My wife, a KU grad, found out she was pregnant and our due date was earlier this week. I jokingly told her we could choose our son’s fandom from the result of this game. She agreed and several of our friends knew as well. I was never more nervous for one of these games. Could you imagine if we lost and then he had to watch his Jayhawks lose another 17 in a row?

Plot twist your son actually becomes a Wichita State fan. Quite the shocker the people are saying

Probably the best outcome. Then he can just avoid the stress of college football fandom altogether

Just like someone born 18 years ago, hopefully your child will also make it to college without seeing a KU win

The true test is if they like eating bugs, then you put em in purple.

Here's a fun bit of trivia: Nebraska literally used to have the nickname "Bugeaters"

My dad was a huge Sooners fan and exclusively called Nebraska the bugeaters.
