Gavin McKenna, who never would have been eligible to play college hockey before, and is the projected #1 pick in the 2026 NHL Draft, visited MSU yesterday, and is expected to announce between MSU and PSU soon.

PSU has the higher NIL package.  MSU returns the 2025 Hobey Baker (Hockey Heisman) winner, and Goalie of the Year along with 13 other NHL picks.

Either way, Adam Nightengale has earned every bit of his extension
Or not.  He was in some sort of dispute with Tampa Bay, because he didn't like how they reviewed an injury or something, but they traded him to Edmonton yesterday, so he's going pro.

Not the best week for what was trending towards being the preseason #1

It appears MSU's womens soccer portalling did not go as well this year.  Dropped from preseason #8 to unranked, and lost 3-0 to Notre Dame last night.

Now 3-2-2 on the season, and ND is the only ranked team they've played.

For comparison, last year they lost 1 regular season game total, and they had lost 4 total over the past 2 regular seasons, in reaching back to back Sweet 16s

Just south of Preston, Texas, 1847. Two cow-pokes sitting out on the range as the sun settles over the bluffs. It's been a long, dusty day on a long cattle drive north. Tomorrow, the river crossing.

ND normally fields a pretty good team. Wisconsin is hovering around the top 25, but was bounced after a loss. We'll see if they can scrape their way back up. Playing on the West Coast is a shame for these teams. The travel is brutal, and USC is good. UCLA is no slouch, either.
