In last night’s NBA draft, a record-tying five players from a single school were drafted when my Kansas Jayhawks’ Brandon Rush, Darrell Arthur, Mario Chalmers, Darnell Jackson, and Sasha Kaun were all selected by the league. Compare that to North Carolina and Duke who had, um, none. Just sayin’.

Hillary argued that Memphis had passed every test during the game, including scoring more points than Kansas for 38 minutes.

(Yes, this is a joke. Barack Chalk Jayhawk!) Visit site »
