The Mid-Morning Dump - 1/27/12

IOWA STATE OVERLOAD. Already somewhat covered, but ESPN seems to have declared 1/26/2012 Iowa State Day, with a look at Royce White's past, his taking of a leadership role, and another on the return of the Mayor.

KO RISING. After we all thought Kelechi Osemele might fall from his preseason first round projection well into the 2nd or 3rd round, he seems to be making a comeback, falling in the first round in both SBNation's and the National Football Post's mock drafts.

BEATING IOWA STATE IN 2011 IS A PREREQUISITE FOR AN NFL JOB. Or so it appears. Greg Schiano is Tampa Bay's new coach, while Mike Sherman looks poised to take over Miami's offense. Kirk Ferentz? Still hanging out in Iowa City after months of KC rumors.

QB TWITTER FIGHT! Incoming QB Chad Kelly is already telling teammates he's coming for their spot. Predictably, it was not received well. If only Twitter was around for the Austen Arnaud-Phil Bates QB saga...

NEINAS IS A HATER. Chuck makes some strong statements on Mizzou and the Big East, while saying West Virginia will play in the Big 12 next year.

FRAN FRAN FRAN. Iowa lost to Nebrasketball last night, which no one cares about. But it did provide freakout 1 and freakout 2 of Fran McCaffrey.
