Pinkel pleaded guilty last week to a Class B misdemeanor for driving while intoxicated. He’ll likely get a 30-day suspended sentence and serve two years’ probation. Mizzou suspended him for a week, a penalty that ends just in time for Saturday’s showdown.
Driving drunk is dumb enough, but Pinkel didn’t exactly come off as an intellectual during his arrest. We know this, thanks to the dash-cam footage released by the Boone County Sheriff’s Office. You can practically hear KU fans licking their beaks at the chance to mock Pinkel’s poor judgment. Now, we’re not about to take sides, but we do have some new chants and rallying cries to suggest for the big game. Shout along with us:
NERVOUS!
Five minutes and 12 seconds into the video, Pinkel can be heard telling the deputy: “I’m just very nervous.” The cop replies, “It’s a little chilly out here.” Pinkel stands his ground: “No, I’m not chilly. I’m nervous.”
M-I-Z-E-F-G-H-R
A couple of minutes later, the deputy begins to administer a field-sobriety check. “What I’m going to ask you to do is start at the letter E and end at the letter R. Start at E and end at R.”
Pinkel: “E-F-G-H-R. Was that good? ... Did I pass that test right there?”
Deputy: “Well, there’s other letters between H and R.”
Pinkel: “A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-R.”
You Can’t Count!
Another test goes haywire at the eight-minute mark.
Deputy: “Can you start at the number 73 and end at the number 62?”
Pinkel: “Backwards?”
Deputy: “Backwards.”
Pinkel: “I can’t do that normally! Are you kidding me?”
JUMBO!
Ninety seconds later …
Deputy: “You had two glasses of wine in an hour and a half. ... What kind of wine was it? Red wine? White wine?”
Pinkel: “Red.”
Deputy: “Were they normal-sized glasses?”
Pinkel: “Jumbo.”
Ambien!
After Pinkel has been bundled into the back of a cruiser, Pinkel’s attorney speaks up for his client.
Bogdan Susan: “He hasn’t slept for I don’t know how long. He’s a mess. I can’t believe he’s drunk.”

Only royal douche bags take pictures of themselves with their shirts off in front of a mirror. Such a tool!!
I hope woodpecker fans are ready for the colon-throbbing a$$-beating that's coming the Jayhawks way on Saturday.
I'm so glad this is the last border game. I'm sick of all the idiots in Kansas City pretending this is a good rivalry. This is a bandwagon rivalry between two teams with bandwagon fans. They are selling tickets for $15 for fucks sake, they can't give these tickets away. This rivalry game has been good exactly once. Every other time nobody cared, not even their own fans.
