Missouri's football team, on the other hand, has taken a more conservative approach after scoring touchdowns. The Tigers are celebrating by using what's become more familiar on the ice or the diamond...and that's the handshake.

"It's actually something everyone is in to," says wide receiver Greg Bracey. "So it's pretty cool actually."

"It's just something we like to do, something that will hopefully and it's obviously drawn some attention," says tight end Martin Rucker.

In the past, the Tigers have celebrated touchdowns like most teams, by jumping up and down and hugging each other. But the idol days of June and July left plenty of time to allow the player's creative juices to flow.

"We came up with it this summer," says running back Tony Temple.  "Hey, we want to act like we've been there before. We want to take it more business like.

"We've got a lot of time out there on the football field," says Bracey. "You come up with a lot of things that some of them stick and some of them don't.

Finding out when the idea started was fairly easy to find out. But hunting down who exactly was the mastermind behind the handshake has been as difficult as stopping the Tigers spread offense. Although many believe it was tight end Martin Rucker's idea.

"Nope it wasn't me," says Rucker. "I think it was Tommy Saunders. But you're not the first person to ask me that."

"I don't know," says wide receiver Jeremy Maclin. "I just know that Will Franklin told me that's what we're going to do."

"A couple of the receivers, Tommy Saunders maybe a few of the other guys, just started doing it in practice and during the summer and stuff," says tight end Chase Coffman. "It's just kind of caught on."

Now there is one Tiger who has taken claim to the shake, although his Tiger teammates might have something to say about that.

"I mean I'm going to take credit for it because I'm the one who told everyone I think we should do it," says Temple. "Everyone was celebrating and "I'm usually blocking and chop blocking. I can't run down there and jump up and celebrate. So hey, let's take this more businesslike and start shaking hands."

Temple said it was his idea?  "That's Temple," says Rucker.

The Tigers have already scored 22 touchdowns this season, accounting for a lot of handshakes. And it looks like that number could triple before the season comes to an end.

"It's good for our teammates," says Temple. "That's how we want to approach the game. We want to finish four quarters of the game."

"We're used to being in the endzone," says quarterback Chase Daniel. "Hopefully we can continue to get into the endzone."
