There are college football players who transfer from one school to another, play against their original school, and have that game serve as a kind of friendly reunion.
It seems highly unlikely that Colorado cornerback D.J. McKinney is one of those players.
With 14:25 left in the Buffaloes' game against Oklahoma State on Friday, McKinney snared a pass from Cowboys quarterback Maealiuaki Smith and ran it back for a touchdown. After the score—which put Colorado up 45–0 after its extra point—McKinney celebrated by miming a dog urinating, drawing a flurry of unsportsmanlike conduct flags.
McKinney's celebration recalled the most famous dog-urination celebration in college football history—Ole Miss wide receiver Elijah Moore's celebration during the 2019 Egg Bowl, after which the Rebels missed a potential game-tying PAT with four seconds left.
A native of Colleyville, Texas, McKinney spent 2022 to '23 with Oklahoma State, recording 40 total tackles in 18 games.
