Dear Wichita State, Please Explain The Real Meaning Behind “The Shockers” So We Can Stop Making Dane Cook Jokes

One in the final four, and none in the stink: Shockers are people who harvest wheat, apparently. That being said, what the hell is with the mascot? Is it a stalk of wheat, or a partially exploded Polly-O string cheese? Rastafarian Bart Simpson? Wikipedia, activate explanation!

In 2006 it was decided to once again update the Wu costume. The general consensus was that many wanted the costume to more accurately reflect the depiction of WU in the school's logo. The new WuShock now has the ability to run, jump, and walk up stairs without help.

Ok, so it can run up stairs without help. Great. Because before, the Wichita State mascot was just an incredibly inept piece of wheat. That just sounds like they hired a much more able-bodied person to put in the costume. Whatever the hell it is, it's going to be running up and down a lot of stairs at the football specific massive arena that is the Georgia Dome, when the Shockers face either the Blue Devils of the Cardinals next weekend.
