The public will get their first opportunity to meet the 2007 Missouri State football team in the annual "Meet the Bears" at Plaster Field.  It takes place this Friday from 6-7pm and is open to the public.  Fans can pick up schedule posters and magnets, plus bring your camera to photograph your favorite players and get their autographs.

The Missouri Valley Conference announced its 2007 women’s soccer preseason coaches poll and the Bears were picked to finish fourth.   Missouri State will open their season at home on August 31st against Western Michigan

A tailgate fundraiser is planned to support the volleyball team prior to the start of their match on Friday September 14th against Northern Iowa.  $5 gets you a hot dog or steak sandwich, chips, drink, and Andy’s frozen custard.  For $5 more, you also get a t-shirt.  It runs from 5:45 to 6:45 in the south lot of the Hammons Student Center. 

And that’s Bears Bits.
