the 2009 SeaSon

There is a distinct air of optimism revolving around the 2009 Bemidji State University foot-ball team. In his 14th season at the helm of the Bemidji State program, Head Coach Jeff Tesch, knows that the team is poised to bounce back from a 5-6 season which saw it finish eighth in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference stand-ings at 4-6, while its 3-3 mark in divisional play slotted the Beavers third in the NSIC North. After 10 consecutive winning seasons during the Tesch era, the season may have been a disap-pointment, but the cards were stacked against the Beavers’ favor from the opening kickoff. The expansion of the NSIC to 14 teams and the inclusion of four regionally-recognized pow-erhouse programs, three of which were on BSU’s 2008 schedule, coupled with the fact that BSU returned just eight starters to its 2008 line up, the Beavers had their work cut out for them. How-ever, after a rough initiation into league pay, the young, talent-laden roster began to mature and ended the season winning three of its last four outings and finished the season with a 4-1 record at Chet Anderson Stadium to extend its streak of home winning seasons to seven. Obviously one of the benefits of pushing young players into action early, is the real game experience they get. This season the Beavers return 18 of 22 starters and have key position players in place with high level of NCAA Division competition under their belts. “With such a large group of returners back having game experience and a schedule that is more in our favor we should be a better football team,” said Tesch. “You’ve got to have the game experience and the game reps. Those situations just can’t be replicated in practice. “Our young players just kept getting better and better as the year went on. We won three of our last four games and that progress really began to show,” Tesch added, “We’ve got a lot of enthusiasm, a lot of excitement and a lot of optimism for this season.”

offenSe QuarterbackThe offense looks to again be in the hands of Second-Team All-NSIC quarterback Derek Ed-

holm, who started 10 games for the Beavers in 2008. Although things may not have started the way he envisioned, Edholm settled in the posi-tion during the back half of the season to quietly emerge as one of the NSIC’s elite signal call-ers. The sophomore finished the season ranked fourth in NSIC passing yardage (212.2 yd/gm) and touchdown passes (17), while posting the league’s best completion percentage at a BSU single-season-best 65.1. “Derek was a really good football player for us last year,” said Tesch. “In the last four games of the season, he played as well as anyone in the league.” He added, “He ended up being the second-team all-conference quarterback, which shows the respect other coaches have for him.” Edholm piled up 12 touchdown passes in the Beavers’ last five games, leading BSU to victory in three of the last four. He showed glimpses of his versatility rushing for an average of over 30 yards per game during that same span includ-ing a season-long, 50-yard scamper in the 2008 finale. As good as the staff feels about Edholm, they are comfortable with the up-and-coming talent pool. Lance Rongstad has yet to make is collegiate debut, but the proven winner pos-sesses a tremendous skill set and spent last season as a redshirt getting acclimated to the system. After a great spring, he appears to be ready to make an impact. “We feel like Lance is a starting-caliber quar-terback,” said Tesch. “He is a great athlete that we need to get on the field in some shape or form.”

running BackThe offensive backfield is a spot Tesch and his staff know they have talent, ability and depth. Brandon Miles led the team in rushing last

year with 379 yards and five touchdowns in 11 games despite working in a rush-by-committee offense. In addition, he emerged as the Beavers’ best receiving threat out of the backfield averag-ing nearly 10 yards per grab. “Brandon just makes a lot of plays and that is his strength. He runs really hard, is very ag-gressive and improved his pass-blocking and consistency down in and down out last spring.” The 14th-year head coach added, “We are re-ally excited about what he has in store.” Beyond Miles, redshirt freshman Dustin Kroeplin has made a strong impression on the coaching staff and may challenge for playing time. “Kroeplin is guy who just keeps getting bet-ter and better,” commented Tesch. “There is no doubt there is a lot of ability there.” After a checkered prep career at Owen-With-ee High School, during which the standout ran for more than 2,400 yards, he has continued to train and prove he is ready to play at the colle-giate level. Of his running back corps, Tesch said, “We expect the bulk of the carries to be handled by Miles and Kroeplin.” The Beavers’ depth begins with Eurise Wat-son. A senior who has battled injuries through-out his career, Watson has shown flashes of greatness in the green and white. As a sopho-more, he rushed for more than 700 yards and seven touchdowns to rank third in the NSIC in both categories. Last season, he ran for just 163 yards in limited action, but took the team on his back, running for three touchdowns in a 31-20 homecoming victory over Northern State and Lake Bemidji plunge Sept. 27.

Bemidji State roster is at the wide receiver posi-tion. George Kadlec, a four-year starter, posted 934 yards on 55 catches in 2008. In addition, he pulled in a BSU single-season best 14 touch-down catches and leaves the school as its all-time touchdown receptions leader with 26. According to Tesch, instead of being a one-dimensional passing game with a go-to target, the 2009 Beavers will look to tap the efficiency and accuracy of their quarterback and look to use all of their weapons. “Instead of being, one-man show on offense, I think you’ll see us spread the ball around a bit more this season.” Headlining a receiving corps tabbed by Tesch as one of the most talented and deep he’s had in place since coming to Bemidji State in 1996, will be junior Andrew Schultz. Schultz has been a consistent possession receiver for Bemidji State during each of the last two season. He’s quickly accumulated 65 re-ceptions and has averaged nearly 10 yards per catch during that time. The Beavers also bring Cameron Abram and Justin Lee into the fold after both battled injury in 2008. Abram played in nine games, but was less than 100-percent for most of the season. Lee has yet to catch a collegiate pass or log a sin-gle minute of playing time but has been on the roster for the past two seasons. A redshirt in 2007, Lee turned heads on the scout team and in spring ball. Unfortunately, he was injured in preseason drills last fall and spent the season rehabilitating an injury. “We are going to move Cameron Abram to the outside and utilize his speed a bit more this

season.” Tesch continued, “We are also excited to get a talented player like Justin Lee back. We are hoping he can be one of those exciting playmakers out of the mold of the Anthony Sch-reiber, Michael Nordyke or Jason Leden.” In addition, junior Adam Berg and sopho-more Jody Henningson are back in pads this fall. Berg ranked third on the team with 29 re-ceptions in 11 games a year ago, while Henning-son saw time as a true freshman and hauled in 26 passes for nearly 300 yards.

tight end The BSU offense spent little time incorpo-rating a tight end into offensive formations in 2008 due to a lack of experience and bodies. Entering 2009, Tesch and his staff are optimis-tic about young, yet unproven talent at the tight end position. Brian Leonhardt is the most likely candi-date to fill the role this fall. The 6-5, 240-pound red shirt freshman is a tremendous athlete and despite being new to the position, has an out-standing upside. “Brian Leonhardt is a big, strong kid that is finding his way around the tight end position,” commented Tesch. “He doesn’t have much game experience at that spot so we don’t want to rush him into anything, but he has potential to do some good things out there.”

fullback The fullback position is one that is a bit of an unknown for the Beavers. Jeremy Gettel, who had been around the BSU program since the 2003 campaign, graduated in the spring of 2009 and not unlike his play, leaves a gaping hole in his wake. “The loss of Jeremy to this team can’t be evaluated by yards-per-carry or fancy catches,” said Coach Tesch. “What we will miss most about him is his leadership.” The top prospect to fill the void physically is

sophomore Nate Solors. As a freshman, Solors saw time in all 11 games, but carried the ball only two times for a grand total of six yards, log-ging most of his time on the special teams unit. “Nate Solors played last year and did some good things.” Tesch continued, “He may be more athletic and maybe catches the ball a little bit better [than Gettel], so we feel like we’ll be okay there though we don’t have much depth.”

offensive line The Beavers return four of five starting offensive linemen for 2009 and although Nathan Mahlik will be difficult to replace after starting the last 34 games at right tackle, Tesch feels confident that his young ‘hogs’ are battle tested and ready to rise to the occasion this fall. “Other than quarterback, I am not sure there is a spot on the field that just needs more reps and game experience to become a good player than on the offensive line. You just can’t jump in there,” said Tesch. “The experience that we have back on the offensive line is probably the biggest reason we are further ahead coming into this season than we were a year ago.” Tesch seems to have the left side of the line penciled in, returning Davis Mickelson at tackle and Chad Whaley at the guard spot after the two combined for 21 games played a year ago. According to Tesch, Steve Pappas may also find some time at the left guard spot after com-ing along nicely during his freshman season. Cory Immerman is a lock to anchor the line as its center. Immerman stepped in as a redshirt freshman an showed the ability to consistently handle the pressure of the position in addition to dealing with injury. Look to see Jordan Anderson flank Immer-man’s right side again this year after finding a home at the right guard position as a true fresh-man last fall.

“Our biggest concern coming into this sea-son is our right tackle position. It’s not easy to replace a second-team all-conference player and four-year starter like Nathan Mahlik,” said Tesch. Papapa Nicholas-Silvira and Alonzo Melton seem to have a leg up on the rest of the tackle candidates. “Papapa has a lot of ability, but is a trans-fer that is still trying to learn the system.” Tesch added, “Alonzo is a young guy that just keeps getting better and better.” “As the cliche goes, you can never have enough big guys in there and this year we don’t have enough,” commented Tesch. “We don’t have a lot of depth in the trenches so staying healthy becomes that much more important.”

defenSe

defensive line One year removed from attempting to fill holes in the ‘Gang Green’ defense left by two of its top 10 tacklers of all time, a NSIC Defen-sive Player of the Year and all three of its starting linemen, the 2009 defensive unit is in a very dif-ferent situation as it returns eight starters, which includes four players who gained all-conference recognition at the conclusion of the 2008 cam-paign. The 2009 edition of the defensive line is very much the same as last fall. Rob Wills and Jor-dan Lardinois will bookend Brian Wick who will almost certainly hold down the nose tackle spot.

Wills came on last season and ended up as a second-team all-conference player ranking seventh on the Beavers’ tackles list with 52 to-tal stops (17s-25a). He also ranked second on the team in both sacks (4.0) and tackles for loss (7.5). Lardinois is as physically gifted as any line-man on the roster. Returning 35 tackles (15s-20a), which include 6.0 tackles for loss and a quarterback sack, the BSU coaching staff is ready for a breakout season from the junior. Wick was a player that did a great job clog-ging up the middle last season, but Tesch said they’ll try to free him up a bit more to make plays and, at least initially, that could mean some big things for the senior. “We have three guys we feel comfortable with as far as experience goes and when you throw a Kyle McMartin in there, we feel like we are in very good shape.” Tesch continued, “Kyle’s value to this team is measured more along the lines of a Jeremy Gettel. He brings both leader-ship and depth to the line.”

linebackers A look just a few yards behind the line reveals another bright spot for the 2009 Beavers. “This is the most talented group of lineback-ers we’ve had here in a long time,” commented Tesch. Headlining the group is the Beavers’ leading tackler from 2008. Jake Anderson, a Second-Team All-NSIC selection, piled up 70 tackles (32s-38a), which included a team-leading 11.5 tackles for loss and a BSU-best 4.5 sacks. In ad-dition, Anderson picked off three passes to rank second among his teammates, while he forced three fumbles.

“An all-conference caliber player, Jake is an emotional leader and our captain,” said Tesch before adding, “We are looking for him to cap his playing career with a great senior season.” Andrew Eagan ranked second on the team in tackles with 68 (32s-36a) and garnered honor-able mention all-conference accolades last year as one of only four sophomores to gain a spot on the All-NSIC North defensive squad. Along side Eagan, Gary Miller seems to have a grasp on the other inside linebacker spot after filling that role in 11 games last season as a junior college transfer. Adding depth on the outside, Luke Knutson and George Percak-Dennett will compete for time. “Luke is a young guy, but received some all-conference honors after erupting onto the scene half way through the year,” said Tesch. “George Percak-Dennett is another player we are excited to have back. He’s one of those players that has a ton of ability and was just on fire this spring.”

defensive BacksOn the defensive side of the ball, there is no doubt that the secondary is surrounded by the most uncertainty. “We lost a player in Terrell Phelps who played at a high level, earned first-team all-con-ference accolades and eventually got a tryout with the Minnesota Vikings, so there are some big shoes to fill there,” commented Tesch. With that said, he believes this is an area where the Beavers have a lot of potential, the players just haven’t had their chance to prove themselves.

Two players highlighted by Tesch were Charles Hrdlicka and Sid Johnson. Hrdlicka is a highly-touted red shirt freshman that pos-sesses great speed, while Johnson saw his roles increase as the 2008 season rolled on. “We can get by with some less experienced players of the guys up front can pressure the quarterback and make some things happen up there,” said Tesch.

Safeties The safety positions are also up for grabs this fall. Dusty Sluzewicz, who finished his freshman campaign with 63 tackles (30s-33a), an interception and a fumble recovery, seems to have one spot locked down, but the other is very much up in the air. Brody Scheff emerged as a possibility last spring, but according to Tesch, there are sev-eral young players such as Zach Wold and Jake Kelly and that may see time at the position until they are settled.

SpeCial teamS As with any unit on a football team, the suc-cess starts up front in the trenches and according

to Tesch, the Beavers’ special teams squad is built upon a solid foundation. “We feel like we’ve got as good a long snapper as there is in the conference in Jordan Lardinois,” said Tesch. Following the snap back to the kicking game, sophomore Jesse Sundby looks handle the place-kicking, kickoff and punting duties. After all-region kicker/punter Paul Potemra was sidelined with an injury early in 2008, Sundby was thrust into action as a redshirt freshman. He took full advan-tage of his chances finishing a perfect six-for-six in extra-point opportunities and averaged nearly 37 yards per punt. Nate Solors will add depth in the kicking game, but as a position player doesn’t get the reps he needs to really make himself a first-string candidate. “We’ve got high expectations for our return game,” commented Tesch. “We’ve got Andrew Schultz back there to return punts who ended up third in the conference last season.” Tesch said the Beavers will also look to the speed and big play capabilities of red shirt freshman Justin Lee along side Schultz. “In the kick return game, we have a lot of ‘100-yard-dash speed’ back there, we just need to find that guy that can hit the seam at full speed.” “Tiger” Ellison seems to be the most likely candidate after averaging nearly 20-yards per return last season. Redshirt freshman Charlie Hrdlicka, who was one of the top 100-meter runners in the state a senior in high school, is another op-

tion, while Anthony Ragsdale, a junior college transfer, has breakaway speed giving BSU three looks that possess speed and big-play capabil-ity.

SChedulePlaying in the rough and tumble NSIC is no walk in the park for any of its member teams. Widely regarded as one of the elite college foot-ball leagues at the NCAA Division II level, the Beavers will definitely have their work cut out for them. In addition to hosting the defending national champion University of Minnesota Du-luth, the Beavers will also go head to head with Wayne State College and Minnesota State Uni-versity, both of which finished 2008 among the top 25 in the country and were NCAA Playoff participants. The Beavers open their 84th campaign ver-sus Minot State University Aug. 27 under the lights of Chet Anderson Stadium in the 12th an-nual ‘Beaver Bash.’ Other highlights of the season include: a Sept. 5 trip to Mankato, Minn. to battle a Min-nesota State team that pulled down the No. 18 spot in the Sporting News Division II Preseason Top-25 Poll, a Sept. 12 meeting with Winona State University in BSU’s annual Shrine Game, a clash with St. Cloud State University Oct. 3 in the Beaver’s Homecoming Game and a con-test Oct. 24 in which BSU hosts the top-ranked UMD Bulldogs in the 2009 home finale. Tesch is pleased with the 2009 schedule.Although the Beavers are slated to take on some of the top teams in the country, many of the toughest draws will take place on their own field--a place where BSU has posted seven con-secutive winning seasons and won 71-percent of its games (44-18) since Tesch took the reigns of the program in 1996. “Ideally we’ll continue to get great support at home,” Tesch said before adding, “Hopefully our fans will come out and realize just how good these teams and this conference are.”

u Moorhead State (Minn.) ‘78 u 14th season at Bemidji Stateu 83-57 (.593) overall record u BSU career leader in coaching victoriesu 1998 & 2006 NSIC Coach of the Year

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 unprecedented era of success. All-America hon-orees. 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 championship 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 83-57 record at BSU and led the Beavers to a school-record streak of 10 consecu-tive winning seasons stretching from 1998-2007. Dur-ing that historic streak his teams have posted four of the five eight-win seasons for a program now in its 84th 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 83 wins represent nearly 28 percent of the pro-gram’s all-time victories. He has averaged six wins a season at a program which in 70 years prior to his ar-rival averaged barely three victories each fall. In fact, Tesch’s 83 wins in 13 years are more than the number

of victories garnered by the Bemidji State program in the 29 full seasons prior to his arrival — 81. 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 among the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference’s coaching deans as well. Now entering his 14th 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 15th 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 in-augural 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 Classic, BSU’s first win in the ‘Dome since downing Augsburg, 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-ending win in 1996, picking up a 25-21 win over St. John’s (Minn.) in its 1997 opener. That win, highlight-ed 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 drop-ping its final two contests to finish the 1997 season at 2-8.

Tesch’s resurrection of the BSU program began in earnest in 1998, as he led it to a 6-4 overall record and a third-place finish in the NSIC. BSU won three con-secutive 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 finished 6-4-1. BSU finished 4-2 against the NSIC, marking 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-sea-son 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 sea-son in school history. BSU set a school record in 1999 with three 50-point scoring games. The first of BSU’s three half-century efforts 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 Concordia-St. Paul and a 53-20 win over Minn.-Morris. Then in 2000, a record-setting offense helped pro-pel BSU to arguably the finest single-season perfor-mance 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 Beavers 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 honor-able mention all-league quarterback Geoff Martinson, the BSU offense established 10 school season re-cords 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 Divi-sion II and joined with an historic 65-63, quadruple-overtime Homecoming win over Southwest State, BSU joined Northwest Missouri State as the only Divi-sion 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 partici-pants 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 pass-ing offense. Along the way, BSU shattered 16 team s i n g l e - s e a s o n 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 largest group in school history and equal to BSU’s total of First-Team All-NSIC players in 1999 and 2000. Acosta was named NSIC Offensive Player of the Year, and Jason Leden earned a school-record fifth All-NSIC honor. An 0-3 start and a season-ending injury to Acosta, 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 conference 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 selections since 1998, and also earned a spot on an All-Midwest 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 Conference 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 re-bounded 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 sea-son under his watch and the fourth in school history. BSU tied for second in the NSIC standings, its high-est finish 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, break-ing school season records for scoring (422), rushing yardage (2,519) and rushing touchdowns (33) while becoming 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 invitation to a free-agent minicamp tryout with the Minnesota 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 Beaver 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, en route 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 13-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 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 champion-ship three consecutive seasons before Tesch’s departure in 1996. In addi-tion to coaching duties, Tesch helped the Sioux achieve a 92 percent gradu-ation 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 27 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 14th season as Bemidji State’s defensive coordinator and recruiting coordi-nator and his eighth season with the title of Assistant Head Coach. Under Jahner’s watch, the BSU defense has consistently ranked among the NSIC elite units, while making regular appearances in the NCAA rankings. In 2007, as the Beavers led NSIC against the run for the second con-secutive season, allowing an average of just over 70 yards per game. Five times BSU held opponents to less than 40 yards on the ground. The Bea-vers finished second in the NSIC giving up just over 300 yards of total of-fense per game while opponents 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 2008, giving BSU a total of 53 All-NSIC picks on defense under Jahner. Thirty-eight of those picks have come in the last seven 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.

u Co-Defensive Coordinatoru Cornell College (Iowa) ‘98u 10th season at Bemidji State

Brent Bolte enters his 10th season on the Bemidji State coaching staff and his seventh 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 Co-ordinator in 2005. During his seven years as linebacker coach, Bolte developed a First- or Second-Team All-NSIC selection each year. He extended that streak in 2008 when Jake Anderson earned Second-Team All-NSIC accolades. The heart and soul of the BSU defensive unit, Anderson paced the team in five statisti-cal categories including tackles for Loss (11.5) and forced fumbles (3), each of which he also finished among the top five in the NSIC. Anderson is just the most recent example of the type of player Bolte has consistently turned out. He’s also helped mold the careers of players like Zach Christ, a 2006 and 2007 All-NSIC pick who finished his career ranked eighth on the BSU assisted tackles list with 168 while piling up 241 career stops and Jon Aamot, who was named Second-Team All-NSIC in 2003. He finished as BSU’s career leader in solo tackles (157) and finished second in total tackles (362). In 2002, Bolte helped continue BSU’s 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 among 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.

Jere Kubuske is in his second campaign coaching the Bemidji State defensive back corps. During his first season, Kubuske helped guide First-Team All-Conference selection and Don Hansen Football Gazette and Daktronics All-Region pick Terrell Phelps to a record-breaking campaign. With 19 passes defended and five interceptions, Phelps quickly earned respect from opposing offensive coordinators, while the senior also ranked fifth on the team with 63 tackles.

Kubuske came 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.

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 con-ference, 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 ac-ademic 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. The 2008-09 campaign featured another expansion. The league blossomed to 14 teams with the addition of Augustana College, inclusion of three institutions with roots in the NIC, NSC and NSIC in Uni-versity of Minnesota Duluth, Minnesota State University and St. Cloud State University. The addition of these four regionally recognized institutions pushed the NSIC into the upper echelon of NCAA Division II athletics. 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 con-ference for the 77 years of its existence. Minnesota Duluth, which departed following the 2003-04 season and returned 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 Divi-sion III ranks in 2003. The 2008-09 season is one of transition for the NSIC. The league will expand to 14 teams with the addition of Minnesota State University, Mankato, Augustana College, St. Cloud State Univer-sity and Minnesota Duluth. Before the NSIC became eligible for National Col-legiate Athletic Association (NCAA) championship competition 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 champi-onship teams and individuals as well as many national qualifiers. Following the 2004-05 season, Winona State be-came 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 Championship 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 championship to their basketball trophy case (2007-08) while Concordia University-St. Paul garnered a vol-leyball national championships in 2007 and 2008 and Minnesota Duluth made a run through the 2008 NCAA football playoffs and pulled down the league’s team na-tional title since 2006. 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 Quar-terback 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 Intercol-legiate Athletics Association (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 meeting in 2000 marked the Mineral Water Bowl’s inaugural year of the Division II era. Win-ona State defeated Missouri Western State, 43-41, in triple overtime, marking the Warriors first-ever postsea-son 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 2009-10 sports season. Over the years, the NSIC, comprised of schools of modest size, has provided extremely competitive intercollegiate athletic programs for its members. Al-though 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, entertainment 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 confer-ence 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 44-18 record at Chet Anderson Stadium (.710) which includes five-game home winning streaks from Oct. 23, 1999 to Sep. 15, 2001, from Sept. 28, 2003 to Aug. 28, 2004, from Oct. 16, 2004 to Oct. 29, 2005 and most recently, Octy. 21, 2006 to Sept. 29, 2007. BSU has won 10 of its last 12 games played at Chet Anderson Stadium dating back to an Oct. 21, 2006 win over Winona State, with the only two losses in that span coming to Wayne State College (Neb.) en route to its 2007 Mineral Water Bowl bid and eventual 2008 NCAA Playoff participant MInnesota State University, Mankato. 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 lake-shore 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 PhD 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 organiza-tions, 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 system took place during halftime with a crowd of 1,500 in attendance. Bemidji State president M.W. Deputy, Mr. F.J McPartlin and Mr. H.Z. Mitchell spoke at the dedica-tion 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 concrete 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 pro-vided 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 project is the exact location of today’s field. Throughout spring and summer of 1940, work con-tinued 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 com-plete 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 bleach-ers completed the estimated capacity of the stadium was 3,500. The present-day stadium and field has undergone modifi-cations 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, bring-ing 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 programBemidji 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 yearS the 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. 6, 1927. 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.

nCaa division ii trophy gamesFollowing is a list of the current Division II trophy games, including the year the trophy was first exchanged.

The 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 convoca-tion. 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.

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 under-went 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.

As Director, he oversees all publicity and media relations opera-tions for BSU’s 17-sport athletics department, and directly handles communi-cations for the university’s football, men’s hockey, golf and track and field programs. Entering his 10th year in the athletic media relations field, Folkestad was promoted to the Director post in the spring of 2007. Folkestad has spent seven years of pro-fessional career at BSU. Starting with a two-year stint as a graduate assistant in 2002, he returned as the Assistant SID in the fall of 2004 after a one-year assignment in the same capac-ity at the University of Minnesota Duluth.

In addition to serving as the men’s and women’s basketball contact during each of the first four years in the business, Folkestad’s interests and experience in collegiate basket-ball run deep. He has volunteered at numer-ous conference, regional and national tourna-ments including the 2003 and 2006 NCAA Division I Men’s Midwest Regional Tournament in Minneapolis, Minn., the 2005 NCAA Division II Elite Eight in Grand Forks, N.D. at the 2003 NCAA Division II Women’s Frozen Four.

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 academic and student affairs. As the chief academic officer of the institution, he was responsible for aca-demic programming in three colleges, integrative

studies, distance learning, academic services, international student services, counseling, career services, the American Indian Resource Center, and stu-dent 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.

dr. riCk goeBdirector of athleticsNorth Dakota State University (1989)

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.
