Eli Drinkwitz blasts Cardinals writer, Mizzou grad for social post
Eli Drinkwitz and the Missouri Tigers picked up a 30-23 victory against Oklahoma on Saturday night in one of the wildest endings of the 2024 regular season. There were 28 points scored in the final 3:18 of the game, including each team scoring a defensive touchdown on a scoop-and-score.
Zion Young scored the eventual game-winning touchdown for the Tigers, as he returned a fumble for a 17-yard touchdown.
Former Missouri grad and current St. Louis Cardinals writer Brenden Schaeffer wasn’t thrilled with how the Tigers were playing, and he posted his frustration in a post on X (formerly Twitter). Based on the time stamp, he vented his frustrations well before the end of the game and Mizzou’s magical finish.
“Fire Drink, Fire Kirby,” Schaeffer posted. “I don’t even care. They had two weeks, gang. Two weeks.”

It didn’t take the Tigers’ coach a long time to respond, as he did at 2 a.m. on Sunday morning.
“Maybe just stop tweeting during the game,” Drinkwitz posted. “You got no clue.”

The win kept the Tigers with an outside chance of making the College Football Playoff and the SEC Championship, even if those chances are very low.
They will hit the road next week to take on one of the hottest teams in the SEC in South Carolina. This could be another top-25 matchup for the Tigers, which would be another opportunity for both of these teams to get a big win.
Sports writers are clueless. Fire Drink? Seriously. Cmon man.
Drinky needs to put himself on a social media timeout, for say 2 or 3 months.
I think Tigurry(aka wolfman 2) should take a long timeout, for say forever.
ebon, there is no required reading here. But thanks anyway?, i think?
Yup
What kind of coach responds to social media posts? What a clown
Drink has a serious Napoleon complex. He’s very thin skinned and overcompensates by driving a freaking Maybach. But he’s a hell of a recruiter and he builds team chemistry.
It’s not a good reflection on him to do so.
It’s a journalism University, ghost-writers are standing on every busy street corner with big sandwich signs that read “hire me I have 5 more years to my advanced degree ceremony!”
I have no problem with Drink’s comment
ESPN playoff predictor gives Missouri a 61% to make the playoffs with a 10-2. Matchup would be at Notre Dame. Not a very low chance especially if Brady Cook is healthy the next three weeks.
This coaching staff is wild, at any turn of events they seem to be able to change directions and floor the gas pedal / slam the door …. And the roster seems to have that same attitude? Congratulations on pulling off that Saturday night wrestling reversal and pin! Slam.
Xwitter just needs to die.
