COLUMBIA, Mo. • I’m going to break the fourth wall here and share a personal story.
You’ve read and will continue to read lots of Gary Pinkel testimonials in this space and others. For the last 15 years I’ve carried around my Pinkel story and promised myself I wouldn’t share it publicly until his coaching days are done. That will be true in a matter of weeks. So, on the eve of his final game at Faurot Field, now is as good a time as any.
Pinkel probably doesn’t remember this story. That’s OK. He’s not telling it.
