A source with knowledge of the situation indicated Pinkel will not coach Saturday’s home game against Texas Tech and will serve the same penalty handed down to players arrested for DWI, which has typically been a two-game suspension. Missouri (5-5, 3-4 Big 12) finishes the regular season against Kansas on Nov. 26 in Kansas City.

As it said in my most recent story, Pinkel is not expected to contest any charges. His statement essentially admitted guilt.

It looks like he had quite a few drinks with his dinner!

He doesn't look [expletive] faced to my untrained eye.

/semi trained eye, actually

Yeah, that's just what Pinkel looks like. Minus the visor, of course.

According to the probable cause statement released by the Boone County Circuit Clerk and first posted by KSDK-TV in St. Louis, officers observed him driving his Chevy Navigator north on Highway 63 at 10:09 Wednesday night, and when he exited onto Broadway Pinkel failed to signal for a lane change. He made a wide right turn at the top of the exit ramp from the left turn lane. As he approached Keene Street, Pinkel made a wide left turn and crossed the double yellow line several feet before the intersection. His vehicle nearly struck a curb as he turned left into a parking lot.

When approached by the officer, Pinkel’s eyes appeared glassy and bloodshot and the officer detected a strong odor of alcohol on his breath. Pinkel said he drank two glasses of wine between 8 and 9:30. He declined a field sobriety test because of an Achilles’ tendon injury and agreed to do other tests that would not require walking. The officer detected signs of impairment during the tests and requested a blood sample, which Pinkel declined to submit. He agreed to be transported to Boone Hospital for a blood draw “due to exigent circumstances.” The statement does not indicate the results of those tests.
