Hanson a semifinalist for Bemidji State job

[tony]

iPrez Hanson is one of two semifinalists for the Bemidji State President's job. Bemidji State might add some more names for consideration.

[NDSUstudent]

Good luck to Hanson, hopefully he gets the job.

[ndsubison1]

Too bad UND doesnt have an opening

[NDSUFan_Sav]

if he wins their hockey program they've been building up could go downhill.

[lakesbison]

Ill be in bemidji for work tomorrow. GUESS WHO IS GONNA BE HIS BIGGEST BOOSTER HAS 2 THUMBS??


THIS GUY!!!

[Tatanka]

Too bad UND doesnt have an opening

++ Damn shame. He even has the support of the school bulletin, er, the Herald!

[aces1180]

Dammit...I bet he'll ask that they tear down the new hockey arena they are building before the Beavers get to play a game in it.

First he goes to my favorite school, now he comes to my current city? Not cool.

Amen to that, good god someone start writing some editorials to the Bemidji papers. The faster the better.

“We’ve been continuing to raise money for projects at NDSU,” he said. “We have a $34 million major renovation on our athletic facility, and we have about $29 million raised right now.”

So, we are still looking for $5 million to get the project started??

[WYOBISONMAN]

And......Hanson never had anything to do with that fund raising. My god, that guy is beyond all pale. What a looser.......:smh: He can't get out of here soon enough.

[ndsubison1]

“Can you see me OK?” the broad-framed, almost 7-foot candidate humorously asked the audience.

So that's what that big blob is at the front of the room

[QUOTE=johnson;366373]“We’ve been continuing to raise money for projects at NDSU,” he said. “We have a $34 million major renovation on our athletic facility, and we have about $29 million raised right now.”

He also is rumored to have said "We are very pleased with the Research Park that I initiated after I got here." Doofus.

Hanson is a finalist for the BSU job...That sound you hear is Hardee's jumping for joy knowing their yearly business just tripled.

[TransAmBison]

I think it is quite ironic that in the Forum today there is an article about Hanson being a finalist for the Bemidji State job, and it is on the same page as the obituaries.

[DORMIE]

Had coffee and doghnuts etc. at the Presidents house this AM before an Alumni Awards meeting at the Alumni Center and talked to Dick about the Bemidji job. I told him it had to be a no brainer. He seems to be a great fit and seems to feel very good about his chances for the job. He actually was a pretty good interim president with a lot of challenges. Good luck to him in Bemidji.

[ndsubison1]

I'm calling a spade a spade. I would be embarrassed to have him as my actual president. Thank god we passed him up

Wow, seriously wow. I love when people can only say positive things. It really helps weeding out those you can't believe.

[tjbison]

Yeah the only good thing I can say about his interim is it almost over.

Seriously the guy did everything he could to be a detriment to the University. Look, I guess in the private he maybe had some good qualities as a leader, but he sure didn't make anyone in the general public feel that way, and when your trying to recruit students to your college and the President has the public speaking abilities of a monkey its not good. He will probably do fine at the much smaller BSU.

[NDSUstudent]

He should do fine at BSU. His folly here was running for the fulltime job, all it did was distract from what he did as an interim.

He did some good things here, his work on getting the budget squared away for the next president was good and I think having somebody with his mindset was a good contrast to Chapman. Different ideas never hurt anyone.

But like I said his campaigning for the fulltime gig hurt him. If that would have never happened I think he would have been solid as an interim. I wish him luck at BSU, he is an NDSU grad after all and I am convinced he only wanted what he thought was best for NDSU. He just lacked some of the skills/qualifications that are critical for a president of a national land grant university.

[TheBisonator]

BSU may be a learning experience for him, but I think he'll be able to do a decent job there.

Hanson didn't know how a university of 14,000 students was supposed to be run. In the end, I think he was just unaware of a lot of things. I don't think he was purposefully trying to bring NDSU down. He just didn't know what he was supposed to know.

[DjKyRo]

Dammit...I bet he'll ask that they tear down the new hockey arena they are building before the Beavers get to play a game in it.

Take one for the team and move to Grand Forks, maybe he'll run UND into the ground next.

Looks like he is the winner, winner, chicken dinner.

[DjKyRo]

I won't say I'm not glad he's leaving but I wish him luck at his next job.

[ndsubison1]

I feel sorry for the folks of Bemidji I really do

[cbline]

It is official. Now, he REALLY IS a beaver.

[aces1180]

As long as he keeps out of the hockey's team's business, I doubt there many people will care. If he starts f**king with them, there will be hell to pay. People are pretty passionate up here about the BSU squad, especially with the brand- new arena and them joining the WCHA.

The happiest people in Bemidji are the owners of McDonald's.

Bemidji is one of those "junk-food paradise" towns. Like Brainerd or Alexandria. I'm sure Hanson can't wait to get there.:D

On edit: I found that there's two McDonald's in bemidji. For a population of only 13,541 people.

They took down the ad, but it was from Sanford congratulating him on his new job.

Oh, and its Hardees that is excited!

There's more than 13,000 people in Bemidji...It's actually growing at quite the rate. As far as fast-food goes, there is a lot more than just McDonald's, BK, etc. We have two awesome, authentic Mexican restaurants, a great Chinese place hidden downtown, an authentic Italian restaurant and pretty decent pubs where you can get burgers, etc.

Most people think the food in Bemidji sucks, but you just need to know where to go...There are a lot of hidden, off the beaten path places here and I'm happy I get the chance to eat at them.

*No, I do not work at the Bemidji Chamber...I just know there is more than meets the eye here.

There is always more than meets the eye. The issue is, is that everywhere elses's more than meets the eye, is more than Bemidji's more than meets the eye. :)

I hope your not referring to the Chinese place by Union Station, becuase it sucks.

What are the Mexican restaurants? If one of them is T Juan's, well, that sucks as well.

The couple of people that I know in Bemidji that actually get out of Bemidji on a routine basis all think the food in Bemidji sucks.

[IzzyFlexion]

I'll come by and have some authentic Mexican with you, Aces. I extremely unfussy and love those kind of joints. Ever notice how the level of service and smiling is always extremely high at authentic Mexican restaurants? I mean, they're always so damn nice and friendly. That goes a long way with me!

Tijuan's closed. Mi Rancho and La Mariachi both opened within the last nine months and they are awesome. Same family owns both and they are great people.

Chinese place is downtown...Pretty good.

Not to mention Slim's and Cattails.

I guess I don't understand the backlash about the food here...I've been here for almost 8 months and the only place I won't go back to is Ground Round.

[SavageBison]

Combats at the Cork in Bemidji. OK, it's booze not food, but I do remember eating some popcorn if that counts.

I'll have to check out those places next time I'm up there.

I've had a lot of horrible dining experiences in Bemidji, so it's not really backlash. I've had good meals at the Peppercorn, Union Station, and Stats (think it's closed- used to be in the upper level of the strip mall where the Chinese place is downtown), and had some pretty bad meals at a lot of places including some of the worst fast-food ever.

Yeah, Union Station and Stats are closed.

The other Chinese place is really good, right by Ben Franklin.

I haven't been to Peppercorn yet, but have heard it is up and down.

I know you have had bad fast-food up here, but nothing like that for me so far.

Trust me, however, the Mexican restaurants are great.

I haven't tried the Mexican places yet but I will be in town this weekend. Are you going to be around? Send me a PM if you are.

I think Dick Hanson will be much better off in a job in which he doesn't deal with the media so much. Good luck to him.

BTW, how's Brigid's Cross Pub in Bemidji?

[lakesbison]

goto palace casino restaurant! (thatsmy client.haha)

whats that new place on southside of lake? thats good eats!!

ps-amused sure doesnt post anymore,hmmm wonder why? haha

Sparkling Waters? I haven't been there yet, but heard you can get just as good a meal at Green Mill across the street for half the price...The Green Mill has been really good for the half a dozen times we have been here so far.

I think we should change this thread title to "Where Aces likes to eat, but where Bisonguy would definitely never eat again because it all tastes like goat crap".

He's cutting programs left and right at BSU.

And today, he just cut the Theater program.

http://www.bemidjipioneer.com/event/article/id/100025447

I'm glad he is not the president of NDSU. I saw him at Target last week and wanted to throw him the horns and a "Hail," but he was with his wife, so I figured I better just forget it.

[lakesbison]

Buthockey?

[aces1180]

Buthockey?

That's the only thing that is barely making money here. If you read the article, he cut the men's track & field program.

[TransAmBison]

I find it funny that this thread turned into a thread about where Aces liked to eat but others didn't. Kind of ironic. Maybe moronic? Is it just me? Hello? buthockey?

What a train wreck. he should just be shipped to siberia or something

[Twentysix]

That guy disgusts me.

Maybe im not as in the know anymore, but I havent heard our "Financial Crisis" talked about in ages now that no one remembers Interm president whats his name....the guy after chapman before brescani.

[mebisonII]

Still nothing's changed....all you hear from him is "Look how terrible things are. Shame, shame. Everything's bad, but I'll try to make it a little less bad. We're too big, gotta downsize."

The guy couldn't put a positive spin on a cation.

[Ferd]

Notice that the President of MSUM also announced staff reductions were coming there.

Note also that Mn has a huge (6 B$) budget deficit and ND has a projected $1 Billion dollar balance.

Tough to run a school without money. No money = cuts. Something has to give.

[aces1180]

I can agree with that...However, he has no PR skills and could make the cuts sting less by just coming off more caring. People and students are losing the things they love and he just seems to care about the budget.

He's not well liked in Bemidji because of that, just like what he did at NDSU.

Yup, I would imagine some cuts are unavoidable. But.....that guy it socially retarded when it comes to dealing with issues such as that and with the media. I bet he is a short timer at BSU. He will cut in his half assed way, piss lots of people off.....and then get the axe.
