University of Missouri curators are easier to please than most Mizzou football fans.
It wasn’t all that long ago when it felt necessary to point MU fans toward reasons for making Eli Drinkwitz's fourth season, not this in-progress third one, the ultimate referendum on his trajectory as the Tigers head coach.
There had been some grumbling from black-and-gold faithful before a road win against a South Carolina team that was ranked No. 25 for one half-second. Mizzou's decision-makers must not have heard fans' sighs of exasperation this season as Drinkwitz's challenged offense struggles to score.
