Kickers and special teamers are very unique people. They all have their rituals and quirks, along with some hilariously awkward celebrations when they try to show off their excitement after nailing a big kick.
Well, Northwestern Wildcats kicker Jack Olsen reminded us all of this on Saturday.
After booting a 45-yard field goal to give Northwestern an early 3-0 lead over Nebraska in the first quarter of the Wildcats’ Week 8 contest, Olsen busted out an incredible “milk the cow” celebration where he held out his thumbs like udders and made his teammates milk them.
Seriously. Check it out:

If we are all being honest here, this is way better than any griddy we’ve ever seen.
Olsen would later boot another field goal — this one from 37 yards out, to give the Wildcats a 6-3 lead with 5:48 left in the first half.
Unfortunately for Northwestern and their fans, Nebraska was able to find the endzone with just 23 seconds left in the half to take a 10-6 lead into the break after a three-yard run from Heinrich Haarberg.
Let’s just hope Olsen gets a chance to line up with the game on the line because we already know a successful kick would mean his celly would be legendary.
