Sounds like a grudging respect for eachother as coaches, but it doesn't sound like it goes much past that (the respect aspect of it).

Don't think Pinkel misses DC much

I would think you're wrong there...there's a lot of people unhappy with Yost now as OC here at Mizzou and wishing they had DC back. Of course, if you're the same Kahuna Poke from the Rivals board, I'm sure that's your wet dream. If you're a different Kahuna POKE, my sincere apologies.
Appears that Pinkel has his hands full today with his star recruit getting busted for drugs in the parking lot..

one in the same hell bass
why would it be my wet dream? I just love how people want to connect the two when in fact the opposite is true. Do you ever see Pinkel's glowing endorsements? Its just the same ole coachspeak type stuff, hardly the "we go way back and he's my brother type stuff"
I consider DC a self promoted fraud much like our current president. UW and our country deserves much better.
Ault is a hard guy and I imagine the "he can hire himself" comments will not go unnoticed. Saturday should be fun too bad its in Reno and not in Laramie!

Also of note: a Nevada DL (or LB, don't remember which) as said he's going to sack Brett Smith 5 times this weekend and probably return a couple of pick 6's. Bold.

I've been in Columbia for almost 6 years now. I've seen a lot of Mizzou and WYO football with DC on both sides. There's not doubt the play calling has suffered since DC left...it's pretty obvious, and the South Carolina and CSF games the last 2 weeks have cemented that in my mind. DC and Pinkel coached together for YEARS at multiple stops...I don't think it's crazy to speculate a reunion between the 2 would be unwelcome just because they don't glowingly endorse each other on a daily basis. They don't play in the same conference, and Mizzou and WYO never play each other (until 2018 of course). I can't remember the last time a local media member even brought the subject up. FYI...I'm not a big Pinkel fan, but I do respect that he's won WAY more football games at Mizzou than anyone ever has here. That aside, he pretty much seems like an ass, and in contrast to DC, no one in Columbia has ever come up to me and said how much they like Pinkel.
I say it's your wet dream because it's obvious you want DC gone...it's cool. You're entitled to your opinion and I respect that. I quite honestly just don't get all the hate. I know several people here in Columbia who have close relationships with DC and they all speak very well of him. In fact, all I've ever heard is DC is a very conservative dude who likes to do the things the old fashioned way...hard work and sacrifice. In this regard, it's my perspective (and this comes from sources in direct personal conversations with DC) that he likes Wyoming and Laramie for exactly these reasons. He's instilled this into the program at UW and I think we all know discipline was sorely lacking, despite Joe Glenn was a great guy who no doubt we would have all loved to succeed at Wyoming. We've also been to 2 bowl games in 3 years which we haven't seen as POKES fans since the Tiller years. Has it been a perfect marriage...I'll be the 1st to admit it hasn't. There has been some serious inconsistency and the defense has been awful. However, I think DC deserves credit for changing things up when they aren't working by hiring guys like Brandon and Tormey. Maybe Tormey won't work out as well as Brandon has, but it's still a risk worth taking. Despite the fact the defense has been awful his year, I would say the team looks as much like those wacky WAC days as it has in a long time in regards to the offense. I could care less DC is zinging Ault...I think it spices things up a little bit in a dull coach speak world...and you're right, Saturday is gonna be more interesting than POKES fans might have thought and if it was in Laramie, there would be some colorful adjectives tossed around at the Wolfpack by the student section!
And yah, DGB is a hot topic here in Columbia today Mr. T. He hasn't made that big an impact until last week though...we'll see how Pinkel handles it.

I think the folks in Columbia miss Mr Daniels - Kind of like how Poke fans will miss Mr Smith.
Just think DC is concocted like the two plane tickets he bought to Jouston

HAHA yes!
Brett has no problem shoving D-linemen and linebackers around. He showed that against Texas when one of those HUGE D-linemen hit him late and brett smith got up to shove him.
Brett Smith is going to go off tomorrow, unfortunately so will the nevada offense

Nevada has the right to talk shit.....on offense. And there are few human beings that can claim 5 sacks are coming and I'll believe them.....what, Jason Pierre-Paul? Julius Peppers? 5 sacks is a great total for an entire season.
Wyoming's offensive line is as bad as they come, but seriously? That's more than just confident.

Seems to me that the reporter is stretching to concoct a feud...not much there if you ask me. The only one that should be motivated by hard feelings would be Tormey. And if revenge is what it takes to light a fire under him and his defense - I will personally dress in our coming opponents' school garb and kick his dog every freaking weekend going forward.
