Mizzou Football Coach Arrested for DWI

Gary Drinkel head football coach at Mizzou
It always amazes me how good the University of Missouri is at finding trouble. If it’s not hiring a head basketball coach accused of paying players it’s their football team drinking and driving like it’s going out of style. Now we know where they get it.

Missouri head football coach Gary Pinkel was arrested on November 16 for a DWI offense. You can see the quite comical sobriety test below. Some high lights include when he is asked to count backward form 73 to 62 he responds “I can’t do that normally, are you kidding me?”

You should expect to see plenty of “Gary Drinkel” signs at Mizzou road games form now on.

Mizzou vs The Law

Even though their disappointing football season has drawn to a close, Mizzou continues to make headlines by adding yet another criminal charge to it’s team’s accomplishments. This time by repeat offender defensive lineman Jimmy Burge.

Burge was arrested following a traffic stop in which an officer noticed the smell of marijuana wafting from Burge’s pickup truck.  A subsequent search revealed blast pipes, rolling papers, a grinder, 3 grams of marijuana and a shotgun in Burge’s vehicle. – John Taylor, NBC Sports

Four months ago, Burge was cited for drinking intoxicants while driving a vehicle.

It seems running from the law keeps you shape, but diminishes your chances of ever playing in a BCS bowl.
