I agree! Tessman is the better option of the two. I know some cat fans are reluctant to hire him with his ties to UM, but honestly the guy from California (Schnier) would be a disaster for you guys. Especially since he's a disciple of PERC. When do they plan to make a hire by?

Recruiting is now far more multidimensional. I like how UM is approaching it.
Tessman was asked some questions about his ties to UM. I guess he answered them pretty thoroughly. You are right, personally I think the Cali guy would be a bad choice. Tessman appears to be a good fit. I don't know when they plan to announce the hire. I would hope it is soon.
I guess I fail to see why his ties to UM matter at all, or what he would even have to answer about them.
I agree with you. If anything, I think it is a plus, as he understands the Montana university landscape.

Not to mention their offense…..isn’t really built to showcase a QB that isn’t primarily a runner with a few throwing opportunities here and there.
I think the honest answer is that they would be worried that he gains more experience and knowledge there, and then whenever Bodner leaves, he might be a risk to jump ship and come back to where his heart truly lies. That's literally the only reason I can think of.

Tessman = Kessman = Trouble ahead, trouble behind?
I can see it clearly.
“Candidate Tessman, if awarded the Presidency, would you require us to stop playing Mony, Mony, chanting about eating shit, hating Bobby and using the term Gris?”
“Candidate Tessman, will your have your own locker in the women’s basketball locker room and dance in postgame locker room victory celebrations?”
“Candidate Tessman, is there any truth to what many msu fans and alum believe, that you were hand picked by Clay Christians to lead msu, so he could oversee a meltdown in Bozeman which allows UM to regain the enrollment status it had prior to the Engstrom debacle?”
“Candidate Tessman, do you have a reliable source of brooms for sweeping issues under rugs, or will outgoing President Crudzado be leaving her stockpile with you?”
What they really should be asking (if they weren’t so fixated on his ties to UM) is:
“Candidate Tessman, looking at your CV, you appear to be steadfast in your pursuit of better jobs and lofty titles in the world of academia. Can you provide us with any reassurances that you won’t be looking for your next “better job” the moment you move into the Presidents office?”
Tessman once sent an email to the DHC mailing list that he had the best job on campus and was going to lead the DHC to new heights, then resigned shortly thereafter to work for Clay Christian and the MUS. Looks like the ink on his Presidents contract at NMU is less than 2 years old.
Just keep that Nissan Murano off those snowy passes and he'll be fine!

You don't know how bad they have it with the current Pres. This is the woman who won't allow any maroon on campus. Anywhere. She made American Indian hall paint over their red walls because they were too close to maroon. She wanted the emergency lane curbs painted a different color than the red they used because it was too close to Maroon. It goes against federal fire code. Can't change that. No Maroon furniture, no maroon anything. The Griz live in their heads from the top down.
This is sheer poetry.I can see it clearly.

And away from Starbucks. Don't forget the Starbucks.
I mean, I get it. We're the Flagship. We have the better campus, the better academics, the better athletic program, the better city. But c'mon, at some point you just gotta get over it and get on with your second rate lives, right?
Also, did you change your name??

Your football team has been decimated. Sure, your backups are all better than Mellott. Edit: let's see a list of Cat Portal signings. I haven't been following for a month or two.

Better athletic program? The Cats have now won the Brawl of the Wild All Sports trophy 9 years in a row.
In large part because you guys take 6 points every year in Cross Country and Track. Even last year when we took the 2 points in Football, 3 out of 4 in Basketball, and 2 points in Tennis, we still lost 10-7 just because it’s hard to pull out of that hole from the Track. If only you guys had a Soccer team so we could even the score out a little bit.

I sure don't judge the athletic programs by this All Sports Trophy. In fact, I pay about zero attention to it.
That is your choice. However, it is what it is and the last decade it has been the Bobcats.
