Hey all. I spent the offseason building a full 2026 preseason preview for every FBS team, each with its own writeup. Here's the Missouri State one

It's got the returning production breakdown, the portal ins and outs, a projected two-deep, the schedule with model win probabilities, and a season projection.

Heads up, you might hit the paywall after the first page. Don't worry, I'm not charging reddit people for this, don't want to be an ass. Use the promo code LEECORSOROCKS and it opens up the entire thing.

So, what'd I get wrong? Casey Woods takes over for his first year and Jacob Clark's 3,244 yards and 28 touchdowns are gone, replaced by Duke transfer Henry Belin IV, who has 22 career passing yards. That offense was 16th nationally in passing yards per game last season, and the line that has to protect the new guy gave up 52 sacks. Only 26% of production returns, 19 came in through the portal, and the model has the Bears 110th. Does Woods hold 7-6 together, or is this the year it resets?

I'll be in the comments.

Went to the fan fest/practice game today. AWESOME turn out it seems. The cheerleaders were all there greeting us, staff was pleasant and thanking everyone showing up.
Everything looks great! It also seems like they have a decent amount of work left to do. To the ones that went today, what do yall think? GTG! 🐅🏈💙

Also…small rant. My group and I got there around 2:30 waiting for the gates to open. Once gates opened, they were moving! Took us about 5-10 minutes to get in.
But, to all the people that decided that they were too good to stand in line with the rest of us and weaseled their way in skipping everyone, y’all are assholes. A group went RIGHT in-front of us and we were shocked. They looked back at the line(it was long, but like I said, it was moving quickly), and just decided they were better than everyone. So I decided to be passive aggressive talking amongst my group at a decent volume level on how crazy it is and entitled people are. Like why is that acceptable?
