Not a lot of Jayhawk-specific news today. This is most decidedly a good thing. Instead we can drown our sorrows in the seemingly random nature of today's miscellaneous links.

Jayhawk men's golf 8th at CSU tourney | KUsports.com

Mark Emmert talks college basketball, NBA draft rules, more | One And One - SI.com

Interesting take for Emmert, especially given the implications. I'm still kind of partial to the baseball rules for declaring for the draft.

Fan dashes onto the field during Rays game in only his tighty-whiteys and tries to steal second base | Big League Stew - Yahoo Sports

"Jackass" wannabe.  See what kind of fans I have to deal with down here?

Mariano Rivera's retirement gifts, ranked - Yahoo News

Some of these were pretty cool.  How did Rivera get the sand sculpture home?
