On the Trail: Back at Home (after some issues)

Mustangs fans, we made it back to Billings. After 5 days of On the Trail with the Mustangs, their 14 game road trip came to a halt after a big win over the Voyagers. Then it was time for the long, late bus ride back to Billings. I know that the players were excited to get back (mostly to play in front of a home crowd, but I understand that some players' girlfriends are coming to Billings so that adds to their excitement!) If you haven't checked out the coverage from this final day (On the Trail: Mustangs ready for Billings home games), make sure and look it up on the website. The Mustangs were very relaxed as I interviewed them today and their answers were pretty amusing. I think they were pumped up to beat Great Falls and enter their Billings homestand on a high note.

Tomorrow night's game is going to be awesome so make sure you come and check it out. I'll be out there with a camera so come up and say hello! I just might get you on camera and throw you on the news. Also don't forget to send all of the pictures you take of yourself, friends, and family to www.ktvq.com so we can put them on our Dehler Park website. Go crazy with those cameras people. It's your chance for your work to be seen by us. I'm excited to see what kind of pictures you guys come up with so make sure and send them all to us.

Tonight's return home got interesting for Kyle and I. About the time we reached Ryegate, maybe a little passed there, we ran into a little trouble. We were playing a music trivia game where we had to come up with Hit songs from the 90's (such as The Boy is Mine by Brandy and Monica) DON'T LAUGH IT WAS KEEPING US AWAKE AND ALERT!!! All of a sudden Bambi and his mother darted across the road and I was driving and forced to slam on the brakes. I went into the left lane to avoid hitting the mother and ended up clipping Bambi and tearing off a piece of our Jeep's bumper. Could have been much worse but still what an ending to our roadtrip!

We got back into the station a little before Jennifer and Rob showed up for the morning show. Make sure and check out all of Montana This Morning in about an hour and a half. Also for all of the latest coverage on the Mustangs continue to log onto the website and stay tuned to the 5:30 and 10 news where we will welcome the Mustangs into their new home at Dehler Park. Hope you all liked our coverage from On The Trail with the Mustangs. See you at Dehler Park in about 14 hours!!
