Eighth consecutive year with a Gopher drafted. Minnesota has had a player selected in 12 of the last 13 drafts

A few more mock drafts including Eastern ahead of tonight. Pro Football Sports Network - 7-Round 2026 NFL Mock Draft: Contender Trades Up for Carnell Tate (5th Round pick by Tampa Bay Buccaneers) Akron Beacon Journal - Final Cleveland Browns 7-round 2026 NFL mock draft as draft day arrives (7th...

Great amount of experience, consistent defensive contributor, athletic, good size. Not saying he’s going to get a roster or practice squad spot, but should get signed and receive an opportunity.

Some articles and projections on Eastern CBS Sports - 2026 NFL seven-round mock draft: Steelers, Jets, Cardinals among teams targeting QBs as 11 come off the board (7th Round pick by Atlanta Falcons) A to Z Sports - Vikings Final 7-Round Predictive NFL Mock Draft: Multiple trades net Minnesota...

Draft is tomorrow and plenty of mocks have been rolling out so let's go. Below is some background on this year's class and previous Gophers in the draft. Gophers finished 2025 at 8-5, won Rate Bowl - Players included in 2026 Mock Drafts: DL Deven Eastern, 2025 B1G Honorable Mention, Senior...

Thompson and others were really the start of what’s been a remarkable run with defensive backs here. That era had him, Derrick Wells, Marcus Jones, Jalen Myrick, Brian Boddy-Calhoun and Eric Murray. Since then we’ve had Terell Smith, Chris Williamson, Antoine Winfield Jr., Coney Durr, Jordan...

Guess I'm rooting for Denver tomorrow.

A few that I have good memories of are Dave Pasch, Mike Patrick and Jason Benetti during the 2010s: Dave Pasch announced Vs. Nebraska in 2013 and 2014. Mike Patrick announced the Little Brown Jug game in 2014. Jason Benetti announced the Axe game in 2018. For national broadcasts, I always...

Just caught up on SportsCenter. Wisconsin and North Dakota both in the Frozen Four. Puke.

Yeah I think those of us who aren't quite excited about this pick will happily eat crow if they raise that NCAA trophy.

Seconded.

On the second question, it may just be the changing landscape of college sports. In basketball, Bryan Hodgson turned down the job at Syracuse for the head coach role at Providence. On ESPN Radio yesterday they were discussing how appealing North Carolina is as a head coaching destination if they...

Man, both recent hires seem so uninspired. I guess it's a bit tougher to find a good pool of coaches with extensive resumes compared to, say, football or basketball. College hockey doesn't have the amount of Group of 5 or Mid Major programs with more up and coming coaches to snag. There are...

I've seen a few names included here so figured I'd post the experience of those shared. Nate Leaman, 418-301-102, 2 Conference Titles, 8 NCAA Tournaments, 2 Frozen Fours, 1 NCAA Title - 22 Seasons, Union and Providence Steve Rollick, 221-177-45, 1 Conference Title, 5 NCAA Tournaments, 1 Frozen...

I'm going to say D. It feels like an uninspired hire. Tapping the assistant of the guy you just parted ways from doesn't make really make sense for wanting to move in a better direction. There's also not many shining examples of success on his resume or background you can point to to make it...

To be fair to Gopher Women Hockey, they won the pre-NCAA, AWCHA national championship in 2000 as well.

Not entirely familiar with the hire but I'm always a bit weary of hiring an assistant of the coach you just got rid of. Sometimes it can work out, Dabo Swinney at Clemson is a good example. This doesn't have the makings of a landmark hire. Hope it pans out.

CRAZY game between Kentucky and Santa Clara.

Updating this, Minnesota Duluth fell to Oklahoma Baptist in the Sweet 16 last night, 80-76. The last Minnesota team to make the Elite Eight was Minnesota State-Mankato, winning the title in 2024. Since 2010, Minnesota teams to make the DII Elite Eight are: 2010, St. Cloud State 2011, Minnesota...
