Matter: Pinkel’s presence is good for Drinkwitz, Mizzou football

Here are the highlights from our weekly chat with Post-Dispatch readers.

Q: Dave, I thought it was a nice touch for Coach Drinkwitz to have Gary Pinkel speak to the team. I especially appreciated that he introduced him as “Head Coach.” 2 things … 1) Drink appears to really take culture, tradition, legacy, etc. very seriously. Is that really him or a PR face he puts on? 2) Did Barry Odom ever have Pinkel speak to any of his teams? If so, I don’t recall. Thanks!

A: I agree that it's a great gesture to have Pinkel speak to the team and be more visible around the program.
