    On the subject of Shocker puns in the National media

    I found this beauty on ESPN.com

    5. America hit a home run with the "Shocker" puns after Wichita State upset Gonzaga.
    Pat yourselves on the back, America. You really stepped up to the plate and knocked it out of the park Saturday night. As the Wichita State-Gonzaga game was coming to a close, two thoughts came to mind: Does anyone realize that Wichita State's nickname is the name of a sexual act that junior high kids like to make jokes about? And does anyone realize that, considering Gonzaga is a 1-seed and Wichita State is a 9-seed, this game could be described as a "shocker"? By god, America, you answered both of these questions via Twitter and Facebook, and the results are in: Every person on earth realizes both of these things. Bravo, everybody. Go ahead and take the rest of the week off.

    Haha and one thing that no one cares about is that it also has relevance to Kansas and farming.

    I almost wish we could be referred to as the wheat shockers for a year just so the world could pull their heads out and figure it out.

    And somebody needs to make an image of our student section holding up the "W" shocker and say 'sorry middle schoolers, its just a W'

      My favorite pun from one of the other threads was "Wheat Sixteen."

        The person who wrote that may think America hit a home run, but he struck out with his single-minded focus on a sex act.

        Why bring attention to stupidity with more stupidity? And why would an "adult" dwell on something so juvenile?

        If people want to make a thing of our name, it is not our problem to solve.

          I love that Reese Davis always say WheatShockers. It's a shame everyone is lazy and shortened it.

              If the Shocks ever go to another conference, you'll have to get a new account or maybe the admins can just have yours changed like they did with BOBB.

                I found it dripping with sarcasm. Like, "Shut up already!"

                  This has nothing to do with "Shocker" puns, but it's pretty good. Especially the first comment!

                    Having trouble with your sarcasm detector when you read that? It was quite obviously dripping with sarcasm.
