KU’s “Waving the wheat” a stupid tradition, says guy wearing corn on his head

OSBORN – High school student and Nebraska fan Tommy Harold described the “waving the wheat” tradition among University of Kansas students as “stupid” last Saturday during the Huskers’ 10-3 win over Oklahoma.

For years, the Jayhawk fans have celebrated touchdowns by raising their arms above their head and moving them side to side, as if to give the impression of Kansas wheat, waving in the wind.

Harold, wearing one of those giant yellow hats in the shape of a corn stalk, said the Jayhawk fans looked ridiculous when performing the waving action.

“What a bunch of ‘tards man,” said Harold, who, no kidding, has two separate corn hats, one for home games and one for watching tv while sitting on the couch. “Ooooo. Waving wheat. Because wheat grows in Kansas. How ingenious. Don’t they realize how stupid that makes them look?”
