the 2008 seasonUnproven, uncertain and unfamiliar are three words that could be used to describe the 2008 football season at Bemidji State. After gradu-ating over 20 at the conclusion of the 2007 campaign, BSU welcomes back just 31 letter-winners, which includes eight regular starters. The 2008 squad is made up of over 70-percent underclassmen. Despite being young, Head Coach Jeff Tesch likes the talent on the roster and is optimistic about what 2008 holds for the Beavers.

“I think we have a young, exciting team that has a chance to do a lot of good things this season,” Tesch commented. “I think if we are good, we are going to be good for a lot of years because of all the young players.” He went on to say, “I feel like we are as good as we have ever been. It’s just too early to say what the success we’ll have this season because these players haven’t been tested on the field.”

The unproven roster will look to a senior class of 11 to lead it into its first run through the newly expanded conference. Facing unfamil-iar teams and newly formed divisions, they’ll have to find a new road to a championship.

Some look at this year’s roster with skepti-cism, but there is no doubt that there will be twists and turns along the way that the BSU faithful will find exciting. New players will get their chance to step up and begin to leave their legacies at BSU, new rivalries will be ig-nited and old ones will be rekindled, and the Beavers will push for their 10th consecutive wining season. BSU also looks to challenge for the first ever Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Northern Division Championship and begins the season just five wins shy of the program’s 300th victory.

So buckle up, grab a roster and follow the Bea-vers into uncertainty. It’s sure to be an exciting ride.

oFFenseTesch often refers to his 2008 team as talented but untested, especially on offense. The Bea-vers’ roster features just three players who were regular starters in 2007.

BSU lost four of five offensive linemen to graduation including the whole left side which included five All-NSIC selections, two Dakton-ics All-Region awards and a pair of Don Hansen Football Gazette Preseason All-America hon-ors. In addition, the Beavers lost their all-time leading receiver in Anthony Schreiber while two-year starting quarterback Cory Wardrope left the team at the conclusion of the season.

Despite the losses, the Beavers have averaged more than 30 points per game over the last five seasons, and if history is any indication, they’ll find a way to score. QuarterbackBemidji State looks to have its fourth different opening-day starting quarterback in the last four years when it begins its 2008 campaign with sophomore Derek Edholm on top of the depth chart.

Edholm, who played in five games last season in-cluding one start, has been patiently waiting for his shot at leading the BSU offense.

In five games as a reserve in 2007, he completed 13-of-32 pass attempts with four interceptions. He has yet to record a collegiate touchdown pass, but Tesch is optimistic about letting him loose.

“We are really excited about giving Derek a chance to play. He has a lot of athletic ability, has played in big games at the high school level and the team is behind him. Tesch added, “He, like a lot of other players, just hasn’t had the chance to prove himself yet.” Josh Williams also makes a return to BSU to challenge for the starting quarterback spot. Williams spent the first six games of the 2005 season under center for the Beavers. He led BSU to four wins laying the foundation for the

Beavers’ first conference championship in more than 40 years. He completed 73-of-142 pass attempts for 787 yards and eight touch-downs for an efficiency rating of 102.47. According to Tesch, Williams is another viable option at quarterback and will challenge Ed-holm every step of the way.

Tesch said, “The old adage is that the most important player is your back up quarterback. We aren’t sure who the back up will be, but we feel like we have two good solid quarter-backs.”

running BackRunning back may be the deepest offensive position for BSU in 2008. The Beavers return their top two ball-carriers from last fall in Erick Newman and Brandon Miles while the team may get its 2006 leading-rusher, Eurise Wat-son, back from injury.

After a 2007 campaign during which he car-ried the ball 151 times for nearly 600 yards and six touchdowns, Newman may have an edge to start in the Beavers’ backfield to open his senior season. But Miles will make it tough on Tesch and his staff to keep him off the field. The sophomore came on strong as 2007 came to a close, earning a pair of starts in the Bea-vers final three games. In those opportunities, Miles ran for 325 yards with a pair of touch-down plunges.

According to Tesch, Watson looks to be a week-by-week decision. Although he is run-ning and sprinting after undergoing major knee surgery nearly a year ago, it is uncertain when he will return.

receiversWith the Beavers’ top receiving target from each of the last three seasons gone, BSU will look to the veteran hands of senior George Kadlec and sophomore Andrew Schultz to lead the receiving corps.

Kadlec finished 2007 fourth on the Beavers’ receiving charts with 14 receptions, but his 17.9 yards per catch and four touchdown re-ceptions show his knack for the big play. Dur-ing his career he has just 34 receptions but of those, 12 have gone for touchdowns leaving his teammates and coaches saying, “all he does is catch touchdowns.”

Schultz burst onto the scene in 2007 as a red-shirt freshman. He immediately became a fa-vorite target of BSU quarterbacks catching 17 passes for 176 yards and three touchdowns and stands out as one of the better blocking receivers to play recently at BSU.

Redshirt freshmen Justin Lee and Cameron Abrams look to have a handle on the two slot receiver positions. Although both are young and lack game experience, they possess the speed and explosiveness to make a huge im-pact as receivers.

Also looking to vie for time at receiver are Sam Larson, Adam Berg, Tyler Chappelle and true freshman Jody Henningson.

More than any other position, Tesch sees wide re-ceiver as the most talented group on the roster.

“Entering my 13th year at BSU, I would say this is the most talented group of receivers that we have had here,” said Tesch. “We have had some great individual players in Jason Leden, Ryan Welle and Anthony Schreiber, but as far as four good receivers, this is easily the best receiving corps we have had.”

tight endDue to the loss of John Larson and Dan Nagen-gast, Tesch candidly down played the probabil-ity of using tight end formations in 2008. But a lot depends on the play of two young play-ers, sophomore Tony Svare and true freshman Brian Leonhardt. The coaching staff is high on their potential, but commented the it may take some time for them to be ready to play.

FullbackWith a young offensive line, more emphasis will be put on the fullback position. Senior Jeremy Gettel looks to have an edge on gaining the starting position in 2008.

Gettel has played the role of the unsung hero well during his life. A veteran of the Iraq War, he missed the entire 2006 season due to serv-ing the United States oversees but returned a year ago to clear a lane for the BSU running attack.

“We feel we have one of the better blockers in the league in Jeremy Gettel who is a very experienced player.” Tesch added, “Redshirt freshman Nate Solors may be as athletic a fullback as we have had. He has showed that he can run, catch and be a pretty good blocker.

offensive line The offensive line was one of the positions hit the hardest by graduation in 2007. Despite losing Justin Guy, John Keaveny and Chase Pearson--staples of the BSU offensive line in recent years--the team is confident in 6-6, 310-pound senior Nathan Mahlik, who has started each of the last 23 games at right tackle.

Fellow senior Dan Roscoe, who has seen his share of action at three of the five offensive line positions during his career, looks to start opposite Mahlik at left tackle.

At guard, Chad Whaley, Devin Rosenow and Aaron Alexander figure to be at the top of the depth chart entering camp. Whaley got some experience last year filling in for injured players, while Rosenow and Alexander are junior college transfers and look to contribute immediately as juniors.

BSU looks to the tandem of Cory Immerman and Chris Parrish to fill the void at center. Im-merman is a redshirt freshman who looks to be the heir apparent to Pearson, while Parrish, a ju-nior, has been around the program and is intent on cracking the BSU line up.

deFenseThe 2007 Gang Green defense again led the league in rushing defense holding opponents to a meager 71.5 yards per game while its 17.2 points allowed per game was a league low.

The loss of two of its top tacklers of all time in Jer-emiah Johnson and Zach Christ, two of BSU’s all-time top tacklers, leaves a big hole in the Beavers’. Also the defensive line will start fresh, as 2007 NSIC Defensive Player of the Year Zach Stafford and All-NSIC picks Robert Molstad and Seth Iverson, who all finished their careers in the top ten on BSU’s all-time sacks and tackles for loss lists, graduated in 2007. defensive lineConsistent with the offensive line, the Beavers defensive front was decimated by graduation leaving all three line positions open.

Senior Kyle McMartin, who got three starts in 2007 and played in all 11 contests, is a favorite for one of the defensive end positions. McMar-tin racked up 18 tackles in 2007 while posting 5.5 tackles-for-loss and 3.5 sacks. Sophomore

Jordan Lardinois looks to have the other defen-sive end spot locked up. Lardinois saw limited time as a reserve during his redshirt freshman campaign totaling 12 tackles, making 1.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage.Junior Brian Wick will get a shot to plug up the middle of the defense at defensive tackle. In nine games a year ago, Wick collected eight tackles including 3.5 tackles-for-loss and 1.5 sacks.

Others who look to get on the field are Rob Wills and redshirt freshman Eric Zingleman.

“I would say the defensive line is a lot like the offensive line,” said Tesch. “They may have a bit more playing experience, but these guys have been waiting for their shot to play and we are re-ally looking for them to blossom this year.

linebackersTesch and his staff feel comfortable with the 2008 linebacking corps. Despite being young and inexpe-rienced, Tesch said it may be the deepest position in 2008.

Tesch commented, “Just like I said about our receiv-ers, we think depth-wise, this is the best group of line-backers we have ever had here.”

The group will be led by Jake Anderson. In nine games last season, Anderson piled up 68 tackles with 13 coming for a loss, including 1.5 quarter-back sacks. Anderson also led the team with four fumble recoveries and a forced fumble while his six pass break-ups ranked second on the team. Anderson also recorded a touchdown in 2007, returning his only interception of the sea-

son 37 yards for six points.

Sophomore Andrew Eagan also figures to be in the mix at the linebacker position. In a stellar redshirt freshman campaign, he totaled 40 tack-les and an interception playing in 10 games with five starts.

Senior Josh Karch, junior college transfer, Gary Miller and redshirt freshman George Percak-Dennet will compete for the final two starting linebacker spots.

Karch started three of the six games he saw time in last fall and posted 15 tackles. Miller is a transfer form Mendocino Community College. No stranger to BSU, Miller’s brother is former Beaver Michael Nordyke. David Olson head-lines a group of other players that could work their way into the defensive line-up. Olson, a Ju-nior College All-American, comes to BSU from Rochester Community College, and is someone Tesch thinks has as much ability as anyone BSU has recruited.

defensive BacksSenior Terrell Phelps will anchor one of the cornerback positions after starting each of the Beavers’ outings a year ago. In 11 games, he totaled 38 tackles, an interception and six pass break-ups. He also covered a fumble and forced another. In Tesch’s words, “he just keeps getting better and better each year.”

ond corner spot after posting 20 stops in nine games as a reserve in 2007.

Spencer Wagner, a junior, and sophomore Sid Johnson also look to be in the mix in the defen-sive secondary. Johnson saw his playing time increase as the 2007 campaign went on while Wagner capped the season with the best perfor-mance of his career picking off an errant Upper Iowa pass and returning it 31 yards for a touch-down in the final game of the 2007 season.

safetiesJason Kunz, one of a handful of seniors on the 2008 defensive unit, has a lock on one of the Beavers’ starting safety positions. Kunz became one of BSU’s top defensive players in 2007. He saw time in all 11 games making starts in nine. In addition to his 40 tackles, he had an interception and three pass break-ups. He returns second only to Jake Anderson in tackles.

Newcomer, redshirt freshman Dusty Sluzewicz is a favorite to take over the second safety spot to begin 2008.

“Talent-wise, this is another of those groups that has unlimited potential.” Tesch added, “You are counting on a redshirt freshman to come in and do some special things, but between our cor-ners and safeties, we are really excited about the ways these guys can play.”

special teamsThe Beavers have finished atop NSIC return charts in each of the last three seasons, leaving special teams as one of the strengths of the team. En-tering the 2008 season, expectations are nothing different. The return of First-Team All-NSIC and All-Region kicker/punter Paul Potemra will allow the Beavers to play the field position game and give them another option for points on offense. Potem-ra burst onto the scene as a true freshman to set several BSU kicking and punting records. His 71 points on 30 field goals and 41-of-41 PATs was a single-season best at BSU while his season-long average of 40.5 yards per punt was tops at BSU since Danny Kraus kicked for an average of 41.3 in 1984-55.

“It’s nice to have the all-conference and all-re-gion caliber kicker/punter out there,” said Tesch.

“Potemra is a guy we have a lot of confidence in. We may be able to try some of those 40-45-yard field goals this year and he certainly has the abil-ity to pin an offense way back there.”

Tesch will look to a handful of play makers in-cluding Tiger Ellison, Justin Lee and Cameron Abram to handle return duties. Tesch thinks all three have game-breaking capabilities, but just like so many of the Beavers this season, they just have not had a chance to prove it.

scheduleThe 2008 slate is as tough as it gets. The Beavers have challenging road games facing Minnesota Duluth, Winona State and Wayne State, teams which account for three of the Beavers’ four loss-es in 2007. BSU will also battle NSIC newcomers St. Cloud State and Minnesota State.

With the addition of Augustana College, Min-nesota Duluth, Minnesota State and St. Cloud State to the NSIC in 2008, the 14-team league will be split into Northern and Southern Divisions. Each team will play its division rivals along with a yearly meeting with a natural rival hailing from the other division, Concordia-St. Paul in BSU’s case, and three additional games versus teams from the opposing division.

The Northern Division will be comprised of BSU, U-Mary, Minnesota, Crookston, Minnesota Du-luth, Minnesota State-Moorhead, Northern State and St. Cloud State while Augustana, Concordia-St. Paul, Minnesota State, Southwest Minnesota State, Upper Iowa, Wayne State and Winona State will call the Southern Division home.

A Northern and Southern Divisional Champion will be crowned at the conclusion of the season based on each teams’ play within their own di-vision. An overall NSIC Champion will also be awarded to the team with the best conference record.

Tesch commented, “The bottom line is that there is a North Champion and a South Champion and we still have the Mineral Water Bowl game and the NCAA Playoffs to play for and with the addi-tion of the new teams the NSIC will be very com-petitive nationally.”

It begins in early October with the turning of the fall leaves. Students, proud alumni and families from sur-rounding communities file into a small, picturesque stadium by the lake with fevered expectations for the battles to come. Through the autumn combat, those watchful souls have been blessed to witness an unprec-edented era of success. All-America honorees. School records falling by the wayside with an almost dazzling regularity. A stadium where victories occurred with the frequency of a bigfoot sighting just a few short years ago now hosts men with annual dreams of champion-ship and glory. It’s an era of success and excitement that once might have seemed akin to the Christmas fantasies of youth. But under the masterful guidance of 12th-year head coach Jeff Tesch, the Bemidji State football pro-gram has undergone a remarkable metamorphosis and gone from annual doormat to title contender. Tesch has posted a 71-47 record at BSU and led the Beavers to a school-record streak of nine consecu-tive winning seasons. During that historic streak he has posted four of the five eight-win seasons for a program now in its 82nd season of competition. He is the only coach in Bemidji State history to oversee back-to-back eight-win seasons, and his 2000 and 2006 teams set matching school records of nine wins. Tesch’s success at BSU has been remarkable. Upon being named BSU’s 15th field general in May 1996, he inherited a program which had won just 16 games in its previous eight seasons, suffering losing streaks of nine, 11 and 18 games in that time. Today, his 71 wins rep-resent nearly 25 percent of the program’s all-time victo-ries. He has averaged six wins a season at a program which in 70 years prior to his arrival averaged barely three victories each fall. In fact, Tesch’s 71 wins in 11

years are more than the number of victories garnered by the Bemidji State program in the 25 full seasons prior to his arrival — 70. Tesch has further cemented his legendary status by becoming Bemidji State’s all-time leader in coach-ing victories. He posted his 53rd win at BSU with a 28-20 victory over Minnesota Crookston on Oct. 16, 2004, moving him past H. “Jolly” Erickson, who won 52 games during a 17-year career at BSU from 1938-54. Tesch’s growing list of achievements at Bemidji State has him amongst the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Con-ference’s coaching deans as well. Now entering his 12th season at the Bemidji State helm, Tesch is the second-longest tenured coach in the conference, trailing only Winona State’s Tom Sawyer who enters his 13th year with the Warriors.

growing painsTesch’s rebuilding efforts came about slowly, as BSU finished 2-8 in each of his first two seasons. His inau-gural 1996 squad closed out an eight-game losing skid dating back to the 1995 season before Tesch picked up his first win as a head coach in a 19-15 win against Minn.-Morris. The Beavers would later close 1996 with a 28-14 win over Southwest State in the Metrodome Clas-sic, BSU’s first win in the ‘Dome since downing Augs-burg, 23-7, in 1983. That victory capped a 2-8 campaign and helped set the table for the turnaround to come. BSU built upon the momentum of its season-end-ing win in 1996, picking up a 25-21 win over St. John’s (Minn.) in its 1997 opener. That win, highlighted by “The Catch” – a 47-yard Hail Mary from Pat O’Connor to Ty Houglum as time expired – gave the Beavers back-to-back wins for just the second time in the 1990s and marked the team’s first win in a season opener since 1990. BSU would later pick up a 25-22 home win over NSIC rival Northern State before dropping its final two contests to finish the 1997 season at 2-8.

jeFF tesch i head coach



Tesch’s resurrection of the BSU program began in ear-nest in 1998, as he led it to a 6-4 overall record and a third-place finish in the NSIC. BSU won three consecu-tive games after a season-opening loss, marking just the team’s second three-game winning streak since 1985. The Beavers later posted a 48-13 over Minn.-Morris and a 48-18 win over Minn.-Duluth to mark their first 40-point scoring contests since 1991. BSU’s six wins not only helped elevate Tesch to NSIC Coach of the Year honors, they marked the most wins for the program since John Peterson’s 1986 squad fin-ished 6-4-1. BSU finished 4-2 against the NSIC, mark-ing the first time since Peterson’s 1984 team (4-2) the Beavers won as many as four league games.

the arrivalThe Beavers opened strong in 1999, serving notice that the successes of 1998 would not be a one-season flash-in-the-pan. BSU won its first three games, its best start since also opening 3-0 in 1985, en route to what would become just the second eight-win season in school his-tory. BSU set a school record in 1999 with three 50-point scoring games. The first of BSU’s three half-century ef-forts came in a 52-38 win over Wayne State, BSU’s first 50-point game since 1986. BSU would top the 50-point barrier twice more in ‘99 with a 54-7 win over Concor-dia-St. Paul and a 53-20 win over Minn.-Morris. Then in 2000, a record-setting offense helped propel BSU to arguably the finest single-season performance in school history. Tesch’s 2000 squad became just the third team in school history - and first since 1944 - to open a season 4-0. The hot start propelled the Bea-vers to a school-record nine-win season, breaking the previous mark of eight wins set in 1984 and equalled in 1999. Behind first-team All-NSIC and honorable mention All-America running back Eddie Acosta and honorable mention all-league quarterback Geoff Martinson, the BSU offense established 10 school season records and set its single-game scoring mark in a 70-0 blitzkrieg over Minn.-Morris. The 70-point effort tied for the fifth-highest scoring performance in all of Division II and joined with an historic 65-63, quadruple-overtime Homecoming win over Southwest State, BSU joined Northwest Missouri State as the only Division II programs to top 65 points twice in 2000. BSU also closed strong, becoming one of just six teams in school history, and first in 36 years, to finish with three consecutive wins. BSU’s achievements did not go unnoticed on the national scene. The Beavers finished ninth in the NCAA Midwest Regional Poll, used to select participants in the 16-team Division II national playoffs, and were 28th in the final AFCA Coaches Poll.

championship expectationsThe 2000 season set the stage for a 21st century Be-midji State program which has established itself as a legitimate annual contender for the NSIC title, a crown the Beavers have not worn since 1959. BSU’s breakout 2000 season sent it into 2001 as a favorite for the NSIC championship, and with expecta-tions also came national attention. The Beavers were ranked 23rd in Lindy’s pre-season Division II national poll, and running back Eddie Acosta was named NSIC Pre-Season Offensive Player of the Year. While the 2001 edition of the Beavers may not have lived up to the pre-season expectations, BSU finished 7-4 and led the NSIC in both total offense and passing offense. Along the way, BSU shattered 16 team single-

season records while 13 individual season records and more than two dozen career marks fell by the wayside. When it was all said and done, BSU had seven players named First-Team All-NSIC—the larg-est group in school history and equal to BSU’s total of First-Team All-NSIC players in 1999 and 2000. Acosta was named NSIC Of-fensive Player of the Year, and Ja-son Leden earned a school-record fifth All-NSIC honor. An 0-3 start and a season-ending injury to Acos-ta, a consensus pre-season All-America pick, derailed BSU’s plans for the 2002 season early on, but Tesch rallied the troops with perhaps his finest coaching job since coming to Bemidji. No longer chasing confer-ence titles or post-season glory, BSU instead looked inward and chose to play for the pride of the program. The Beavers rallied to go 6-2 in their final eight games and finished the season with sole possession of fourth place in the NSIC. WR Ryan Welle was named First-Team All-NSIC, leading BSU’s largest group of All-Conference selec-tions since 1998, and also earned a spot on an All-Mid-west Region team. LB Jon Aamot earned second-team league honors and was named to two post-season All-Midwest Region teams. BSU opened the 2003 season 2-0, including a season-opening win over Minn. State-Mankato which marked its first victory over a North Central Confer-ence opponent since 1976. But three losses in four games again would make the team’s quest for an NSIC championship an uphill battle. The Beavers rebound-ed and won four times in their final five starts. BSU’s late-season surge also included a thrilling 48-42 win at Northern State which saw BSU rally from a 21-point first-quarter deficit. BSU had three First-Team All-NSIC picks in 2003, most since 2001, and in total had nine players named to the All-Conference team. Tesch’s successes at Bemidji State continued in 2004, as he led the team to the third eight-win season under his watch and the fourth in school history. BSU tied for second in the NSIC standings, its highest fin-ish since 2000, and went into the final weekend of the season in position to earn the first post-season berth in school history. BSU grabbed national attention by scoring 40 or more points in each of its first five games, running its streak of 40-point scoring games to seven dating back to the 2003 season. The Beaver offense was back in form, breaking school season records for scoring (422), rushing yard-age (2,519) and rushing touchdowns (33) while becom-ing just the second team in school history to average better than 440 yards of offense per game. At season’s end, nine Beavers earned All-NSIC honors, OT Blaine Thomas was named All-Northwest Region and WR/KR Michael Nordyke received an in-vitation to a free-agent minicamp tryout with the Min-

memoraBle victories in the tesch era

nesota Vikings. The Beavers erupted to a 3-0 start in 2005, highlighted by a 42-17 win at Minot State which saw quarterback Nathan Sannes set a school re-cord with six touchdown passes and a 28-23 home victory over Minnesota State. In Week 4, BSU set a school record for combined points scored in regulation (96) in a 55-48 single-overtime loss at Concordia-St. Paul, and from that point forward injuries to key players on both sides of the ball would hamper BSU’s efforts the remainder of the season. That loss and a setback at Winona State two weeks later left the Bea-vers at 1-2 in NSIC play and out of title contention. However, the Beavers rallied to win their next three starts following the loss to Winona State, in-cluding a 45-33 win over Northern State and the program’s school-record sixth consecutive victory over MSU-Moorhead in the “Battle for the Axe” rivalry series. Tesch led the Beavers to a 9-3 finish in 2006, extending his school-record streak of consecutive winning seasons to nine, enroute to the school’s first outright conference title and first in more than 40 years. He also led the team to its first ever post season appearance as the Beavers drew Pittsburg State in the Mineral Water Bowl. For his successes, Tesch was voted as the 2006 NSIC Coach of the Year while a school-record 16 players earned some form of All-NSIC honor. John Keaveny and Justin Guy paced a group of five first-team selections as the offensive linemates also garnered all-region accolades.

chart-topping careerTesch’s 12-year run at Bemidji State has him at or near the top in nearly every category for coaching achievement. Despite a slow start, victories have come quickly. He won his first 30 games at BSU in 57 career starts, reaching the plateau two games faster than Chet Anderson (59), and he won his 40th game in year six. The other men to reach that plateau at BSU did so in careers of 10 and 17 years. And when Tesch became BSU’s all-time winningest head coach in 2004, his ninth year at the helm, he reached the 53-win plateau eight years faster than Erickson. In addition, Tesch’s 2006 squad established a school single-season record for conference wins with just the sixth perfect season in NSIC history at 8-0. His 1999, 2000 and 2002 teams held the previous program mark as each piled up six wins. Prior to Tesch’s arrival, no BSU team had ever won more than five conference games. In 2002, Tesch toppled two significant coaching milestones at Bemidji State, becoming just the third BSU mentor to win 40 career games and becoming the program’s all-time leader in victories over conference oppo-nents.

prior to Bemidji stateBefore being named Bemidji State’s 15th head coach, Tesch spent 11 years as an assistant for annual NCAA Division II playoff contender North Dakota.

There, he assumed assistant head coaching duties in 1995. The Fighting Sioux captured at least a share of the North Central Conference cham-pionship three consecutive seasons before Tesch’s departure in 1996. In addition to coaching duties, Tesch helped the Sioux achieve a 92 percent graduation rate while serving as academic advisor. Prior to his UND appointment, Tesch spent one year as an assistant at Montana State, followed by a two-year stint as offensive coordinator at Central Missouri State. A graduate of Moorhead State (Minn.) University who was a free-agent signee with the Atlanta Falcons, Tesch was inducted into the MSU Hall of Fame in the spring of 1998. In 1977, Tesch was the NCAA Division II re-ceiving champion and still holds Dragon single-game and single-season records for receptions. In 26 years of coaching, Tesch has produced 12 All-America selections and five NFL draft picks. Jeff and his wife Susan have two children — daughter Tara and son Vincent.

An original member of Jeff Tesch’s coaching staff, Rich Jahner enters his 13th season as Bemidji State’s defensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator and his eighth season with the title of Assistant Head Coach. The evolution of the BSU defense under Jahner’s watch continued in 2007, as the Beavers led the NSIC against the run for the second consecutive sea-son, allowing an average of just over 70 yards per game. Five times BSU held opponents to less than 40 yards on the ground. The Beavers finished second in the NSIC giving up just over 300 yards of total offense per game while op-ponents scored just 17.2 points per contest against Jahner’s stingy defense--a BSU Tesch-Era record. Six BSU defenders earned All-NSIC honors in 2007, giving BSU a total of 47 All-NSIC picks on defense under Jahner. Thirty-two of those picks have come in the last six years. En route to its first conference championship in over 40 years, the BSU de-fense led the nation in defense against the run allowing just over 50 yards per contest. Seven times it held its opponents to less than 25 yards on the ground giving up its only individual 100-yard game to Germane Race of Pittsburg State in the 2006 Mineral Water Bowl. The Beavers paced the NSIC in 2005 piling up 13 fumble recoveries and finished third in the league with 27 total takeaways while the crew limited two opponents to less than 200 yards of total offense. In 2004, Jahner’s Gang Green defense assembled its best season, statistically, in nearly 20 years. BSU finished second in the NSIC, allowing just 22.0 points per game -- the lowest by a BSU defense since 1986. BSU also led the NSIC in takeaways with 32, and in league games only led the conference in scoring defense (18.4), takeaways (21) and turnover margin (+1.14). The Beavers closed the 2004 season with back-to-back shutouts, blanking MSU-Moorhead and Wayne State to record the program’s first consecutive shutouts since 1985. In 2003, the Beavers finished third in the NSIC (all games) in total defense and scoring defense, placing five defenders on the All-NSIC squad. The 2002 Beaver defense led the NSIC (league games only) in both passing defense (165.4 yards per game) and pass efficiency defense (108.1). The squad held Wayne State to just 147 total yards in a 38-2 victory, and shut out Southwest State, 37-0. In 2001, LB Pat Engleright and DE Wallie Kuchinski earned First-Team All-NSIC honors to mark the first time since 1998 two BSU defenders were named to the first team. BSU’s defense was particularly fierce down the stretch in 2001, recording 38 tackles-for-loss and 13 sacks in the final four games while holding opponents to 17.5 points per game - seven points per game under its season average. Six of BSU’s 12 interceptions came in its final four games. Jahner’s defense opened the 2000 campaign with a 25-0 win over Minot State, marking the first shutout pitched by the BSU defenders since a 51-0 win over Mt. Senario (Wis.) in 1986. The Beavers then posted a second shutout in their record-shattering 70-0 win over UM-Morris, marking the first time the BSU defense had posted two shutouts in the same season since ‘85, when it posted three. It also marked BSU’s first shutout of a conference foe since ‘85, when it shut out Southwest St., 32-0. Jahner’s attack defense recorded 44 sacks in 1998, while the 1996 Beaver defense ranked nationally in turn-overs, forcing 20 fumbles and 14 interceptions while scoring four defensive touchdowns. A member of the American Football Coaches Association, Jahner brings 16 years experience as a specialist in molding defensive units at the collegiate level. He was selected to coach in the 1996 National Collegiate All-Star Game in Louisville, Ky. In addition to his coaching duties at Bemidji State Jahner has been active in coaching clinics and football camps around the region. He has presented at the American Football Monthly (AFM University) Clinic, the Nike Coach of the Year Clinic and the Minnesota Football Coaches Association Clinic while he has been involved in the University of Minnesota Football Coaching CLinic, the University of Nebraska Camp and the North Dakota State University Football Camp in each of the last three years. Jahner also founded the Bemidji Area chapter of All Pro Dad. The Bemidji chapter is one of over 1,000 Family First innovative programs across the country, backed by Indianapolis Colts Head Coach Tony Dungy, helping men to become better fathers. Prior to his appointment at Bemidji State, Jahner coached the linebackers and defensive backs at Lindenwood (Mo.) following a stint as the defensive coordinator for Valley City (N.D.) State. His first college coaching assign-ment came in 1990 when he worked with the defensive line at Central Missouri State. Jahner, his wife Sheri, son Trace and daughter Maris reside in Bemidji.

Brent Bolte enters his ninth season on the Bemidji State coaching staff and his sixth as a full-time assistant coach. Bolte spent the 2002 season as an adjunct coach overseeing linebackers, and the previous two seasons was in charge of BSU’s receiving corps. Bolte received his promotion to full-time assistant coach in August, 2003 and was named Co-Defensive Coordinator in 2005. During his six years as linebacker coach, Bolte developed a First- or Second-Team All-NSIC selection each year. He extended that streak in 2007 when Zach Christ earned First-Team All-NSIC accolades. Christ finished the season second on the team with 78 tackles and added a sack and an interception. He finished his career ranked eighth on the BSU assisted tackles list with 168 while piling up 241 career stops. Christ is just the most recent example of the type of player Bolte has con-sistently turned out. He helped mold the career of Jon Aamot, who was named Second-Team All-NSIC in 2003. He finished as BSU’s career leader in solo tack-les (157) and finished second in total tackles (362). In 2002, Bolte helped continue BSU’s recent tradition of strong play at the linebacker position. Aamot finished second in the NSIC in tackles per game and became BSU’s most-decorated player in 2002. He was named Second-Team All-NSIC, Second-Team All-Region by Daktronics, Inc. and Third-Team All-Region by Don Hansen’s Gazette. His 115 total tackles and 52 solo tackles were amongst the 10-best single-season efforts on record at BSU. Bolte spent the 2000 and 2001 seasons as BSU’s wide receivers coach, where he helped develop one of the NSIC’s best receiving corps. He coached a First-Team All-NSIC pick during both of his seasons at the position; Jason Leden in 2000 and Ryan Welle in 2001. Under Bolte’s tutelage, Leden left BSU as the program’s career leader in catches, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns (records since tied or broken), and in 2001 Welle set a school single-season record for receiving yardage. Before joining the BSU staff, Bolte spent 1999 coaching wide receivers and quarterbacks at Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa. Bolte started and lettered four years as a linebacker at Cornell College in Mt. Vernon, Iowa. He helped the program capture the 1995 Midwest Athletics Conference championship and the 1996 Southern Division crown. He received All-MAC honors and left as the school’s career leader in tackles (since broken). He graduated in 1998 with a double major in psychology and physical education. Bolte and his wife Kim have a son, Caden and daughter, Beth. They reside in Bemidji.

u Defensive Backsu Walsh (Ohio)u First season at Bemidji State

Jere Kubuske joins the Beavers’ football staff as a defensive back assistant for the 2008 season. He comes to BSU after a three-year stint teaching biology and coaching three sports at Tuscarawas Valley High School in Zoarville, Ohio.

At Tuscarawas Valley, Kubuske helped the Trojans football team to three consecutive conference championships, including a 2005 title that was the first in school history. That success spilled over into the post-season as the Trojans also made three playoff appearances and captured the school’s first playoff victory in 2006.

Kubuske worked with the wide receivers and defensive backs in addition to coaching wrestling and baseball.

Kubuske, a graduate of Walsh University in Canton, Ohio, earned a bachelor of science degree in education in 2004. As an undergraduate, Kubuske was a three-year letterwinner for the Cavaliers at quarterback and wide receiver.

u Defensive Endsu Wisconsin-Stevens Pointu First season at Bemidji State

J.T. Mathy, who takes over defensive end coaching responsibilities, is just one year removed from his collegiate playing days. Mathy spent the last five seasons in the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point football program. From 2003-05, Mathy held down the center of the Stevens Point defense at the nose guard position. However, a serious leg injury at the conclusion of the 2005 campaign forced Mathy onto the sidelines in 2006 where he served as a student assistant defensive line coach. In 2007 he made the transition back onto the field as left guard where he earned Second-Team All-Conference accolades after helping the Pioneers to a 6-4 overall record.

Mathy graduated from UWSP in 2007 with a bachelor of science degree in health promotion with an emphasis in strength and conditioning.

Mathy is a native of Milwaukee, Wis. and a 2003 graduate of Cudahy High School.

Founded in 1932, the Northern Intercollegiate Confer-ence (NIC) has enjoyed a varied existence in the upper Midwest region it calls home. In the spring of 1992 the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) was formed out of the merger of the NIC, the men’s confer-ence, and the women’s Northern Sun Conference (NSC). The NSC had existed since 1979. The NSIC is currently made up of institutions from Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North and South Dakota. In the 1999-00 academic year, the NSIC became an expanded 10-team league from a previous seven-member conference. The conference featured eight members from 2004-05 until 2005-06 but the league expanded back to 10 teams in 2006-07 as the University of Mary in Bismarck, N.D., and Upper Iowa University in Fayette, Iowa, joined the league. Since 1932, various institutions have competed in the NSIC. Bemidji State University, Minnesota State University Moorhead and Winona State University are charter members and have remained in the conference for the 76 years of its existence. The University of Min-nesota Duluth, which departed following the 2003-04 season and will return in 2008-09, was also an original member. Other current members joined in later years: Southwest Minnesota State University in 1969, Northern State University in 1978, Wayne State College (Nebraska) in 1998, Concordia University-St. Paul and the University of Minnesota, Crookston in 1999 and the University of Mary and Upper Iowa University in 2006. The Univer-sity of Minnesota, Morris became a league member in 1966, however, the Cougars opted for the NCAA Division III ranks in 2003. The 2008-09 season is one of transi-tion for the NSIC. The league will expand to 14 teams with the addition of Minnesota State University, Mankato; Augustana College; St. Cloud State University and Min-nesota Duluth. The addition of these four regionally rec-ognized institutions will push the NSIC into the upper echelon of NCAA Division II athletics. Before the NSIC became eligible for National Colle-giate Athletic Association (NCAA) championship compe-tition in 1995, its member institutions had an extremely rich tradition in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). The NIC’s and NSC’s tenure in the NAIA included several national championship teams and indi-viduals as well as many national qualifiers. Following the 2004-05 season, Winona State became the first team other than Minnesota Duluth to capture the NSIC All-Sports Competition trophy. The Warriors have taken home the trophy now the last two seasons. The Warriors put the NSIC on the map in 2006 as they hosted and won the NCAA North Central Regional Tournament

and advanced to the Elite Eight. Although Winona State wasn’t the first men’s basketball team to compete in the Elite Eight (SW Minnesota State in 2001 & Northern State in 1998) they were the first to win it. The National Cham-pionship for Winona State marked the first NCAA Title for any NSIC institution. However, since WSU’s title to conclude the 2004- 2005 campaign, the Warriors have added another cham-pionship to thier basketball trophy case (2007-08) while Concordia University-St. Paul garnered a volleyball na-tional championship in 2007. Since 2000, the NSIC has participated in the only officially-sanctioned NCAA Division II football bowl game in the country. With a rich history dating back to 1948, the Mineral Water Bowl is hosted by the Quarterback Club of Excelsior Springs, Mo. The game matches the highest-finishing team from the NSIC not selected for the NCAA Division II playoffs against the highest-finishing team from the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics As-sociation (MIAA) not participating in the NCAA Division II playoffs. Now in its 41st year, the first game was played on Thanksgiving Day, 1948. The first MIAA/NSIC meet-ing in 2000 marked the Mineral Water Bowl’s inaugural year of the Division II era. Winona State defeated Mis-souri Western State, 43-41, in triple overtime, marking the Warriors’ first-ever postseason win at the Division II level. The league gears up for the upcoming academic year with the annual NSIC Summer Kickoff Event the last weekend in July. The event includes the NSIC Golf Tournament, Hall of Fame Banquet, officiating clinics and meetings involving the conference leadership. The Northern Sun Showcase television program re-turns to the airwaves again on Fox Sports Net North. Also, the Northern Sun Spotlight radio show will air on several stations throughout the Midwest for 20 weeks during the 2008-09 sports season. Over the years, the NSIC, comprised of schools of modest size, has provided extremely competitive inter-collegiate athletic programs for its members. Although the programs are not designed to be equal to Division I athletics, many former NSIC athletes have distinguished themselves in national and international competition. Each member school emphasizes the educational, enter-tainment and unifying value of sports while pointing with pride to the many advantages to be gained by attending these colleges and universities. As some affiliated with the conference have coined, the NSIC quite possibly is, “the most competitive conference in NCAA Division II.”

As Bemidji State has developed into a year-in, year-out title contender in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference, the Beavers have also established one of the true home-field advantages in the region. Since 1996, when Jeff Tesch took the reigns of the BSU program, the Beavers have posted a 33-14 record at Chet Anderson Stadium (.702) which includes five-game home winning streaks from Oct. 23, 1999 to Sep. 15, 2001, from Sept. 28, 2003, to Aug. 28, 2004 and from Oct. 16, 2004, to the present. BSU has won 16 of its last 19 games played at Chet Anderson Stadium dating back to a Sept. 28, 2002, win over Wayne State (Neb.), with the only three losses in that span coming to then-12th ranked Chadron (Neb.) State, eventual NCAA Playoff participant Minn.-Duluth, and then 16th-ranked Winona State. Perhaps the most exciting game in BSU history came on the turf at Chet Anderson Stadium on Oct, 7, 2000, in a Homecoming contest against Southwest State. In that game, BSU prevailed 65-63 in a four-overtime marathon, with the Beavers pulling out the win on a successful two-point conversion at the end of the fourth extra period.

home cookin’As the Bemidji State Teachers College continued to increase its enrollment from just 130 students when it opened its doors on June 23, 1919, to 160 in 1923, the need for more space and facilities became apparent.

Mr. A.P White, a member of the Bemidji community and the Normal School Board, stated “now is the time for us to get our campus developed.” At that time the east side of campus along the lakeshore was still wilderness. Mr. White’s suggestion was carried out and the grounds for tennis courts and a football field were leveled and surfaced in 1923. The football field was located just east of the current student union along the shore of Lake Bemidji, just a few feet south from the current location of the stadium. The field ran north-south with sidelines running along the lakeshore. In 1926, R.E. Mendenhall, BSU’s first staff member to hold a Ph.D who taught history and physical education, organized the college’s first football team. The team played four games that fall against local high schools. The first game played on the Bemidji State field (often referred to as Diamond Point Field) was held Oct. 27, 1926 against Cass Lake High School. Bemidji was victorious, winning the battle 13-0. The team ended the first season in Bemidji State history with a record of 1-2-1. In August of 1935, with sponsorship by local organizations, citizens of Bemidji and the faculty, a $2,400 lighting system was installed in time for the upcoming season. Forty lights, mounted on eight 60-foot poles, illuminated the field brilliantly for the 1935 home opener Sept. 13 against Itasca Junior College. This would be the first night game to be played in Bemidji State history. The dedication for the new lighting sys-tem took place during halftime with a crowd of 1,500 in atten-dance. Bemidji State president M.W. Deputy, Mr. F.J McPartlin and Mr. H.Z. Mitchell spoke at the dedication ceremony and the game was preceded by a torchlight parade through the business section of the city. A practice field was built in 1938. The field was built extending from the already-existing field west to Birchmont Road. A con-crete building was also constructed at the southwest corner of the playing field to house football equipment. In 1939, BSU received a $172,000 federal grant provided for

sports fields, and all but a small portion was used to upgrade BSU’s athletics facilities. The projects included two new football fields and relocation of the existing fields, as well as a track, softball and baseball diamonds, soccer field, tennis courts and a general playing court. Concrete bleachers for the football field were included in the improvement plans. One of the new fields would be used as a practice field for football, while the game field was built inside the round cinder track. The location of the new field constructed as part of that proj-ect is the exact location of today’s field. Throughout spring and summer of 1940, work continued on the new sports fields as well as the concrete bleachers. The 1940 football season opened on the newly constructed field as BSU played host to Concordia College on Sept. 27. But the $25,000 bleachers would not be complete until the 1941 season. In 1941 the bleachers, one on each side of the field, were completed. The newly constructed bleachers housed two rest rooms, two shower rooms, a refreshment stand, two first-aid rooms, two ticket booths and offices for the coaches. The inside passageway of the bleachers was home to a 160 foot long and 11 foot wide cinder track used by the track team for training during inclement weather. The bleachers were made of reinforced concrete and were 180 feet long and 40 feet wide. The seats consisted of 15 rows of redwood benches set atop steel straps and would seat an estimated 1,500 people. An enclosed sports booth, six feet wide and 14 feet long, occupied the position above and in the center of the north side bleachers. A glass front was installed to protect sports writers from inclement weather. With both bleachers com-pleted, the estimated capacity of the stadium was 3,500. The present-day stadium and field has undergone modifications throughout the years, but the main structures are the same today as 60 years ago. A new press box was added to the south side bleachers as well as additional seating, bringing the estimated capacity to 5,000. In 1989, a new scoreboard and new playing surface were installed. The facility was named the Chet Anderson Stadium on Oct. 5, 1996, in honor of former head coach Chester A. Anderson (1955-1965).

Bemidji State holds a proud distinction of being the only Minnesota Teachers College to continue its football program through World War II, when other teams across the state temporarily suspended their teams due to a lack of available men on campus to fill out their rosters. “Jolly” Erickson, BSU’s head coach at the time, simply felt it foolish not to continue.

BSU finished 4-0 with its depleted 1944 squad, one of just 15 undefeated teams in the nation that year. It remains the only unbeaten, untied team in BSU history.

Following is a story from the Sep. 27, 1944, edition of The Northern Student which recounts BSU’s decision to carry on.

Bstc carries on in Footballonly state pedswith uninterrupted program

Bemidji State Teachers College is still having football! So far this northern Minnesota college, although severely handicapped by lack of men, has carried on every year in a wartime football program. It is the only one of the State Teachers Colleges in Minnesota to do so. Coach “Jolly” Erickson says, “I think it is foolish to quit just because there aren’t 30 or 40 men around the campus. Ten boys out for the sport will get just as much out of it as a larger squad.” Coach Erickson went on to say that as long as the school has the equipment to fit out a team, every effort should be made to schedule games. Two home games are being planned this year instead of one. Eau Claire Teachers college of Wisconsin will send their team to Bemidji on October 13. The two teams should be of about the same ability as both have all-civilian teams. However, Eau Claire will have about twice as many men on the campus as Bemidji. “I would like to see the game with Eau Claire on October 13 be our annual homecoming game with all of the festivities included,” said “Jolly,” “and we hope that the fans will come out and help us carry out our plans.” Carl Knutson is the only returning major letter winner. He is a sophomore from Benson, Minnesota. LeRoy Voxland from Fosston won a minor letter last year. “Any able-bodied or slightly disabled man is welcome to join the squad.” So said Mr. Erickson. Other members of the team were recently announced by Jolly. They are Ralph Magnuson, Shevlin, Minn.; Louis Marchand and Robert Liapis, Bemidji, Minn.; Clarence Sohlin and Gerald Haring, St. Paul, Minn.; LaVerne Harvey, Hibbing, Minn.; and Donald Letendre, Cass Lake, Minn. Ralph Magnuson and LaVerne Harvey have both had experience as gridders before. Magnuson bucked the line for BSTC in 1938 and Harvey fought with Hibbing High School. Four or five men are expected to report in the near future. Magnuson is the only man on this season’s team with a wife and family, so here’s hoping the Eau Claire boys won’t be too rough with him.

the war yearsthe school colorsIn Feb., 1920, an assembly hour was set aside for the selection of school colors. After the balloting on colors had resulted in a deadlock, Cyrillus Freeman, a student from Minneapolis, rose and commanded attention. “As we sat here discussing this question,” she said, “I happened to glance out the window. The sight that met my eyes was fresh, green pines silhouetted against pure white snow. What could be more appropriate than green and white?” This idea was accepted unanimously.

the naming of the BeaversAs President Deputy reviewed football practice one evening in May, 1932, he called the team into a huddle and raising his hands above their heads declared, “I christen this team the Beavers.” The name “Beavers” is symbolic of the silent, hard-working teams representing Bemidji State University.

Fight song“Go Bemidji BeaversGo you green and whiteGo Bemidji Beavers Fight with all your might!Rah! Rah! Rah!We are here to cheer youWe are out to bring you fameSo go Bemidji BeaversFight and win this game!”

homecomingThe first homecoming at Bemidji Teachers College was held Oct. 5, 1928. Until 1931 Homecoming was a biennial affair. In that year the demands of the alumni, eager for this season of reunion, changed it to an annual celebration with all the traditional dinners, teas, parades, dances, bonfires and football games. Recently, BSU has been celebrating victories in its annual Homecoming football game with a post-game celebration in the waters of Lake Bemidji which borders Chet Anderson Stadium on the east.

the Bsu logoDuring the fall semester of 1998, campus-wide discussions were held on the need for new marks to represent the University as well as BSU athletics. The University marks at the time had been in place since 1974, with minor revisions in 1987, while no official athletic mascot, logo or image had been adopted for University use. A committee was formed and for the next academic year an audit and review were conducted on the school logo and athletics imagery to determine what images were being used to represent the institution. During the spring and summer of 1999, requests for proposals (RFP) were sought from outside firms to assist the university in this historic undertaking. The BSU coaching staffs took great interest in the efforts to produce the new Beaver logo. They desired an image that would represent pride and confidence while being gender-neutral and not appearing cartoonish in nature. The public relations firm of Russell & Herder of Brainerd was awarded the RFP for the logo project during the summer of 2000. For the remainder of 2000 and through early 2001, Russell & Herder helped oversee focus groups and surveys regarding the logo change. In Dec. 2000, preliminary logo designs were presented to the committee, and revisions were made until the time the new marks were formally adopted and officially unveiled March 28, 2001, at a ceremony on campus.

all-time resultsThe 1948 Bemidji State College football homecoming committee decided that something symbolic was needed to add color to the festivities. Publicity stunts that year included dropping leaflets, which included game admissions among them, from an airplane. Homecoming committee chairman Ron Smith and others decided that an axe, then in possession of Smith, would serve as a suitable trophy to mark the hotly-contested annual Beaver-Dragon gridiron clash. The axe would be awarded to the university president representing the victor of the contest. Smith’s axe originated in the native village of Mount Hagon, New Guinea. The axe is hand made and was polished underwater by its maker. Two types of axe are produced by natives in the Mount Hagon area, one with a blade of black stone for work and one of gray stone for ceremonies. Smith procured the gray trophy axe through a series of shrewd trades with the natives. In 1948 the teams fought to the bitter end for possession of the weapon in the inaugural Battle for the Axe, with Moorhead State winning 13-6. Despite a loss in the first battle, Bemidji State dominated the early history of the trophy series posting a 10-3-1 record in its first 14 games. BSU won five consecutive meetings in the series from 1957-’61 and was unbeaten in seven consecutive meetings from 1955-’61. The tide turned in 1962, with the Dragons taking control of the series for the next few decades. In 21 games played from 1962 to 1982, the Beavers brought home the battle axe just twice - after a 28-12 win in Bemidji in 1969 and a 24-22 win in Moorhead in 1976. The Beavers broke through with two wins in four games from 1983-’86, but would then win just once - a 28-27 win in Bemidji in 1992 - in 11 games from 1987-’97. But the tide has once again turned in BSU’s favor, as the Beavers have captured seven of the last eight battles for the axe - including an active series-long streak of six consecutive wins.

From the sep. 29, 1948 edition of the northern student:“Bemidji Presents Trophy to MSTCToday a Homecoming committee journeyed to Moorhead State Teachers college for a special pepe convocation. At this time invitations were extended to the faculty, student body, band and queen to come to BSTC where they will be given an active part in the Homecoming activities. At the convocation Ron Smith presented the New Guinea “Battle Ax” which is the new trophy between BSTC and MSTC.”

The Bemidji area is home to a population of more than 30,000 and includes the Leech Lake, White Earth, and Red Lake Indian Reservations, and Lake Itasca, the headwaters to the Mississippi River. The City of Bemidji provides a fo-cus for educational, business, and medical services. Recre-ational and cultural activities reflect a multicultural heritage that includes American Indian, European and Canadian in-fluences. Bemidji is a “golden city” along the river’s bank, only miles from where the mighty Mississippi River begins its 2,552 mile journey to New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico, a city at the center of the legends of Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox. Bemidji’s natural beauty and bounty as a meeting or group tour destination is also enhanced with historic charac-ter. From world renown statues and architecture listed on the National Register of Historic Places, to ancient earth mounds and burial grounds, the past takes an interesting turn in Bemidji. Bemidji’s waterfront is home to the world-famous statues of Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Nearby is Bemidji’s Tourist In-formation Center. In addition to Paul Bunyan memorabilia, The Bunyan House features the Fireplace of States built with stones from every state in the U.S. and Canadian prov-inces. To the north, you’ll encounter Library Park and the statue of Bemidji’s founding Chief Bemidji, as well as the Community Arts Center in the Carnegie Building, also on the National Register. At the south end of Lake Bemidji is Nymore Beach, site of the Crookston Lumber Co. The burning of the mill in 1924 marked the end of the county’s logging era. On the way into Bemidji, you may cross over the historic Mississippi River Bridge, built in 1916. This structure is list-

ed on the National Register as one of the earliest examples of a steel-reinforced concrete bridge. At the southern end of Minnesota Avenue lies the Great Northern Depot, com-pleted in 1913. On the Historic Register, the Depot is the last early 20th century railroad building left in its original condition.

The Commercial Building on Third Street, built in 1910, is cited in the Architecture of Minnesota Guide as a successful prairie-style solution for a single-story building. Other examples of historic architecture include the Beltrami County Courthouse built in 1902. Across the street you’ll find the 1917 Colonial Revival-style former Post Office. Perhaps Bemidji’s best-known historic district is the eight-block section of Lake Boulevard. Once known as Bemidji’s “Gold Coast,” among the many venerable homes to be viewed is the Dr. Johnson House built in 1910 with a show-case garden. The Bacon House was also built in 1910, later used for a Catholic convent. An unusual log structure, the Fisk House was reconstructed log-by-log at the present site. Judge Fisk enjoyed entertaining many distinguished guests, including writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. Further along you’ll find Warfield House, the 1912 home of the man who built Bemidji’s elec-tric light plant. Two lady teachers resided at the 1930s Parker & Mangels-dorf House, also known for its large, informal gardens. Birchmont Drive displays two art deco classics built in 1937, one with a semicircular glass projection, is located at Bemi-dji State University, the only lakeshore campus in the state with architecture dating back to 1919. Located about midway between Minneapolis/St. Paul to the south and Winnipeg, Canada to the north, Bemidji has easy access by air, motor carrier, and automobile to metropolitan areas and international airports.

goalsBemidji State’s vision - Shaping Potential, Shaping Worlds - reflects the opportunities that approximately 5,000 students have each year at BSU to expand their talents and skill and to use their abilities in making an impact within their personal, professional, community and global spheres. It also exemplifies Bemidji State’s role in shaping students’ interests and talents while preparing them for the future.

historyBemidji State began as a state Normal school in 1919, became a leading teachers’ college in the region, and achieved University status in 1975. Currently, BSU recognizes over 40,000 alumni.

academic programThe only baccalaureate institution in northern Minnesota, Bemidji State offers 65 undergraduate major fields of study and 13 graduate programs housed in one of three major colleges: College of Arts & Sciences, College of Health Sciences and Human Ecology and the College of Business, Technology, and Communications. Quality education is a priority at BSU, as many programs have earned national acclaim. The accounting program ranks among the nation’s Top 10 in preparing students for the CPA examination, and scientific research has gained national exposure in a variety of fields.

students / FacultyWhile more than 86 percent of Bemidji State students come from Minnesota, the University attracts a broad and diverse student body from 35 states and 35 foreign nations. Through teaching and informed attention to the educational needs of students, the University seeks to instill the spark of openness and commitment for lifelong learning. In fact, many BSU faculty members continue to pursue knowledge as specialists and educators in their fields.

locationBemidji State University lies in the heart of the city of Bemidji, midway between Minneapolis/St. Paul and Winnipeg, deep within Minnesota’s lakes and forest region. With stands of pine, oak and birch reflecting the nearby presence of the northern woods, the east side of campus lines the shores of Lake Bemidji. The city of Bemidji, which serves a population of approximately 40,000, provides a regional focus for educational, business and medical services. Entertainment and activities include lively downtown Bemidji, shopping malls, theatre, art, downhill and cross country skiing and various forms of water recreation.

FacilitiesThe modern campus spans 89 acres on the shores of Lake Bemidji, including the Physical Education Complex which houses the John S. Glas Fieldhouse, host to several NCAA Championships. The BSU Gymnasium hosts the basketball and volleyball events, and a 3,000 square foot weight room, human performance labratory, indoor track, and tennis, racquetball and swimming areas complete the complex. Football fans can catch a spectacular view of Lake Bemidji through the east end zone of Chet Anderson Stadium.

Financial aid / scholarshipsEighty-two percent of students at Bemidji State receive some form of financial assistance. Over $16 million was awarded last year to students, including $6 million in grants and scholarships.

internshipsEach year, students complete internships with the likes of the NASA space program in Houston, Texas, Disneyland, Compaq, Rubbermaid and a host of architectural firms.

Chet Anderson Stadium is home to BSU’s football and outdoor track and field programs. It is one of just three collegiate football stadiums in the nation with a lakeside setting.

BSU Baseball Field plays host to the Beaver baseball program in the spring. The stadium grandstand was completed for the 2002 season and the facility underwent a $170,000 renovation project including the installation of new dugouts and a Fair-Paly electronic LED scoreboard in 2007.

BSU Gymnasium is the home of BSU’s men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball programs. BSU’s men and women each won a home-court first-round NSIC playoff game in 2004.

Bemidji State’s softball program plays its home contests at the BSU Softball Field, adjacent to the baseball field. In the spring of 2008, the school unveiled a new permanent scoreboard at the facility.

John S. Glas Fieldhouse is the legendary home of BSU’s men’s and women’s ice hockey programs. BSU’s men have won five national championships in the building.

The BSU indoor track and tennis teams make their home in the Gillett Recreation/Fitness Center. One of the finest indoor facilities in the region, the center also serves as the campus recreational center.

dr. jon Quistgaardpresident, Bemidji state universityUniversity of Arizona (1970)

Dr. Jon E. Quistgaard became the ninth president of Bemidji State University in August, 2001. The Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Board of Trustees named him to the position in late May, 2001 following a national search. A member of the BSU community for 23 years, he had served since 1997 as the vice president for aca-demic and student affairs. As the chief academic offi-cer of the institution, he was responsible for academic programming in three colleges, integrative studies,

distance learning, academic services, international student services, coun-seling, career services, the American Indian Resource Center, and student development programs. Quistgaard began his association with BSU in 1979 as an admissions representative. He became the director of admissions and advising in 1980; was named the dean of undergraduate admissions and graduate studies in 1988; served as acting vice president for academic and student affairs from 1993-94; and was the associate vice president for academic affairs and dean of academic services from 1994-1997. Quistgaard is an active presenter on the national level in the areas of continuous quality improvement, challenges in higher education, planning, assessment models, and transforming higher education. He received a doc-torate in political science from the University of Arizona, where he also earned his master’s and bachelor’s degrees in government.

A new era in Bemidji State University athletics began July 13, 2001 when Dr. Rick Goeb was named BSU‘s first full-time director of intercollegiate athletics. Goeb directs a 17-sport varsity athletics program at BSU with NCAA Division I men’s and women’s ice hockey and 15 Division II sports. Beaver athletics has undergone dramatic changes in Goeb’s tenure, having seen more than a dozen positions created or filled with new hires - including head coaches for women’s hockey, men’s and women’s basketball, soccer, softball, baseball, women’s golf, tennis and volleyball - and the hiring of BSU’s first full-time athletics fundraiser. In Goeb’s five years overseeing BSU athletics, the program has entered one of the best all-around eras in the program’s history. Men’s ice hockey has won two College Hockey America regular-season titles, two tournament titles and made its first Division I NCAA Tournament appearance; men’s basketball won its first NSIC Championship in decades, advanced to its first-ever NCAA Tournament and has hosted first-round NSIC playoff games each of the last four years; women’s basketball hosted and won its first-ever NSIC playoff game; indoor track won its first-ever NSIC Championship; men’s and women’s golf have made NCAA regional

appearances with both full teams and individual performers. BSU athletics has also assembled a strong academic reputation under Goeb’s leadership. Men’s hockey has set a CHA single-season record for number of Academic All-CHA performers three times and produced the 2005 CHA Student-Athlete of the Year; women’s ice hockey posted three consecutive WCHA Student-Athletes of the Year from 2002-04; and nearly two dozen BSU student-athletes have been recognized on the CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District V Team with four Academic All-America honorees. Goeb came to Bemidji State after six years as senior associate athletics direc-tor at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks. At Fairbanks, Goeb served as NCAA compliance officer, monitored academic eligibility and acted as the liaison for booster clubs. Prior to his position at Fairbanks, Goeb spent two years as an administra-tor at North Dakota. Goeb also served as the head wrestling coach at St. Cloud State from 1990-93 when he was an instructor in physical education and a facility coordinator; was the strength and conditioning coach at Northern Colorado from 1989-’90; and served as an assistant wrestling coach at North Dakota State from 1988-’89. Originally from Anoka, Minn., Goeb received his undergraduate degree at North Dakota State, where he was also a Division II national wrestling champion. Goeb earned his master’s from Northern Colorado and doctorate from North Dakota. He and his wife Carol have two daughters, Amber and Anne and a son, Jordan.
