No clue who applied, how the interviews went, etc. Do you really think Mannasau was "devalued" because he had a UND background? It seems like certain folks believe that people with UND ties should get the job over more qualified individuals, simply because of the "good old boy" angle. I believe everyone was judged based on their qualifications, and points were not given or taken away based on ties to UND. This is precisely how it should be, and is very refreshing. GO UND!
