Eli Drinkwitz fires shot at Ole Miss, SEC rivals for their recruiting tactics
Anyone questioning whether Eli Drinkwitz has what it takes to lead an SEC program off the field this offseason has been given plenty of indication that Mizzou’s new leader is the right man for the job.
He quickly assembled a coaching staff full of SEC experience and managed to keep defensive coordinator Ryan Walters, who received interest from other SEC programs this offseason, defensive line coach Brick Haley and secondary coach David Gibbs in Columbia in order to keep a level of continuity on the defensive side of the ball.
Come National Signing Day, Drinkwitz’s program even managed to beat out Alabama and Texas for Lone Star State defensive back Ennis Rakestraw. That win on the recruiting trail came after beating out several SEC programs to land receiver Kris Abrams-Draine leading up to the second signing period.
After walking the walk early in his tenure, Drinkwitz is now talking the talk and mixing it up with Missouri fans at a local Columbia function.
Check out what the Missouri coach had to say when discussing the recruiting tactics of some of his competitors, insinuating that Missouri won’t cheat like the Tigers’ competitors.
“I don’t think you have to do it the way the rest of the SEC does it,” Drinkwitz said according to Dennis Dodd of CBS Sports. “Ole Miss is going to try to do it the way they’ve always done it, right? You don’t have to do that at Mizzou.”
Just when it looked like Missouri may have made the low-key hire of the offseason in the SEC, Drinkwitz offered up that gem of a statement.
If you missed it back on National Signing Day, here’s Drinkwitz discussing the latest Mizzou signing class.
Calling out ole miss is one thing. Pretending Mizzou is the only school in the sec that doesn’t cheat is another. It is talking season but that’s a pretty dumb thing to say.
The guy seems to have a bit of a case of diarrhea of the mouth.
Well he’s from Arkansas, so that might explain it.
laughing
Yet you still hired him. Was that out of desperation, or something else not so flattering?
He chose Mizzou over Arkansas, as Arkansas was pursuing him too. It was a bidding war, and Mizzou beat Arkansas, per usual.
Arkansas did not want Drinkwitz, c’mon man.
Really? So Dennis Dodd at CBS Sports is just pulling that out of thin air to fill space in his article? So you believe that Mizzou gave Drink $4 million per year if no one else was interested? Right….
Arkansas was looking at Drink but he wanted the moon as far as salary and he was unproven. It had nothing to do about being outbid by Mizzou. It also happened with Kiffin and Ole Miss. Ark made an offer and we had a handshake but then Ole Miss made an offer, lower than Ark, and Kiffins agent had an idea of a bidding war but our AD didn’t want to play that game so removed the offer. Kiffin actually settled for less money!
We got our guy. Pittman loves Ark and has for many many years. He’s a great recruiter and players love him. And as for offensive genius, no such person. Players make any coach look like a genius so if you can recruit you instantly can become a genius!
If Arkansas wanted Drink Arkansas would have him. Drink was offered the job true BUT his agent attempted to turn it into a bidding war. Hunter Yurachek refused to overpay for a first time power 5 head coach with limited power 5 experience. While it is true that Arkansas did sign a first time head coach they did not overpay like they absolutely would have with Drink.
You missed it from the start: First Dennis Dodds likes to write for the Jayhawk consumers. Drink choose his words perfectly, and actually beat any trick question. Jayhawks are getting laughed at pretty loudly again this year by Mizzou Easterly and K-State westerly…who will probably levy concussions on them in record numbers since the shoe-Shame-hawks have pulled yet another “who can we get to pay boys to live in Lawrence for 5 years” incident. You would think they could get creative enough to mix up the cheating techniques a little.
Once again Wolf, you bring nothing to the table. Nobody cares about Kansas recruiting.
I guess you missed the FBI phone tap recording. But I’ll give you this much, your the expert on what “nobody” knows.
I really don’t think anyone who calls himself “inbred” should be talking about others.
Haha…if I’m not mistaken wasn’t Missouri the school on probation this year?
He s just trying to in over the fan base who are disappointed with his hire.
I’m not sure where that sentiment is coming from. Seems to me most folks are excited. I, for one, was happy Mizzou picked him over some of the other guys they supposedly were considering.
I wasn’t all that excited about his hire. But I liked him better than any coach named holtz who woulf wind up at ark anyway. Or anyone running a wishbone. His offensive style set him apart. Let’s see if He can keep the D trending on becoming more than solid. And his recruiting chops are better than we’ve had for a while.
We were never going to compete for elite coaches, or the most popular up-and-comers like Norvell. I was hoping for a young, energetic offensive guru. Drink really fit the bill, and I really believe that after another successful season at App State he would’ve been one of the hottest names on the coaching market. He’s learned under successful coaches and all levels. Considering the alternatives, I’m optimistic about Drink.
I’m happy you have a coach willing to work up his fan base and players. If the head coach is not going to be the head cheerleader for the program, you got a problem. Just tell him not to use the Florida Mullet example of talking smack for months about your #1 opponent and then losing to them.
He looks like he’d be the lame middle school principal in some sort of bland, coming-of-age movie.
Says the troll behind the keyboard. We care little of his physical prowess. There are plenty of dorky looking coaches, yours with the visor included.
The real troll is the butthurt coach accusing better teams of cheating while going berserk over signing a 3-star.
I think Michael Bratton wins the troll award. He’s the one who created this narrative just to get other SEC fans riled up. Winner winner chicken dinner!
Ok that’s fair.
“Kirby” says the same things about the UGA program.
Drink had a solid response to these kinds of comments:
“First off, I usually find former players are the worst coaches,” he said. “Could it help you? Great. Could it hurt you? Absolutely. Why? If I was going to have open-heart surgery, do I want somebody who had open-heart surgery, or do I want the best-trained doctor to do it? To me, I want the best-trained doctor who went to the best med school. The fat slob who’s already had open-heart surgery doesn’t need to do it, right?”
We’ll see how he does. He’s got his work cut out for him. His coaching prowess will show when he continues Mizzou’s tradition of beating teams who recruit better than us.
That’s kind of dumb response, a guy who has open heart surgery isn’t a surgeon so he wouldn’t know anything about it. A guy who plays foot ball and then moves on and learns to coach and then becomes a coach is not even close. It would be like saying Ben Carson had a heart attack so now he can’t perform open heart surgery.
Well to some degree I agree. All analogies break down at some point, but we can all agree that it isn’t a requirement for a heart surgeon to have experienced a heart attack to be a good surgeon. You just need to know what you’re doing and do it well.
Wasn’t Carson a brain surgeon? He better stay the hell away from hearts.
My bad, you are correct, he was a brain surgeon. So yea he may want to stay away from hearts lol.
the key words here are “better than us”, because what that really means is “better than the star rankers who have glasses on colored by whoever wants their recruits to get fanfare”. My latest and most enjoyable example KC Chiefs quarterback Pat Mahommes was rated 3 stars by 247, and Rivals tried even tried to back up on their 3 star ranking. That’s why Missouri puts more quarterbacks in the NFL than a lot of other programs put together. Naked and imaginary king syndrome I would call them, that’s why you never see individuals rater’s names attached. They couldn’t live their opinions down even in year one, and it gets worse from there all the way to the NFL.
Let’s all pause to applaud the NFL QB factory that is Mizzou real quick.
Truly a dynasty of field-generals.
Why can’t Missouri fans present more concise opinions with qualifiers that at least seem to founded on some type of sensible logic? There are a few of you on here. Sometimes I even agree with the just of a comment; but then I read all the included blather and the unbidden thought , “Missouri fans are just… Awful.” Just prances right into my brain. It’s not necessarily accurate, but it’s a direct result of my mistake of reading comments like the one above. I do want to make a game at Columbia, but then I see stuff like this. Drink s comment is spot on and hilarious, though.
Just curious, who and what are you referring to? I have a feeling that Wolfman gets more mileage than the rest of us in terms of public opinion of Mizzou fans on SDS. Many of us have disagreements with him, just food for thought.
That’s fair.
He looks like a young Kirby Smart with glasses!
Looks like the dork off Superbad..
Haha that’s right, also who oddly enough looks like a younger Kirby Smart with glasses!
I was curious about that statement so I read the article from CBS. There’s no other context provided, unfortunately. I was actually hoping he did call out the SEC for their recruiting practices, which I personally believe are dirty. However, he could just simply be saying that everyone has their own recruiting philosophy and each school does their thing. Mizzou does what works for Mizzou and Ole Miss does what works for Ole Miss. What works for Ole Miss may not be the best strategy for Mizzou. And so on. I know everyone wants a scandal but without more clarity on his statement I don’t know we can take that as a shot at Ole Miss or the SEC.
Yeah, Dodd didn’t take the liberty to grasp something out of mid-air like Bratton clearly is. But that’s kind of a SDS thing anyway, it gets clicks and comments.
Bratton literally insinuated that Drink accuses the SEC of “cheating”, and that’s a hell of a stretch based on what was actually said. Good grief…
Yeah I’m with ya. Otoh, say we pretend Drink was talking about other SEC schools cheating (like the narrative Bratton created just to write this piece) and it upsets a majority of the 64 people who read it, meh, so be it.
yup, makes me laugh out loud
Yeah, this should have been more of a “shots fired?” headline than a “shots fired!” one. Parsing that quote requires some context, tone, and maybe even body language.
That was a pretty good piece by Dodd, Michael. You should read the whole thing. I’m not sure where the chip on his shoulder comes from, but it’s pretty clear they didn’t replace Barry Odom with another Barry Odom, that would be the definition of insanity as the saying goes.
That’s not really calling them out. That’s just saying he’ll recruit the way he find effective for Mizzou.
So the school that was just banned from postseason play is talking about others cheating? Pure comedy…
You are literally not capable of making a comment without referencing the lowest hanging fruit that your tiny ape brain can think of. That’s a sign of stupidity.
What I posted was an actual fact…
Wow. Your the last Sec school that the ncaa has given you a bowl ban and your talking about the rest of the sec. Maybe you need to coach your first game before you piss everybody off. This want win in the sec. Bye in 2 years. Drink that
An actual fact for the troll girls, Clemson beat Alabama and our beloved SEC for the so-called National Championship of bowl-land by sustaining a roster of Ostarine addicts so dependent that some of them had to be taking it the day of the test. Why do you suppose Alabama couldn’t complain about that? The west division of the SEC passing out money on the field after the game. Somebody has to throw cheats out of their University and Show-Me fair-play. Thanks Coach Drink.
Who was banned from the postseason this past season?
“Ostarine addicts”.
Michael Bratton is talking about the rest of the SEC cheating. Reading is hard, but you’ll get the hang of it.
Bamatime, do you really respect the NCAA that much to take their back with that statement? We got hosed, that was last year. We’ll be competing shortly, preferably this year. Man, back the NCAA like that, that’s pure comedy.
Wow. Your the last Sec school that the ncaa has given you a bowl ban and your talking about the rest of the sec. Maybe you need to coach your first game before you piss everybody off. This want win in the sec. Bye in 2 years. Drink that
Ok, Dale. You’re not supposed to mix your pills with alcohol.
Thankfully the NCAA always makes the best decisions!
omg, that cracked me up, thanks to a fan of the perfect source, sincerely here, no tongue in cheek what so ever.
Don’t self report Drink…you have my permission to make that your new motto!
Is kicking a dozen people out of school self-reporting? That was the beginning and the end of it. The rest was just the NCAA wanting to take some credit for something Missouri did WAY ahead of every other member. The facts of this
case can’t be recounted enough because it’s a true “Show-Me” example of
“Right Way” to catch and treat cheaters. Question: any of the rest of yall need a
hand with this ‘concept’ implementation I’m sure Sterk and the Pres can map it out for whole NCAA. Good job Mizzou.
This is what the NCAA said about Missouri… Basically the NCAA said Missouri’s compliance was incompetent. Not sure that’s the right way to do things.
“While Missouri promptly self-reported the violations, it did not promptly self-detect them. The offending conduct continued for one year,” the panel wrote, adding that if the tutor had not admitted her violations, Missouri would not have been aware of them.
A lot of slower folks around these parts don’t really understand that self-reporting isn’t some automatic path to forgiveness. It’s simply the first sign of cooperating.
No one believed Mizzou deserved “forgiveness”, we just wanted a punishment that fit the crime. The NCAA went nuclear.
I sincerely hope Mizzou never self reports anything to the NCAA ever again, nor should they ever cooperate. (Nor should anyone).
Only partisans who want to be ignorant could have missed the facts on this. Greg Sankey summed it up for you, the NCAA blew it and we deserved better.
Where did you get the idea that kicking the cheaters out of school had anything to do with football or the NCAA. Missouri didn’t do it to please your happy pie hole. They did it as soon as the cheaters were discovered and verified. Nobody has come up with the slightest shred of evidence that Missouri could have done this sooner. And nobody is defending the testing security system. Clearly however it was not a flaw that showed favoritism to any single student or class or site.
The problem is Missouri didn’t catch this tutor. The tutor turned themself in. The NCAA said That Missouri wouldn’t have stopped it if not for the tutor doing so…
That’s not an example of how to catch and treat cheaters like you try to say it is.. That’s an example of a clueless compliance department with their head buried in the Sand.
Missouri is not some bastion of righteousness that is showing the light to the “poor dumb” older members of the conference, wolfman, and your constant banging of that drum is tiresome and ineffective. The attitude you exhibit fosters the perception of Missouri a “quasi-member” of the conference.
What Missouri did “Show Me” is that the school is as prone to cheating as any other school.
*as a “quasi-member”…
Hey Bill how about you actually read the investigation report and educate yourself. The attitude you exhibit fosters the perception of typical longtime, uninformed SEC fan.
Wow, the guy accused us of cheating. Now that’s original!
Reminds me of some 1960’s NASA Apollo program manager that dresses like Mr. Rogers. Will Mizzou make it to the moon or burn up on the launch pad? time will tell.
Like^^
Drinkwitz…So you are having a major-problem signing recruits to come to Mizzou ? Let’s think about the “Why’s” The Mizzou program has not been relevant in awhile…maybe that could be a reason. Hmmm…there are other reasons of course. Maybe you should have considered that prior to taking the job as a Head Coach in the SEC. You are not at Appy State anymore. But going from a salary of $750,000/year to $3 Million/year convinced you to come to Mizzou, right ? With the job as a Head Coach in the SEC comes something called “Fan Expectations” which in the Fall of 2020 you’ll learn about. Good Luck !
I’m liking him more and more. This is fantastic
If he’s at least a fair Offensive minded coach he will be better than what we’ve had. Mizzou has really never set the bar all that high, so sadly he doesn’t need to be all that great to be a real improvement.
Yeah, read the original article, ignoring what Bratton wrote. It makes much more sense.
I can’t (nor can others, by some comments) locate any sort of evidence he has backing up his claim. He’s perhaps the most questionable hire this cycle (and of all conf HC’s) and whining and throwing out defaming statements doesn’t really help that perception. This guy is starting to look in over his head before the first spring game tees up. What hurts recruiting a lot more than rivals cheating is looking like a dork, not having played the game at D1 level, and whining like a b1tch the first couple months in. Those qualities will really help him relate to players and turn the corner on recruiting.
What claim?
The claim that’s the subject of the article-Ole Miss cheating/recruiting violations
That is Michael Bratton’s claim, or more accurately his narrative.
I get that you’re wanting to defend your coach as a fan, but when referencing recruiting and the team most recently and notoriously punished for recruiting improprieties is alluding to said improprieties while being too much of a p***y to say it directly. I’d buy to your argument that he’s not alluding to improprieties and merely referencing style of recruiting if he mentioned Bama/UGA or any of the leading recruiters in the sentence, but it’s pretty clear why he references Ole Miss in the context he did. I’d give you th e benefit of the doubt if the above was true and perhaps if we had only this clickbait site to verify; however, the CBS article lands at the same conclusion. I’ll retract if Drinky clarifies or calls out either publication for distorting the quote.
I see you have no clue what a narrative is, or why it’s called narrative as opposed to fact. No, the CBS article does not land at the same conclusion, Dodd refrains from creating and presenting a narrative out of thin air as fact, he knows better and he certainly didn’t associate the quote with “cheating”. And I seriously doubt Drink even knows SDS exists, why would he? This is a tabloid site, hence the continuous narratives as opposed to reporting, and not a source for journalistic deep dives or investigative research. That’s precisely why narratives work here, most readers aren’t looking for anything more substantial, because they don’t care. When they do care they go somewhere else, like actual journalistic sources CBSSports, ESPN, etc. Drinkwitz reading SDS, priceless!
So, without evidence or any context whatsoever, you’re automatically jumping to the conclusion that Drink is definitely saying he thinks the entire SEC cheats at recruiting? And instead you’re demanding evidence to prove that you’re ill informed opinion is wrong? Interesting.
By the way, Mizzou wasn’t punished for “recruiting improprieties”. They were punished for not knowing a rogue tutor was cheating for a few players.
Booches-if Drinky is merely making a reference to style and not recruiting improprieties (as you allege) why mention Ole Miss at all? They’re currently not a recruiting powerhouse, nor have they been particularly relevant, even when they did get caught. Why do they warrant discussion at all in this context? Everyone in the SEC uses similar recruiting tactics, so why focus on a team that’s not leading it, if not discussing the NCAA recruiting sanctions they’re most prominently known for? The narratives of both articles clearly and explicitly address this (to pretend otherwise is to ignore this fact that they do address it). The best way to not build such narratives is to not allude to improprieties you have no evidence for. He might not read SDS but he or members of the AD will read the CBS sports article, which is why I mentioned addressing either.
Tiger TD-nowhere do I state that he accuses the entirety of the SEC of cheating. I’m merely stating that it’s obvious he’s hinting that Ole Miss does by per the quote in the CBS article, explained within my comments. Yes-if you’re alluding to something, which he does, then you should be able to back it up. Basic reason dictates this.
I’m clearly saying Ole Miss had improprieties (they did factually), so perhaps you should read more carefully before alluding to things that aren’t true, much like your coach.
See, there you are again making false narratives. I haven’t alleged anything, I haven’t made a claim. I simply asked YOU what claim did Drinkwitz make and you answered by telling me the claim Bratton is making. Dodd never mentioned he took it as a “cheating” reference, yet you’re saying he did. I mean what gives? Ole Miss has a completely new coaching staff, it makes no sense to pin the sanctions on Kiffin or anyone there now. There are other recruiting philosophies and it’s quite lame and irresponsible (to put it nicely) to ignore the plethora of aspects that involve recruiting and state as fact he was talking about cheating like Bratton did. I mean, I understand low hanging fruit and all that, it’s the SEC fan and SDS way, I get it, but it doesn’t make it any less eye rolling.
To appease your simpleton viewpoint lets explore and (pretend) Drink WAS talking about cheating. Did Ole Miss get nabbed for recruiting violations? Yep. Did Mizzou? Nope, yet Mizzou gets called out repeatedly for having a rouge tutor investigation which even the NCAA concluded “no violations were Institutionally driven by the Athletic Department or Administration” meaning the NCAA even found the tutor acted on her own accord. Yet that seems fair game on here. But it’s sour grapes to call out (pretending he was) a school who WAS found to have violations driven and executed specifically by Athletic personnel themselves in accordance with Boosters? Lets say he was talking about this NCAA substantiated cheating, bootser payouts, ect. So what? It’s not like the NCAA ruled the Ole Miss Boosters were acting on their own accord, if that were the case none of those coaches would have been hit with show-cause orders like they were. So either way your take is lazy at best, a complete bull$hit narrative at worst.
You’re not providing a compelling “narrative” as to why Ole Miss gets mentioned, nor do your points refute mine. You’re simply dodging my points while framing a “narrative” of your own and adding in ad hominems. Again, if it’s the innocent comparison you allege involving Drinky changing recruiting methodology, why compare the change to Ole Miss, who’s not relevant in recruiting in comparison to the heavyweights? We can keep up your methodology of ad hominems and talking in circles or we can address the relevant points.
Can we stop using the term “rouge tutor”? That makes it sound like some tutor was such a huge fan they concocted some plan to help the program.
I told you I wasn’t creating a narrative out of thin-air, that’s exactly the point. First you say I’m not providing a narrative, then you say I’m framing my own narrative. You’ve confused yourself so bad it’s YOU going in circles.
Like I said, lets play pretend and act like Drink was talking about cheating and ignore every other aspect of recruiting. SO WHAT?! They actually did have coaches get hit with show-cause orders for working with Boosters and distributing money to recruits. Yeah that’s cheating, so if cheating is the narrative you want to create based on Drink’s non-specific quote then he’s still spot on and calling them out is fair game. If not then no one can call out Mizzou for firing a bad tutor who the NCAA even admitted was rouge. This isn’t confusing and his quote is substantiated whether you create a false narrative for spin or not.
@Burbon Blue: Well the NCAA even concluded the tutor was rouge and acted on her own accord, so not sure why you want to call it anything differently than what the NCAA is. Her plan was to get Mizzou to pay her a large sum of money to keep quiet after she told them what she was doing. Mizzou said hell no and instead fired her, kicked her students out of school for academic fraud and notified the NCAA on what happened. If you have a better word than rouge then go for it, but the NCAA couldn’t find one.
You’re the one alleging bias and narrative-merely mocking your butthurt. If I’m confused in my reasoning-why are you first alleging he’s definitively not saying cheating and now saying it doesn’t matter if he did? Backtracking because you can’t defend against my arguments, clearly.
It’s like, you don’t understand words.
The Mizzou job seems a bit “more challenging” than Drinkwitz originally thought…huh. Welcome to The SEC !
What do you have against Drink? I mean I don’t get it, you’ve been on his nuts since December. Appalachian State fan?
Appalachian State fans were upset when they lost Satterfield. This guy was only there a year with Satt’s players. Kinda like Tubby won a NC w/ Pitino’s players.
Nothing against Drinkwitz=nothing at all. Facts: He was a Head Coach for only one(1) year at Appy(inherited a program that Scott Satterfield-now at Louisville built). So my thinking is that he still is a Rookie Head Coach and now is in the SEC. He may become a good head coach, I do not know at this time…we’ll all learn. Everything that I have posted concerning Drinkwitz is the truth, you know that. Appy fan=gosh no ! I enjoy SEC football. You Mizzou Fans have the thinnest skins on Planet Earth, get over it. Every post that does not paint “your school” in a rosy fashion, you guys go beserk. Chill…you take this online stuff way too seriously. It’s not a bar fight, you know.
AFan-Drinky is the next Saban and they’ve got a whole season’s worth of data to prove you wrong.
Yep an AppalachianFan, figured so.
Well this has been truly entertaining. Kudos to Drinkwitz for a willingness to mix it up!
He probably knows more about the recruitment cheating that’s gone on at Ole Miss far better than any of us, he certainly knows something about the cheating at Auburn. The two SEC programs with the most prolific recruiting “issues” in recent times.
Well why do you think we hired him?
He framed it using the word “does”-current tense. If he’s got evidence-he should mention it. Alluding to something without proof looks whiny. I’ll give you credit for admitting that it’s likely that he’s alluding to last recruiting violations when some of your fellow fans seem to think he randomly calls out Ole Miss for…..reasons?
There’s a myriad of recruiting aspects he could have been alluding to. What you want is evidence of the narrative Bratton created which you are lazily accepting as fact. What you’re wanting is equal to asking for proof that Oswald acted alone, otherwise it’s fact that he didn’t.
Never claimed concrete facts-but reason indicates he’s referring to cheating-as I’ve detailed above. Tell me what unique and special recruiting policies Ole Miss has used in the month Drinky has been there. Did they even compete with Ole Miss for recruits?
He framed it in terms that it’s accepted standards that some programs will “stretch the rules” more than others. No biggy, it’s nothing we don’t all already know about. Freeze bit the hooker phone bullet hard to keep it distanced from “recruits”, from a coaching standpoint he did what a soldier has to do. I think Ole Miss MAY have gotten one recruit Mizzou was going hard for but that’s all and it really wasn’t the point of this. Drinkz is probably just signaling that he isn’t going to turn the program “shady” to get into the upper half of SEC recruiting.
But seriously…is it too late to kick Missouri out of the conference? Asking for a friend…
ChooChooLane…Agreed ! I surely hope that most Mizzou fans are not like the above poster, Booches. Man, he gives Mizzou a bad name….maybe there are some normal fans & boosters there, I hope.
We were awful last year and still beat Ole Miss. Maybe we’re not the ones who need removed, at least we don’t need to use hookers to attract recruits.
Of course you don’t need hookers….
Those “golden girls” are glad to spread it around..
Why thank you for noticing we do have the best looking cheerleaders in the SEC. Considering how many heffers you see in other colors cheering.
Video and quotes are forever….
And what goes around, may indeed, come around….
Wow. This has the be the most responses to a Missouri article EVER. Welcome to the SEC. You are now relevant. Now go to your room. You’re grounded!
This post surely has blown-up in numbers of responses…It proves when a Rookie SEC Head Coach throws out accusations like “cheating” at all the SEC schools…yes, we ALL get angry…as ALL OF US love SEC Football and enjoy watching the best athletes in the country play that glorious game of College Football. Go SEC !
I think this thread just proves the SEC is forced to watch basketball right now and they’re frustrated. I’ve never read such Horse Sh!t in one place. Arkansas fans thinking they are relevant (you’re in the west, you’re still the trash bin), Alabama fans lecturing us on the NCAA…only lesson we should learn from them is to hire a law firm who’s only responsibility is dealing with infractions, Tennessee fan (of which Bratton is one) who are still butt hurt by us and hoping Charlie Brown is the man, and the one KY fan who has found his voice. And I do appreciate a Tennessee fan who can toss a cake into a room hungry fat girls and sit back and watch the melee so well done Michael (ThatSECPodcast – a great listen and analysis).
In response to Drink’s comment, well he knows the SEC and you better come out gun slinging. Y’all come up to Mizzou and we’ll Drinkwitz you and hopefully we’ll Drinkwitz your team. MIZ baby!
I agree Arkansas football is a joke at this point but what in the hell has Missouri done on a football field lately that warrants trash talk from it’s fan base. If beating Arkansas is your reply then you’re not far from the bin yourself.
Compared to Arkansas? Be relevant. Who knows maybe Odom will be as important to your program as Frank Broyles. But where you guys are in complete rebuild, we just took of the Yoke-dom. And if you need an explanation of any of my comments I will be happy to explain any of them in full. And while you’re at it tell your school to update their year by year win loss record. They stopped at 2018 for some reason.
