Terry Allen will turn Mo State around.

I expect a 6-5 maybe from Bears this year with better class. Little worried about the o line still. Just wonder how much it will improve.

I'm seeing more like 3-8. No playmakers at QB and little experience doesn't do much for my expectations, things will turn around, but not sure about 6-5 this year. The only possible "swing" games for me were UT-M, UCA, and WIU, but I expect all 3 teams to be better than MSU this year. Did you get to 6-5 with the wins I picked and those 3?

You guys are still 2-3 years away. Until T. Allen's recruits start to have a considerable impact on a game; you guys will not be good. I see 3 winnable games for you guys in '07; and perhaps and upset of one of the Illinois teams.

one of those 5 loses are coming from UCA

You guys will be really good in a few years. Would be an exciting time to be a Bears fan with all the changes!

I think 4-7 is pretty realistic. We should be able to beat Indiana St., SEMO, and UM-Rolla, but I think we should be able to steal at least one from the following three:

at UT-Martin
vs. UCA
at WIU

[ShowMeBear2]

I expect payback............Uca going down.

Tennessee-Martin is the defending OVC champion and has an All-American running back Donald Chapman back to lead what should be an even better team this season. The Skyhawks are not the same team that was a bottom feeder in FCS for many years. I don't see Missouri State winning this one.

Exaclty. I won't rule out stealing WIU or UCA, but I'm just not seeing 6-5. But AGS.

Fair enough. I wouldn't exactly rule us out, but you're right, that's without a doubt the least likely of the three I mentioned that we could win.

I say 4-7 is the most realsitic. We could go 6-5 but it would take a ton of breaks. We are at least two years from being a power, next year we will be a major pain in the butt.
