Eli Drinkwitz trolls Bob Stoops after win over Oklahoma
Eli Drinkwitz had some fun at Oklahoma’s expense following Mizzou’s 30-23 win over the Sooners on Saturday night.
When Drinkwitz took the podium to make his opening statement in his postgame press conference, he called back to a comment made by former Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops earlier this summer.
Before the start of the 2024 season, Stoops was talking about Oklahoma’s introduction into the SEC and was making the point that the program wouldn’t be intimidated by joining a league that included Missouri and Texas A&M — 2 teams Oklahoma was largely dominant against when they faced off in the Big 12.
“We beat the hell out of Missouri, all of a sudden now we’re supposed to be afraid of them?” Stoops told ESPN.
Well, Drinkwitz remembered that comment in the aftermath of Missouri’s triumphant win on Saturday night.
“This will be real disappointing to Bob Stoops, but OU doesn’t always whoop Missouri’s ass anymore,” he said.

That win marked Mizzou’s third win over Oklahoma since 1984. However, the Tigers have now won 2 of the last 3 meetings in this series.
Perhaps more importantly, the Tigers are still in the mix for a College Football Playoff berth with just 2 losses. Mizzou will go on the road to face South Carolina in Week 12.
Wow. Defeated Oklahoma 3 times since….
……1984.
That’s…something.
(slow clap)
Some dwell in past, but the last one is the only one that impacts the future. For the TN Trolls how’s that MIZZOU SEC matchup been working out since 2012?
So you’re literally dwelling in the past, while accusing me of dwelling in the past. Got it.
Whooped TN last time we played. Fatman even tried to kick a last second field goal to break 10 points. Drink called a time out to ice the kicker and he missed!
This is the first time they’ve played since 2001, 13 years. Don’t know how you are supposed to beat a team when you don’t play them. Glad we have your genius here to remind us all to be thankful we weren’t born morons. Why don’t you go celebrate your brilliance like Heupel & down a couple dozen donuts.
2011.
gotta say the boys really came through for us!
Good Job Tigers!
Well it gets even better because to have Stoop’s attitude he has to forget all the years where Missouri was capable of beating any college football team in the country. The opposite attitude is what keeps programs rebuilding each year, ….college players grow up and get jobs.
It was boomer Stoops and OU director Boren along with Texas AD Deloss Dodd that all said they were happy when Mizzou and A&M left for the SEC..
it was their attitudes that made decision an easy choice for Mizzou.
and while Pinkels Tigers didnt have a great record w/ them he did give OU that 2010 beating when they(OU)were ranked #1, and followed it with a win over bevo the following year.
This is comical
