Fans will soon have the chance to start their mornings with a cup of coffee and a conversation with the new Bears head coach.
Starting on Aug. 28, MSU and Dana Ford will host "Coffee with Coach" sessions at Big Momma's Coffee and Espresso Bar at 217 E. Commercial St. in Springfield.
Each month, fans can ask the new coach questions about the basketball team at an informal "coffee shop" session.
