The main difference I see is that Drink's teams win most of the games they're supposed to win and some of the tossups or games they're not supposed to win.

Pinkel's teams won most of the games they were supposed but rarely won the tossups (Auburn for SEC x-ship) and never won the games they weren't supposed to win (OU in '07).

Pinkel's teams seemed to wilt under the brightest lights, whereas Drink's teams seem to keep their composure. Not only that, adversity seems to drive them to another gear (this year's UK game), whereas the wheels could come off with Pinkel's teams ('08 disaster at Austin).

Just my take. Anyone else see it this way?

               Mizzou wasn't predicted to go to the conference title game - SatoriTiger JC - 12/6 17:35:20
                    yeah, the middle ground on "supposed to win" can get really - alwaysright MU - 12/6 17:41:06
                         When you extend the "suppose to win" concept - SatoriTiger JC - 12/6 17:44:51
                         How big was the LSU victory - meatiger MU - 12/6 17:44:30
                              It’s based on how surprising it was in the moment. I’m not - alwaysright MU - 12/7 10:18:12
                         I'd agree with this - cooter MU - 12/6 17:43:29
               If you are only counting championship games - cooter MU - 12/6 17:33:38
                    That pretty much shuts this conversation down right there - STLTIGER MU - 12/6 17:49:47
                    And if we aren't - cooter MU - 12/6 17:35:21
                         ku ws technically #2 when Mizzou beat them in Arrowhead - SatoriTiger JC - 12/6 17:37:52
                              But we knew is was BS. - alwaysright MU - 12/6 17:41:42
                                   Yes, but it was still a big time night game - SatoriTiger JC - 12/6 17:46:15
     Pinkel won 10 or more games 5 times - SatoriTiger JC - 12/6 17:18:43
          I knew someone would think I was knocking Pinkel. - molon labe KC - 12/6 17:26:14
               Pinkel did not have the talent to compete - meatiger MU - 12/6 17:34:32
               Oh, I didn't realize you were able to quantify - SatoriTiger JC - 12/6 17:28:06

               nm * - SatoriTiger JC - 12/6 17:25:07
                    nm (nm) - SatoriTiger JC - 12/6 17:25:13
                         Fixed where I replied. - cooter MU - 12/6 17:26:05
     it's one year, let's let some more data come in (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 12/6 17:16:47
     I look at it a little differently. PInkel won some big games - alwaysright MU - 12/6 17:16:20
          Drink seems to be willing to make bigger changes faster... - molon labe KC - 12/6 17:22:18
               People didn't know WTF they were talking about during Pinkel - STLTIGER MU - 12/6 17:45:55
                    ^ this (nm) - SatoriTiger JC - 12/6 17:49:51
               Pinkel also had a track record - meatiger MU - 12/6 17:31:41
                    Drink has been improving the program year over year - SatoriTiger JC - 12/6 17:41:21
                         His COVID year was very good - meatiger MU - 12/6 17:45:48
                              If you just look at W-L then yes - SatoriTiger JC - 12/6 17:49:26
                                   Our offense was putrid last year - meatiger MU - 12/6 17:55:48
                                        I'm not giving him credit for the loses - SatoriTiger JC - 12/6 18:00:40
     Guess it depends on the year you are looking at - meatiger MU - 12/6 17:13:35
