It might not register as a bombshell, but Gary Pinkel dropped a bold statement during his radio show Monday night. Asked by host Chris Gervino about
his imminent contract extension, Pinkel told the crowd at Buffalo Wild
Wings: “I’m going to stay here for the rest of my career and continue
to build this program.”

I can't say I was particularly overwhelmed by Mike Alden's selection of Pinkel to take over for Larry Smith in 2000, but after watching him slowly, methodically build Mizzou into a solid program with none of the stench that the Quin Snyder years brought to the basketball program, I can only say that this is great.
