Seeing Minnesota State in the #FrozenFour and on ESPN two straight years is so huge for the university. A D2 school, making it to the National stage for D1 Hockey 2 straight years and beating teams like Notre Dame. So proud to be a Maverick. #MavFam

𝓞𝓾𝓻 𝓖𝓾𝔂. We're excited to announce that we've extended Coach Strand's contract through the 2032-33 season! msumavericks.com/news/2026/5/26…

Good morning We FOIA'd all the public school operating budgets for men's hockey, and put them in a chart that you can read for free: extrapointsmb.com/p/finally-here…

@bbq_kc Thrilled to be home. Long time coming but it’ll be good

@RainsJ7 Did the same move about 8 years ago. Enjoyed my time in LV but like living in KC much more.

Great to be a resident of Kansas City again. Loved Las Vegas, but nothing like KC.

@h8rproof82 Agreed, not like many other reinforcements are coming though. Thought the bullpen was gonna be some positive not a negative

I wouldn’t count on Estevez back. It’s been 2 months and he’s not even on a rehab assignment and it’s his age highly doubt he’s bouncing back quick.

@h8rproof82 We’ll see when Estevez is back if he is back to his 25 form or not but what a disappointment this bullpen has been

I agree. I think it’s time to give it to someone else and slide him back down to 7th or 8th inning

@h8rproof82 I’m good on erceg in the closer role for a bit. He doesn’t have it this year. Let someone, anyone else take over the 9th for now

This team just can’t get out of its own way. Bobby hits a huge HR bottom 8 for all the vibes and Erceg Gags it off and gives up 2 Top 9. Just can’t gain any traction.

@Vikeologist @vikesroyal @Mulevikes I don’t believe so, not for a while I don’t think

@RainsJ7 @vikesroyal @Mulevikes Oh yes definitely. Is Boomtown still open?

ISO nice local bar and grill in Mankato to have dinner tonight. All good if none of my followers live in Mankato!

@vikesroyal Excited to be home!

@RainsJ7 Welcome back!!!

@Vikeologist @vikesroyal @Mulevikes I think it is still open, however, definitely recommend tav over Buffalo wild wings at least somewhat local and a fresh experience!

@vikesroyal @Mulevikes @RainsJ7 I also used to go to Buffalo Wild Wings down town but not sure if that’s still open or not.

History for our Captain!

@vikesroyal @Mulevikes Highly recommend Mavericks, Pub 500 or Rounders if you are downtown. Tav on the Ave is also good, my personal favorite is Weggy’s, right off campus

@Mulevikes @RainsJ7 👆

Lawrence Regional? LAWRENCE REGIONAL! #RockChalk

@GT500_Sota Cambria, UNRL, Taylor Corp, or Snell all make the most sense. I wouldnot mind a larger, brand name if it means we see a good $ investment

Alright #MavFam who are some top potential jersey patch sponsors? Btw lots of untapped sponsor potential on the northeast side of town……just sayin. 🤘😈🤘😈.

Breaking: Conor McGregor will face Max Holloway in the main event at UFC 329 in Las Vegas, @DanaWhite announced on social media. This bout will be fought at 170 lbs.

Victor Wembenyama flop compilation:

Kansas clinches a share of the Big 12 title. Jayhawks are conference champions for the first time since 1949. #FitzMagic

It is honestly impressively pathetic how soft and fragile every men’s Minnesota sports team has been for 35 years… The losing, underachieving and choking are generational. Baked into DNA. Who wants to rise up and break the pattern? Nobody so far.

Brett Kulak wins it after Kaprizov can't connect with Boldy on a 2-on-1. Wild blow 3-goal lead to lose a playoff game for first time ever and their season ends in humiliating fashion
