New Kansas football coach Les Miles’ unofficial introduction to KU fans on Saturday included him tasting some turf.
Miles, who came to center court with a microphone during KU’s men’s basketball game against Stanford at Allen Fieldhouse, took a pinch of grass that was held by mascot Baby Jay. Miles then put it in his mouth, replicating a famous moment he had on the sidelines with LSU.
“Kansas wheat grass,” Miles said with a smile, before giving a thumbs up.
Miles’ comments were brief — less than two minutes in fact. He said his group was a “talented team” and promised the Jayhawks would work hard.
