Mizzou head coach Gary Pinkel arrested for DWI



Uh. Oh.
KOMU-TV is reporting that Missouri head coach Gary Pinkel was arrested late Wednesday night by Boone County sheriff’s and charged with driving while intoxicated (http://www.komu.com/news/gary-pinkel-arrested-for-dwi/). Pinkel was pulled over in Columbia at shortly after 11 p.m. ET for what the television station described as lanes violations.
He was released from the Boone County Jail after posting a $500 bond. This was his first offense according to the Boone County Sheriff’s website (http://www.showmeboone.com/sheriff/0700/0700.asp).
The school has yet to comment on their head coach’s arrest. The 5-5 Tigers play a home game against Texas Tech this weekend, although Pinkel’s own precedent suggests he shouldn’t be on the sidelines coaching his team.
In August of 2010, Missouri players Will Ebner (http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/08/23/mizzou-lb-ebner-hit-with-dwi-charge/) and Beau Brinkley (http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/08/30/mizzou-mixes-drinking-with-driving-yet-again/) were charged with DWIs and were suspended (http://articles.ky3.com/2010-09-13/suspensions_24121378) by Pinkel for the first two games of the season. Certainly the head coach should be held to a higher standard than his players, right?

Haha, have fun sucking forever, Mizzou. You'll never win a championship in anything ever.

BUT... did he tell them who he was and ask for a warning a la Georgia athletic director and is there some video of telling Tiger fans that if they drink and drive they lose that we can now laugh at? :D

Everything that seems odd in the World seems to have Boone in it.

[AlboSooner]

Pat Forde can be pretty damn funny at times

Alma mater clearly taking SEC membership seriously. Immediately cranking up the arrest count -- and starting at the top.

[Bourbon St Sooner]

I guess we know now why they didn't join the B1G. They just wanted to stick to misdemeanors.

Boone County "Barney" wanted to make a name for himself.
