For his new touchdown celebration, Missouri quarterback Drew Lock borrowed a concept from another famous Show-Me State resident.
Lock and the Tigers offense’s theme for the season is “Whammy!” a phrase made famous by actor David Koechner in the Anchorman movies. Koechner portrays sports anchor Champ Kind, who uses the phrase when showing highlights.
“So when we score touchdowns it’s Whammy now,” said Lock, who during the celebration plays air guitar with a teammate.
Lock knew Koechner was a Missouri native and got a shoutout from him. Koechner grew up in Tipton, just south of Jefferson City, and briefly studied at MU before moving to Chicago to start his comedy career.
