I'm from Montana, but I'm not usually a Griz fan (Bobcats anyday), but I played tennis with Mariani for 3 years and he had a heck of a game for the Grizzlies. Definately a difference maker for the Griz. Next year when the Sioux play the Griz hopefully I'll be able to get to that game and cheer for the Sioux...and Mariani will have graduated.
