Under Drinkwitz, Missouri begins to see itself differently - ESPN

EYEWEAR USED TO be a kind of prison until glasses became cool. Around the time jocks who never needed prescriptions began flaunting designer frames as a declaration of style.

Which was long after Eli Drinkwitz had been memorialized in pictures from his adolescence, dorked-out in big, round lenses he inherited from his older brother, Jeremy.

The head football coach of the Missouri Tigers has been the victim of lousy vision his whole life, and in his early 40s now seems the kind of glasses-wearer who forsakes image in favor of comfort.

His current pair being a good example: soft rectangular lenses with practically invisible frames. Only it turns out that Drink doesn't like his glasses at all.
