I’m from Springfield, MO and they are excited to have him. I also say their fanbase is passionate and similar to the Utah fanbase. They endured years of losing football and still supported the team.
Interestingly enough, Bobby Petrino is the coach at Mo State now and they have a lot of D1/P5 transfers. Notably Kyriq McDonald who went to Bama then Cincy. As long as Petrino can halfway keep it together there, Shelley should enjoy a successful season.
