Missouri Tigers head coach Eli Drinkwitz suggested he was unhappy with the officiating in his team's defeat to Texas, but stopped short of explicit criticism to avoid potential fines. Speaking at the SEC Football Kickoff Media Day in Tampa on July 20, 2026, Drinkwitz told reporters, "If I say what I want to say, I'm gonna get fined." The comments came after the Tigers' loss to the Longhorns, though specific details of the game and the disputed calls were not disclosed.
