One of the good guys at MU.

It was all over sports radio today and the talk was that he was at least partially forced out because his support of the football team on the racial issue at MU which led to the resignation of the School president. I am sure big time donors were not happy and the cancer announcement, as callous as it seems, was a convenient cover. I am not saying this is correct or not because I just don’t know…or care, it is Missouri after all. Best luck to coach Pinkel, he seems like a nice person and did lot for the MU football program…perhaps best coach ever at MU, although Dan Devine would be up there as well.

I wish the best to Pinkel. Battling cancer far exceeds our competitive rivalry focus.
