        How many are there in any given year? What percentage in the last 10 years have been male? Female?

            I'm sorry. There were a few too many bellys trying out for WU in that video. Please pick someone who can really dance! That is imperative.

              Dave Johnson is the man

              This month, as Wichita State celebrates the 60th anniversary of the university’s mascot, WuShock, Dave Johnson’s contributions to the first WuShock costume will be honored.

                "Unfortunately, the original WuShock doesn’t exist anymore. After WU hit a last-second shot against rival Oklahoma A&M in Stillwater, the hostile crowd went after Johnson.

                The only thing left was the head."

                  If I hear that on the radio one more time, someone besides me is going to feel pain.

                  Does he have no one who loves him?

                    There must be multiple ones. A couple of years ago, there was one that was at least 6 feet (I know because I gave a photo of him with my son, who's tall), and then I went to a business open house, and the Wu in attendance was about my height (5'7").

                      From a 2014 Eagles article:

                      So, how many WuShocks are there?
