LOOK AT THOSE RASCALS WAVING THE WHEAT! KANSAS FOOTBALL, 1950

KU wasn’t too bad way back then. That year was in a 7-year postwar stretch (‘46-’52) where they won about 70% of their games.

They pretty much fell off the face of the earth when their neighbors to the north and south woke their programs up.

A lot of those running plays look strikingly familiar. Football hasn’t really changed all that much.

OPS, you hush up. Kansas football is a juggernaut waiting to happen. Today a blurb on EDSBS, tomorrow…the world*!

(JUGGERNAUT I SAY.)

*World in this case represents the PetroSun Independence Bowl in Shreveport, LA. Baby steps, folks.

Will the real Kansas please stand up? The team that beat USF or the one that lost to Toledo?

Do they still wave the wheat out there in Lawrence?

I was there when KU rolled up NU in 2005.

Rest assured, they can wave some wheat when they have cause.

How is a Nebraska beating so frequently the highlight of a team’s recent career?
Oh, maybe becuase it was the first win KU had one against the Huskers in 36 years. Good thing that’s over. Year 1 of the next streak is already in the books though. Sorry KU fans.
