Eli Drinkwitz says he won’t answer ‘any questions about the Epstein files’

Eli Drinkwitz is interested in talking ball and talking ball only.
The Mizzou head coach took the podium at SEC Media Days in front of a smaller crowd compared to Day 1, and he saw a great opportunity to let a few jokes fly. He started by addressing the use of the correct fight song after Steve Sarkisian’s snafu earlier in the week.
From there, he insisted that he’s not going to be taking any questions about the Jeffrey Epstein files, Lee Harvey Oswald or any other political/conspiratorial talking points. Drinkwitz was on fire Thursday morning, folks.
“I know there’s a lot of burning questions in this room from the 14 of y’all that showed up. But just as a reminder, I’m not going to answer any questions about the Epstein files, about the radiation belt, and whether or not it was possible for Lee Harvey Oswald to get 3 shots off in 7 seconds,” Drinkwitz joked. “I don’t have time to answer all those questions, but I will answer questions about Mizzou football.”
Drinkwitz said a lot from the podium on Thursday outside of the above. He mentioned that Beau Pribula and Sam Horn are still very much in a QB battle. He also voiced his support for an increase to a 9-game SEC schedule, touched on the importance of Mizzou’s rivalry with Kansas and even lobbied for a 30-game College Football Playoff.
Not sure about that last one, Drink.
