Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz stood atop one of the brick walls that surround the field at Jordan-Hare Stadium, celebrating with the Tigers' fans who were in the northwest corner of the end zone following the 23-17 double-overtime victory over Auburn on Saturday night.
It wasn't precisely a rare show of emotion, but you could tell that the victory meant more to Drinkwitz than a typical SEC road win would. On Wednesday night, during his weekly talk show appearance, the head coach explained why he was so emotional after the game.
"It wasn't just about me," Drinkwitz said on his "Tiger Talk" radio show.
