It was Missouri's turn at the podium today, and Eli Drinkwitz took the opportunity to crack a joke about how somebody accidentally played Texas A&M's fight song when Steve Sarkisian was walking up to the stage.

"Drink" has always been one of the more witty coaches in the league and one of his first comments at the podium were:
"Well, we got the right fight song. That's improvement""

It'll forever be a mystery as to whether or not it was an intentional jab at the Texas head coach, and even though you'd think that the SEC would have the correct audio in order for the big day, it was probably just an honest mistake.
One thing's for sure, it'll be a funny blunder that's remembered for years to come, and don't be surprised if it's referenced again at future conference events.
