Gary Pinkel in good spirits after announcement that his cancer is back

As I wrote about in yesterday’s links post, former football coach Gary Pinkel announced his cancer is no longer in remission.

Former #Mizzou football coach Gary Pinkel tells me he's undergoing cancer treatments again, but he remains in good spirits.

"I'm going to battle it. I've got a very positive approach to it, and I'm around a lot of good people that are helping me." https://t.co/mw3OlJYHaL— Andrew Kauffman (@AndrewABC17) June 24, 2019

While Pinkel’s specific form of cancer never truly goes away, he clarified that he recently had to restart treatment.
