on purpose everyone knows that this is real because they were they went really far in the tournament you know baby but I knew that so but I’m gonna say at not real just to make it interesting really yeah because that would be Wow would win right now okay I said that was right legend has it that the name first appeared in 1904 the team’s manager tows the shockers because many of the players earned money during the offseason harvesting or shocking wheat in the surrounding field so when you harvest that’s called shocking wheat okay so I’ve gotten five out of seven so I got two chances to be
