Full 2026 preseason preview for Missouri State, with returning production, the portal, a two-deep and the schedule.

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

https://www.sports.mainmarket.com/college-football-preview-2026?team=ncaaf-most

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.

Tailgating for 2026 - The Hurst

So I am coming to see the Lobos host Mercyhurst. I am a former Laker and alum ('90) but I am also on a quest to go to all 138 FBS stadiums (see somanystadiums.com). Anyway, the tailgating info on the Lobos site for 2026 isn't up yet. So I understand the East lot is best spot for tailgating. Can anyone confirm that it is a first-come, first served, cash lot? And does anyone have a ballpark amount?

Also, if you have any tips or Lobos traditions I should know about please let me know.

Thanks in advance, Tree
