There was a lame-duck president and lame-duck AD at the time that keys were handed to Mussman as I recall. His hire was a matter of expediency. I was never sure he earned the promotion...I guess out of the Lennon's staff he was the obvious choice. If there would have been time to look outside for candidates, I'm not so sure it would have turned out the same way. Just my $0.02.
I've been there several times also, when football is going on the same weekend, and when it's hockey only. Much more of a d-bag feel to it when the football is in town, but no real issues.
Speaking of Mussman and the media, anyone know if he's related to K-102 morning man and Vikings pre/post-game host Mike Mussman? Was watching the Jared Allen Show this morning on FSN and they could definitely pass for brothers.
Mussman will get one more year to right the ship IMO...unless the Jacks completely embarrass UND next week. But it does look awfully similar to the final Berhns years.
