond Griz football

By FRITZ NEIGHBOR of the Missoulian

TOM BAUER/Missoulian

Dan Beaudin’s speed and power are summed up by a 61-yard reception to set up the go-ahead touchdown at UC Davis, and a block that took out to defenders during Marc Mariani’s 84-yard touchdown against Cal Poly.

Dan Beaudin is a big, imposing dude, and one imagines it was easy for Griz defensive back Brandon Dwyer to take one look at the 6-foot5 Noxon product and decide “Chief” was a good handle.

But given the aloofness of the “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” character for which Beaudin was named, we submit: That summer day in the Griz weight room, when Dwyer met the freshman-tobe? Probably one of Beaudin’s quieter moments.

“There was no rhyme or reason,” Beaudin insists, five years later. “But it stuck.

Probably half the team doesn’t know my real name.”

It’s a better bet they do, given his ability to catch the ball or lay a block on behalf of Chase Reynolds, Thomas Brooks-Fletcher or – we’re thinking of the Cal Poly game here – Marc Mariani. The fact is, he’s a good teammate who works hard.

“Obviously it’s a lot of fun to be around the group of guys we have,” he said of the Griz, who are 7-0 heading into Saturday’s showdown with Weber State. “There’s a lot of good guys and good leadership on our team. To be around them is a privilege.”

“He’s a team leader in terms of the spiritual aspect of our football team,” Griz coach Bobby Hauck notes. “He’s a great guy to have on our team, not just for his catches or his awesome plays, but for who he is.

“And he’s come a long way from Noxon, Mont., to now.”

That Dan Beaudin is a Griz is pretty remarkable, given that his three brothers all joined the armed forces out of high school.

Then again, if you play football at UM you’d better get used to a regimented lifestyle.

Beaudin has, even if it’s not in the Marines, where his brother Caleb served, or the Air Force (Jeremiah) or Navy (Nate).

“I decided I wanted a different uniform,” said Dan, and he wears it well. Number 87 has eight catches this season for 121 yards; he has 40 catches for 457 yards in his career. He started 11 of the Grizzlies’ 14 games his freshman year and half their 12 games in 2007.

Last year was injury marred; he missed three games.

Now he’s back at full strength, trying to balance married life – he and Reynolds are the only married Griz – with a tough curriculum and game preparation.

“I just finished a 17-page research paper,” he said Wednesday, referring to an upper-division History assignment. “That was miserable.

“This semester has been pretty hard. I’m in 13 credits, and it’s by far the hardest. I come home, eat dinner and do homework.”

Then he gets up the next day and does it again. The high point, apart from seeing his wife Danielle of course, is practice.

“You have everything else that has put stress in your life,” he said. “But you get out on the football field, and all you’re thinking about is the next See BEAUDIN, Page G5

“I didn’t know a single thing about them, to be honest with you,” he said.

“Kind of sad to say. You see all these guys who got raised on it. A lot of it maybe had to do with me kind of being one of the first people in my family who had an opportunity to go to college.”

That fall he saw almost every Griz home game. It didn’t take many trips into Washington-Grizzly Stadium before he was up to speed.

Coming from a 250-pounder, that’s saying something. And Beaudin, part of a talented tight end group along with Rob Overton and Stephen Pfahler, figures to be on to bigger things, one way or another.

“I definitely have the ambition to make it to the next level,” said Beaudin, who had a TD in each of his first three seasons at UM. “The question in my mind, and other people’s, is whether I can remain healthy for an entire season.”

So far, so good. It’s way better than a year ago, when a 45-28 regular-season loss at Weber State was made worse by a broken thumb and a heavy rain.

“Worst conditions I’ve ever played in,” he said. “I was frozen by the end of warmups. That’s no excuse, but it was one of the worst experiences of my life.

And then we had to drive a bus home.”

The football field was supposed to be a refuge, and it usually is – that’s the lone Big Sky loss Beaudin and the other seniors have suffered at UM. That he was hurt dampened the fun.

“I enjoy being on the field,” Beaudin says. “Last year was difficult, and it’s definitely a lot more fun in that sense.

Then you wake up and you’re actually eight weeks into the season.”

The Griz avenged that Weber loss in the playoffs, winning 24-13. Beaudin figures to draw on that when the Wildcats come in again Saturday.

“We all kind of have that same mindset,” he said. “Put an entire game together and play like the Montana Grizzlies play – ferocious, and with speed, and we don’t give up until after the whistle has blown.”

HOW WE SEE THE BIG SKY Season record: Fritz 36-5, Bill 33-8, Nick 37-4, Michael 36-5

By NICK LOCKRIDGE of the Missoulian

Boo. No, I’m not trying to scare you. That would be too (candy) corny for even the readers of this Halloween edition of the picks column. I am, however, booing certain groups and people, starting with myself for picking Weber State this week.

That’s right, I’m picking the purple people eaters to knock off mighty Montana. I know it’s not a popular position to take in Grizzlyville, but I figure one of us prognosticators has to pick against UM once a year, and it might as well be me. This is no trick, though, the Wildcats could treat the Griz to a second straight league loss.

If I’m wrong, and my Halloween disguise fails me, Grizzly fans may give me my own El Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) march down Higgins, pitch forks and PBRs in hand.

Boo No. 2 goes to the MSU Bobcats (hopefully putting me in good graces with Griz fans after Boo No. 1). The Bobcats lost last week at Eastern Washington, carving my two-game lead in the picks standings down to just one.

My final Boo of the week goes to Fritz Neighbor for poking fun of my pre-Halloween mullet. Didn’t you learn anything from the movie Joe Dirt? The bully, aka Kid Rock, gets punked in the end. Enjoy your French Cries, Fritz.

It seems the aforementioned Higgins has been subjected to a little more pressure this season than the Grizzly quarterbacks. Higgins, the reigning league MVP, has thrown 11 interceptions, while UM’s twoheaded QB has thrown just four INTs. Trevyn Smith is one of the best backs to ever set foot in Ogden. He’s also one of the best backs to set foot in Cheney, Bozeman, Pocatello and any other Big Sky Conference town he plays. But in Missoula, there’s Chase Reynolds, who’s coming off his fifth career three-TD day.

The High Flyin’ Hawaiian, a.k.a. Cameron Higgins, has been impressive in his three previous starts against Montana, even though the Weber State quarterback is 0-2 in games at Washington-Grizzly Stadium.

In my experience you go with experience in big games such as this.

WSU is second in the Big Sky in sacks, led by senior Kevin Linehan’s six takedowns. UM totals eight sacks through seven games.

The teams’ top tackling threats are exactly who they should be, the middle linebackers: Taylor Sedillo of Weber and Shawn Lebsock of Montana.

Hard-working Putting Montanans First

A dinged-up Grizzly secondary will have its hands full Saturday. The Wildcats boast cornerback Thyrell Lewis, the reigning Big Sky Conference defensive player of the week.

This game features two of the top three punt returners in the nation.

Mariani brings a ridiculous average (27.4 yards per punt) to the argument, while Tim Toone has the second most return yards (284) in FCS play. Both have returns for TDs too.

As you can see it’s pretty much dead even between these two Big Sky “powers,” but still one thing keeps popping to mind: The Wildcats haven’t won in Missoula since 1987. I was 7 years old that year and it was the first time my mom let me go trick-or-treating by myself ... around the neighborhood that is. This is still the Grizzlies’ ’hood.

A: My recruiting visit when I watched them play in a snowy game. I knew right there. Not a seat missing. If people were filling a stadium in conditions like that I knew people were crazy about Griz football.

Q: What other schools were interested in you?

A: Idaho, Washington and Air Force.

Q: Why did you choose Montana?

A: I chose Montana because when I visited, it reminded me of my high school. It has a winning tradition and a strong brotherhood. All of the guys made

me feel real welcome. It felt like high school.

Q: You also played quarterback in high school. Did anyone look at you as a quarterback?

A: No. The funny thing is most of my highlight film was of me playing quarterback. They wanted to see my athleticism.

Q: Who is the most underappreciated player on the Griz?

A: I don’t think I have an answer for that one.

Q: Who is the hardest hitter in the secondary?

A: Can I say the corners?

Q: You can say whatever you want to say.

A: I’ll say the corners to get our safeties riled up a little.

Q: Do you hear much trash talk out on the field?

A: Yeah. Definitely.

Q: Is there anything you’ve heard that made you laugh because of the sheer stupidity of what was said or something that was genuinely funny?

A: Some of the receivers will jump for a ball when it’s not even thrown their way. Sac State did that. That’s pretty funny. But yeah, there’s a lot of guys out there that will say stuff. We try not to talk back. We’ve just got to take it and beat them on the play.

Q: What is your biggest celebrity encounter?

A: Probably eating dinner with See Lisowski, Page G22

Lisowski

Continued from Page G8

John Stockton. I live with Houston, his son.

Q: What stereotype about Seattle makes you roll your eyes or groan when you hear it directly from people or in the mainstream media?

A: Probably that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a horrible city because it rains all of the time. I love it there.

Q: Do you have any nicknames?

A: I have a couple. White lightning, D-Lo. Q: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking you could be called The Dude because of your name. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s similar to Lebowski and there was a character in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Big Lebowskiâ&#x20AC;? named Donny. Any thoughts on being nicknamed The Dude?

A: Yeah, The Dude is what my high school coaches called me sometimes.

Some people also called me The Donald.

For Donald Trump.

Q: Does anyone ever say to you, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out of your element Donny?â&#x20AC;?

A: Yep (laughs). That was my history teacher every day.

Q: What movie have you seen so often you could quote the most lines?

A: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Remember the Titans.â&#x20AC;?

Q: Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your prediction for the World Series? For the record, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making this prediction before Game 1.

A: I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t watch baseball.

Q: Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your favorite TV show?

A: ESPN or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Family Guy.â&#x20AC;?

Q: What do you like to do in your free time?

A: I like to hang out with family when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in town. When Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not doing that I like to go fishing on the Clark Fork, the Rattlesnake and the Blackfoot. And lastly bowling.

Q: Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your favorite place to grab a bite to eat in Missoula?

A: Probably Red Robin.
