OT Humor: Missouri HC Eli Drinkwitz on playing Ohio State - "Connor Stalions beeping in right here. I'm trying to get some signals, I gotta go."
Kind of a funny exchange on ESPN as Eli Drinkwitz was being interviewed about #9 Missouri making the Cotton Bowl against Ohio State.
"Hey guys, I got a quick phone call, Connor Stalions beeping in right here."

I didn't realize how much a goober Drinkwitz has been all season.

Is this thread full of OSU fans?
Dude is clearly mocking OSU and making fun of the ridiculousness of signgate.
December 3rd, 2023 at 6:58 PM ^
Seriously, I found this to be a great troll of OSU and ESPN. He could have hit the funny home a little better but he’s a football coach not John Mulaney
December 3rd, 2023 at 7:04 PM ^
I seriously hope UM sends Mizzou everything they’ve got on them.
December 3rd, 2023 at 8:38 PM ^
Yeah this joke went over a lot of people's heads in here!
December 3rd, 2023 at 10:16 PM ^
I don’t think he is though. This is the 2nd unsolicited shot he’s taken at Michigan. Dude is just looking for attention
December 4th, 2023 at 12:25 AM ^
You don't think he is what? Joking? Did you watch the video? He and Rece Davis are basically rolling the on floor laughing
December 4th, 2023 at 7:42 PM ^
I don't think he's making fun of OSU
December 4th, 2023 at 1:41 AM ^
Ok , that’s what I was wondering. He is trolling OSU right?
December 4th, 2023 at 9:46 AM ^
Might be one of those things you just have to see or people take out of context. Sometimes it makes more sense when you watch a clip as opposed to reading it. Its like the //s.
All seriousness though, I watched a few Mizzou games late in the season and they're a tough team and fun to watch. Their running back Schrader is a beast.
December 4th, 2023 at 1:05 AM ^
That gif hasn’t aged well
December 4th, 2023 at 8:01 AM ^
They sold that joke like Bernie Mac told it, Jesus Christ. Studio shows so are so damn performative.
December 3rd, 2023 at 5:38 PM ^
Cornball.
He's lucky half the OSU team will opt out.
December 3rd, 2023 at 5:38 PM ^
That's going to hurt Priss Pringle.
December 3rd, 2023 at 6:09 PM ^
I respect that name. Nicely done!
December 3rd, 2023 at 5:39 PM ^
He really wants to become part of tHe BiGgEsT sCaNdAl In FoOtBaLl HiStOrY by using signals stolen by Stalions?
In any case with all the players OSU will have opting out I doubt you'll need the "21-point advantage."
December 3rd, 2023 at 5:40 PM ^
If bro doesn't show up for work one day it might be because CS didn’t think his joke was funny.
December 3rd, 2023 at 7:26 PM ^
CS is the new G. Gordon Liddy.
December 3rd, 2023 at 5:43 PM ^
We need to schedule a game with Mizzou ASAP! Let him see what we think of his humor.
It can be tabbed "the Battle For The Block M"
December 3rd, 2023 at 6:07 PM ^
IMO, people in this thread are taking that joke the wrong way. He's not trolling Michigan but OSU. They're the ones who raised the whole stink about this.
I laughed at it.
December 3rd, 2023 at 6:13 PM ^
It is funny…c’mon, why so serious? We’re Number 1!
December 3rd, 2023 at 8:39 PM ^
EXACTLY!
We survived all of this pretty damn well:
- We beat top ten Penn State in Happy Valley,
- We got our 1,000th win at Maryland (first and only program in CFB with 1,000 wins),
- We beat #2 Ohio State - in the highest rated CFB game of the year - for the third time in a row,
- We won the Big Ten Championship outright for the third time in a row (which had never been done),
- We made the College Football Playoff,
- We are ranked #1 in the entire nation.
Living well is the best revenge.
December 3rd, 2023 at 6:17 PM ^
That’s how I saw it too. Everyone knows Cryin Ryan was behind this. Tattle tale spilled the beans on what every team does.
December 3rd, 2023 at 6:27 PM ^
I laughed. Idk why people are pissed lmao.
He’s not taking a shot at Michigan.
December 3rd, 2023 at 6:35 PM ^
I took it as he's trolling OSU and ESPN (for making such a big deal out of it).
December 3rd, 2023 at 10:14 PM ^
He’s doing a little OSU trolling to get on Michigan’s good side in case Harbaugh leaves and the head job opens up.
December 3rd, 2023 at 6:29 PM ^
He is trolling OSU. Duh
December 3rd, 2023 at 7:10 PM ^
I giggled for sure.
December 3rd, 2023 at 5:43 PM ^
Lame.
Happy to hate unfunny Drinkwitz.
December 3rd, 2023 at 5:43 PM ^
This guy is going to make me end up wanting OSU to win.
December 3rd, 2023 at 5:55 PM ^
Eh. He's a coach, not Jerry Seinfeld. A few people in the room laughed, which is all he was after. I doubt he has any anti-Michigan sentiment. Just trying to play the room.
I hope he beats whichever 60% of Ohio's team think they aren't too good to opt out.
December 3rd, 2023 at 6:50 PM ^
Cheer against the BigTen.
December 3rd, 2023 at 5:44 PM ^
This board has several stealth OSU fans. Some of them take the sea lion approach to posting. They upvote each other in interesting patterns.
December 3rd, 2023 at 7:42 PM ^
Just doing their part to sew discord and defeat that evil school up north. They have to do something while mom finishes making the meatloaf after all.
December 3rd, 2023 at 9:34 PM ^
I can’t even imagine how sad their lives have to be to put time/effort/life into something so. fucking. stupid.
December 3rd, 2023 at 5:44 PM ^
wow how original
December 3rd, 2023 at 5:44 PM ^
He has earned himself the enmity of Buckeye nation! And their team name starts with an M!
Pretty safe to say I’ll be cheering for Mizzou in this one.
December 3rd, 2023 at 7:28 PM ^
I think it's Xizzou now.
December 3rd, 2023 at 5:50 PM ^
What a fucking comedian.
December 3rd, 2023 at 5:51 PM ^
Where’s the humor?
December 3rd, 2023 at 5:52 PM ^
The most significant thing involving Missouri football in my lifetime
December 3rd, 2023 at 8:28 PM ^
I probably have some years on you, but Mizzou was at the heart of two huge plays that impacted national championships in the 90s. The first was the Colorado "5th" down play against Mizzou. Buffs went on to split the title in 90. The other was the "flea kicker" vs. #1 Nebraska -- Huskers were able to get a touchdown to send the game to OT on a play that wouldn't fly today. They went on to win in OT. That win kept Nebraska undefeated and impacted Michigan when the national title vote was split in 97.
December 3rd, 2023 at 5:54 PM ^
Is he the dumbass wearing Michigan gear on the Mizzou sideline?
December 3rd, 2023 at 5:54 PM ^
Rece Davis sure has become an insufferable dick.
December 3rd, 2023 at 6:15 PM ^
Become? Was he not always?
December 3rd, 2023 at 7:06 PM ^
His comment to Harbaugh this morning was just plain shitty. Harbaugh was being generous and offering a bit of an olive branch and Davis chose to call out the Michigan fan base and THEN made it about himself. This is one of the many, many things wrong with ESPN.
December 3rd, 2023 at 8:23 PM ^
That showed that Rece has really thin skin.
December 3rd, 2023 at 10:09 PM ^
Davis once worked for a TV station in Flint and was pretty favorable to us at one time. He definitely isn't now, though.
