Chalmers, Rush get denied at local club
Certain perks are supposed to come with returning to Lawrence less than six months after winning a national championship.
At least, Brandon Rush and Mario Chalmers thought so. They found out otherwise last Thursday night.
Rush and Chalmers, the two leading scorers from last year's NCAA Champion Jayhawks, were in town to receive their championship rings.
They wanted some thing to do the night before the ceremony. Abe & Jake's Landing, 8 E. Sixth Street, seemed like the place to be. It was hosting the Kansan's "Sex on the
Hill" party that night.
So off went Rush and Chalmers — two millionaires who are undoubtedly still two of the most popular people in Lawrence.
Not at Abe & Jake's. Rush and Chalmers strolled up the VIP line at the bar but were denied entrance. The employee at the door apologized. Abe & Jake's was over its capacity.
They'd occasionally gathered for a social outing or two at Abe & Jake's during their college years, never had a problem getting in. Why would they? If anything, Rush and Chalmers figured a national championship and NBA dollars would only make it easier to go anywhere they wanted in Lawrence.
"We got shut down last night,
man," Rush said Friday night after the ring ceremony.
Rush and Chalmers couldn't believe it. Could they really not get into the bar along the river that they frequented during their days as Jayhawks?
What happened next confused them even more. A couple of KU students walked up the VIP line and explained they had already been at the "Sex on the Hill" party but had to step outside to help a friend who had gotten sick.
They wanted back in and Abe and lake's let them in. Rush and Chalmers were forced to stay out. Chris Whitchurch, Wichita senior, was one of those students.
"It was a pretty awesome feeling." Whitchurch said.
So Brandon, had you ever been denied access to a bar in Lawrence
like this before?
"Never," Rush said.
After the ring ceremonyFriday night, Rush said he planned to hit the town once again with some other former Kansas basketball players. But Rush laughed at the assumption that he could show
older players around Lawrence.
"I don't know anything right now," Rush said. "I can't get into places now."
WANT A CHAMPIONSHIP RING?
The question may have been cruel, but it had to be asked.
After the ring ceremony Friday night, a reporter asked Darnell Jackson who from last year's team was most likely to sell their championship ring on eBay in 20 years? Jackson laughed, but didn't hesitate with his answer.
"Id probably say Rodrick Stewart," Jackson said.

SOFTBALL
Weekend tournament will open fall season
The Kansas softball team opens up its season at home tomorrow with a doubleheader at the annual Fall Invitational. The tournament goes through Sunday.
This season comes after a year that saw three teams from the Big 12 conference — Oklahoma, Missouri and Texas A&M—win their respective regions, with Texas A&M making it to the national championship, where the team lost.
The Jayhawks look to improve upon last year's 37-19 record. In the first game of the doubleheader the Jayhawks will play the Butler County Community College Grizzlies, a team that went to the Junior College
FOOTBALL
Despite prolonged slump, Anderson still set to start
BEREA, Ohio — Derek Anderson has kept his starting quarterback job with Cleveland for now.
On Sunday the Jayhawks are scheduled to play Washburn, a team that was knocked out of the Division II North Central Regional last year by Minnesota State. In the second game on Sunday the Jayhawks will again play Emporia State.
Anderson, who was ineffective during the Browns' three-game losing streak, will start against the Cincinnati Bengals.
World Series and finished No.10 in the nation in the NJCAA. In the second game the Jayhawks will face off with the Division II Emporia State Hornets. Last year the Hornets finished No.2 in the nation after losing to No.8 Humboldt State in the national championship of the Division II World Series.
All three opponents, despite not being Division I teams, should provide solid competition and be a good gauge of the season to come for the Jayhawks.

Anderson made the Pro Bowl last season but has been in a slump since late 2008.
Coach Romeo Crennel considered benching Anderson for popular backup Brady Quinn, who has played in only one game as a pro. Crennel refused to give reasons for sticking with Anderson.
