You never know what questions are going to be asked of players during the zany Super Bowl Opening Night.
Seahawks quarterback Drew Lock was interviewed by a smattering of reporters Monday night ahead of Super Bowl LX, and fortunately the queries were mostly tame.
But Lock was asked by Shay Moloney, a student reporter at Arizona State, about a viral moment during a 2016 Mizzou game at South Carolina.
Lock, who was a star at Lee’s Summit High School, was the Tigers’ starting quarterback at that time. After a Mizzou score, a fan threw a bottle on the field near Lock, and he picked it up and had a drink.
Was that water or something stronger?
“So going back on it, I wouldn’t ever do it again, but it was water, believe it or not,” Lock said. “The South Carolina fans ... were behaving, and it was water. Might have played a little better if it was something else. You never know, but it was water that day.”
Lock, who is the backup to Sam Darnold in Seattle, could become the third Mizzou quarterback to win a Super Bowl ring.
The others are Blaine Gabbert (Super Bowl LV with Tampa Bay and Super Bowl LVIII with the Chiefs) and Chase Daniel (Super Bowl XLIV with the Saints).
“They’re gritty guys, gritty guys,” Lock said. “Blaine Gabbert and Chase Daniel. I mean, the two legends. Both have a Super Bowl ring. Trying to just complete the triangle this week and keep the backup quarterback from the University of Missouri mantra alive.”
