Eli Drinkwitz Reveals Pre-Game Snub From Former LSU Coach Ed Orgeron In 2020

Missouri's Eli Drinkwitz revealed last week that former LSU coach Ed Orgeron snubbed him of a handshake during pregame of the 2020 matchup in Columbia.

Drinkwitz recently discussed the situation on the "25 Whistles with Bobby Bones" podcast. Per The Telegraph:

Bones then asked Drinkwitz about the pre-game talk between coaches. Bones asked, "Do you have to go talk to the other head coach before the game?"

"Apparently you don't have to," Drinkwitz said. "(LSU head coach) Ed Orgeron didn't come shake my hand before the first time we played them. And that's was really the first time and only time I've ever had that happen. So I guess you don't have to."

Missouri faced LSU during Drinkwitz's first season as the Mizzou head coach on Oct. 10, 2020. Missouri beat LSU 45-41. It marked Drinkwitz's first win as the Mizzou football head coach.
