They literally would have been better off drafting an epileptic plumber who can't read, and just paying him to stay home and watch cartoons and play with his wrench.

great sports quote
This Yahoo! sports blog, Shutdown Corner, contains your great sports quote of the day. It's about the San Diego Chargers' decision to draft Ryan Leaf to play quarterback 10 years ago:

it's not our fault
On Friday morning, a magnitude 5.2 earthquake shook the midwest. Though it was centered in southeastern Illinois, it was felt as far west as Kansas.
Well, I did not feel the quake. But it did wake me up--in Kansas. At that time Friday morning, I was awakened by the sound of rattling--not sure if it was a chandelier or barrister bookcase doors or something else, but the rattling seemed to last for a long time. I looked at the clock and fell right back to sleep. Only later in the day, when I read the news, did I realize what it was that caused what I heard.

the champs
Sure enough, the Kansas Jayhawks won the NCAA basketball championship last night. Awesome! If you recall, the football team won the Orange Bowl in January and finished with the best record in all of college football (and except for one unfortunate loss to the University of Missouri, could have been national champs in football as well). KU is on a roll.

shoe-wearing birds fly
OK, so I said I would leave sports out of the blog after Houston Nutt resigned.
Well, now you can't hold me to that when a school we are connected to is playing for the national championship in basketball tonight. That's right the Kansas Jayhawks could win it all tonight by beating the Memphis Tigers. GO KU!
How are we connected to KU, you ask? OK, well Mrs. kcrazorback has a Master's degree in integrated marketing communications from the University of Kansas making her a real Jayhawk--even if her classes were in Overland Park and she's never even been to the main campus in Lawrence except for a football game. Worse, she's not even a fan.
Secondly, kcrazorback himself has a University of Kansas mini-MBA--which is not really a degree but it is branded Jayhawk. Not to mention the fact that we've lived almost our whole adult lives where Kansas is the closest major university.
So, it's a little bit of a stretch, but we're Jayhawks. Rock! Chalk! Jayhawk! KU!
