COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Missouri football coach Gary Pinkel says he has separated from his wife.

In a statement released on Friday, Pinkel says he and Vicki, his wife of nearly 40 years, separated earlier this year. He thanks friends and family for their support and says, "I would ask that you please respect the privacy of the entire Pinkel family during this difficult time."

The Pinkels met at Kent State, where he played football. They have three grown children.

Pinkel was hired as Missouri's head coach in 2001 after previously coaching at Toledo. He is 158-91-3 in 20 seasons, and 85-54 with the Tigers.

Kansas State Basketball is hard / Farewell Fatty

« on: March 03, 2012, 01:09:17 PM »

Just got word that Shwan Alkhatib (A.K.A. Fatty) passed away yesterday. Nobody seems to know how it happened, but his brother found him already gone.

Schwan spent the last few months of his life working tirelessly to find doctors and treatment options for older brother, who is fighting cancer. Schwan put his own life on hold to move closer to his brother during the treatment process. The Alkhatib family has been dealing with the illness of one son for a while now, but the death of another is just too much to imagine. When remembering Fatty, think of his family as well.

Kansas State Basketball is hard / Observations from the championship game

« on: December 26, 2011, 01:00:20 AM »

We were sitting right next to the bench and got to hear a lot of the conversations between injured players and the team doc. Irving looked like he was in a lot of pain. He kept grabbing the middle of his chest (ribs/sternum) and grimacing. He walked to the trash cans at the tunnel entrance several times to lean on them and did a lot of spitting. It looked like he wanted to puke but it just wasn't happening. He didn't look good until carrying the championship trophy around the arena after the team had gone into the tunnel.

Gipson sprained the outside of his ankle. They taped him up and he went back to the bench. He was hurting for the rest of the night though and made a lot of pained faces.

Jamar cramped up near the end of the game and coach yelled at the team doc about it. It sounded like he was complaining that the players hadn't hydrated enough.

I talked to President Schulz after the game. He said the team is flying back tonight. They have layovers in LA and Denver before getting into KC. They are driving from KC to Manhattan. Sounds like the trip from hell to me. Good thing they don't play again till Saturday.

Kansas State Football / If WVU loses it's Lawsuit...

« on: November 26, 2011, 02:59:25 PM »

  Doe's Mizzou's departure depend on WVU's timeline? My understanding was that if the conference moves to 9, TV deals are null and void opening MU to lawsuits. Is there a chance we have to endure those F*#$ another year or two?

Kansas State Football / How does the KU/KSU rivalry change with the departure of MU?

« on: October 21, 2011, 11:11:04 PM »

I think we see even more douchyness from the KU bandwagon.They won't be able to hang their hat on the ole "MU is our rival anyway" sentiment anymore when they continue to have 1-13 years against us.

Kansas State Football / Empty Seats

We're nationally ranked, playing a conference rival at home, and can't fill the stadium. What the hell? I know it's a three day weekend, but come on!

Kansas State Basketball is hard / Pure Comedy

If Walker’s greatness reminds anyone of Manning’s run 23 years ago it should only be to reinforce the fact that college basketball still hasn’t seen anything like it since.

I can think of at least three off the top of my head.

Melo
Hansblow
Leattner


Can you imagine how many Manning types would be running around the country if players had to stay in school 4 years now?
