Gut-wrenching news at today's #Mizzou press conference: freshman offensive lineman Johnnie "DJ" Jones is on a heart transplant list, after freshmen intake tests detected a problem. "It's tough right now," HC Eli Drinkwitz said. "Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family, as they go through this. I know Johnnie was watching our game [against Florida]. It's just hard. An 18-year-old with everything in front of him and you're just not prepared for that kind of news...We're praying for him and I know a lot of Mizzou fans will hopefully join in that prayer because he does need help in a hurry."

#Mizzou football coach Eli Drinkwitz's full opening statement after hanging on for a 27-17 win over Troy, tonight ⬇️ "Started really slow. Giving up a 76-yard touchdown right out of the gate was not on the bingo list and then offensively just poor. Never had a rhythm, never had an answer, always playing from behind...Really proud of the guys for going on a 24-0 run." "We're a 3-0 football team with a whole heck of a lot of room to improve. That's gotta be our focus...The road ahead gets a whole lot more difficult."

#Mizzou HC Eli Drinkwitz after last night's loss at No. 24 Mississippi State: "It's gonna hurt for a while because we gave ourselves an opportunity twice to tie it up." "We're in week four of this team's journey and we battled on the road, had an opportunity and didn't get it done...[We] battled our butt off, came up a 3rd and 4 and a 4th and 4 short. We'll go back to work. Got a challenge this week coming up, so that's just life in the SEC."

Here's everything #Mizzou football coach Eli Drinkwitz had to say about the job rumors circulating on social media. "Last week, people were tired of me because I couldn't win the big game. People had me meeting with my team and telling them that I was going to another school. None of which were true. Now, this week, it's different story because we scored the second-most points in the SEC this year...All of this stuff is just a distraction."

#Mizzou HC Eli Drinkwitz says the old style of thinking, as far as having 85 scholarships and recruiting four deep at each position and moving up guys, once another leaves is in the past. Drink says this is a 6-month free agent business. He tells Tiger Twitter fans: "it's really gonna be okay...We value production over potential."

It's COLD out here in Missouri, folks! #Mizzou softball and other teams play in warm-weather tournaments on the weekend and then come home and can't practice on dirt in February. "My No. 1 focus is to shout from the rooftops that they need to move the softball season back."

"I'm challenging our players' competitiveness, right now...I will tell you [this loss] will grab their attention better than anything else...Our message now is in bold type, instead of just me saying it." #Mizzou WBB lost to Division II Maryville in exhibition action tonight. Calum McAndrew asked HC Kellie Harper if she feels this group is ready for the regular season. Really thoughtful response from her here ⬇️ A loss like this HAS happened to her in exhibition play before, too...and that team ended up having a great year.

One of the most interesting parts of #Mizzou HC Eli Drinkwitz's contract extension, which AD Laird Veatch took us through today, is the automatic extensions. Any season the Tigers win 8 games, Drinkwitz will have another year added to his contract + a $200,000 bump in salary.

#Mizzou HC Eli Drinkwitz told us today that receiver Naeshaun Montgomery would sleep in the locker room during camp...and quite a few guys joined him! "We would walk in, 6 am...like, he's laying in his air mattress and I'd just jump on it and wake him up." These captains say it says a lot about this team's dedication ⬇️

You've got to love the relationship between #Mizzou HC Dennis Gates & Caleb Grill (Caleb Grill). The two shared a long, emotional hug on the sideline, when Grill subbed out for the final time at home. "He will go down as one of the change agents in Missouri basketball."

Long, but worth a listen: #Mizzou HC Eli Drinkwitz talks about the state of college football, right now, as it relates to the College Sports Commission Agreement (which still hasn't been signed). "I understand the national sentiment because of the salary ranges of head coaches that it feels like we're complaining...but we're trying to sound warning bells...There's a warning that the system that we're in is really sick right now. College football is sick...there's showing signs of this thing really cracking moving forward."

Yes, #Mizzou saw that video (that's now gone viral) that Kansas release ahead of tonight's game. Coach Drinkwitz says he was disappointed in the turn that this rivalry game took: "I was embarrassed for them, to be honest, and that's why I tried to embarrass them at the end." When asked about if he hopes this rivalry continues, he said he doesn't care if it continues or not, if 'they're gonna be weird about it.'

John Calipari on why he believes #Mizzou HC Dennis Gates is one of the Coaches of the Year & this Tiger team is an NCAA Tournament squad: "The guys where your team struggles a little bit and pulls it together...folks, that's coaching. Not when you win nine in a row, you win all these games and you just--no let it fall apart [and] now let me see how you keep your team together."
