On Jan. 15 UM and Montana State both announced they would be opting out of the Big Sky Conference spring football schedule and instead play a two-game schedule still to be announced. They had better be playing each other.

We wish we could say this semester is going to be different (read: better). We wish that when the clock struck midnight on New Year’s Eve, we all would have woken up from a “Groundhog Day”-level nightmare. Because that’s been the commentary all of last year, right? 2020 sucked. It so sucked.…
Christmas was meant to come just a little early for some this past year. Renowned developer CD Projekt Red were about to triumphantly ring in the holiday season with the highly anticipated “Cyberpunk 2077.” But then, it came out. It didn’t work.
What a shit show 2020 has been. Most people feel like they’re running a race on a hamster-wheel, myself included. But there’s one thing 2020 can’t take away from us, and that’s our holiday spirit.
At the beginning of this semester, the Editorial Board published a racial equity action plan moving forward as a newsroom. One of our top goals was to conduct a diversity audit examining the race and gender breakdowns of sources we use in our stories. The results of this source audit are mea…
A question I probably should have considered before I signed on with the Kaimin is how to report on the lack of sports.

It can be hard to mentally prepare yourself to miss something you love, especially when the idea of it vanishing into the ether never crossed your mind. But Halloween, like every other fun thing this year, is a casualty of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Here’s your friendly reminder that if you are voting absentee or by mail this election, you need to mail that bad boy out a week before Election Day. That’s next Tuesday, Oct. 27, for anyone keeping track. And if you are voting in Missoula, you can also vote in person at the election office,…
As I’m sure you know, this November there are two measures on the ballot for marijuana legalization, I-190 and CI-118. I don’t need to tell you that the legalization of recreational marijuana is supported given that current polls show that 3 out of 5 Montanans support it. The legalization is…
