Missouri Coach Gary Pinkel Broke Out The Dance Moves Following Win

Missouri football coach Gary Pinkel announced on Friday that he is resigning at the end of the season.

That merely capped a chaotic week at MU also marked by his players boycotting football activities unless system president Tim Wolfe was ousted in sympathy with a student movement on campus protesting racial issues.

He dismissed the idea that the week’s events in Columbia, Missouri, led to his decision.

‘I want to make very clear that I’m not doing poorly, and that this is a manageable disease, but it’s one that will never go away, ‘ Pinkel said.

ABOUT BYU (7-2): BYU’s offense appeared doomed when star quarterback Taysom Hill was injured in the season opener, but Tanner Mangum has put up big numbers (2,198 passing yards, 15 touchdowns) since taking over and needs 119 passing yards and one TD to surpass Jake Heaps’ school records for a freshman.

The Tigers, who earlier in the week were part of a boycott that helped lead to the resignation of the school president, rallied with two fourth-quarter touchdowns to beat BYU 20-16 – and give Pinkel a victory one day after announcing he will leave the team.

If it’s not the final win of the Pinkel era then the Missouri Tigers will be headed to a bowl game and may be able to send Pinkel off into the sunset the way he should be remembered at Mizzou, as a victor. The enormous, 6-foot-8, 280-pound senior was a wrecking ball for the Cougars, disrputing play any time Missouri was foolish enough to run toward his side of the ball.

Henderson said this week was a historical one for the university and speaks to how much power student athletes have.

That BYU happened to be Missouri’s next opponent was rather ironic, considering how insolar the Provo, Utah campus seems to the outside world.

The Brigham Young University Cougars fell 20-16 to the Missouri Tigers on the road Saturday night. Doctors said the treatments would not interfere with his coaching duties.

“I will say this, I feel pretty good right now, and there are a lot of people who have cancer a lot worse than I have”, Pinkel said. After a sluggish, injury-ridden 2012 season, the team’s debut in the Southeastern Conference, Pinkel quickly turned the Tigers around. “Their campus is going out of control”, said Martin, via SEC Country. Sam went on to become the first openly gay player to be drafted by an NFL team, though he is now out of professional football. “I kind of teared up because it was Coach Pinkel and you know, we all love Coach Pinkel”. Missouri’s last 10-win season before Pinkel was in 1960.

Going into the game, Missouri ranked No. 125 in the nation (out of 128 teams) in third-down conversion percentage at 29 percent. In 2012, Missouri’s first season in the SEC, the Tigers struggled finishing the season 5-7. Senior center Evan Boehm said he wouldn’t be “here” without his coach. I know this works’.
