The Mid-Morning Dump: Uranus is Full of Surprises

Iowa State Football

INTERNETTIN' WITH NETTEN. How an email from a stranger turned around Cole Netten's season.

OHHHHH WI. Running back Sheldon Croney was charged with an OWI early yesterday morning.

SHE LEFT EARLY. Bobby La Gesse writes how Cinderella didn't make it to the fourth quarter against Oklahoma State.

INSPIRED BY RHOADS. Brian Peavy was inspired by words from Paul Rhoads and has played well this season.

THEY RESPONDED! Unfortunately for Iowa State, the Big 12 saw no issues with the spot of the ball late in the game against OSU.

WATCHIN' FOR THE WOODEN. Monte Morris and Georges Niang were named to the preseason Wooden Award watch list.

CYCLONE REUNION. Dreamy and Horny will coach against each other tonight in Phoenix. Besides their school, they share a unique bond: Johnny Orr.

MOVIN' ON UP? It's possible the Cyclones could jump into the top 5 of the AP poll with the teams in front of them losing.

The #4, #5, and #6 teams have all lost this week. Iowa State is #7.

IS URANUS FULL OF SURPRISES? Scientists think so!

JAYHAWK TEARS. Kansas lost a hard-fought game to Michigan State last night.

BIG 12 INCOMING. Oklahoma State and Oklahoma are 6th and 7th, respectively in the latest CFB playoff rankings.

WILL THEY LOSE? The Golden State Warriors won their 12th consecutive game and are now 12-0 on the season.

THROWBACK SHORTS. Speaking of the Warriors, Steph Curry looks pretty good in these throwback shorts. Too bad he didn't wear them without the compression pants.

PORZINGIS THE DREAM? Knicks rookie Kristaps Porzingis busted out one of Hakeem Olajuwon's signature moves in last night's game.

CASUAL 3-POINTER. R. Kelly makes a 3-pointer while wearing a turtleneck, in a suit, with glasses on and smoking a cigar.

STAR WARS DUMP! The folks who put together Honest Trailers just did one for the original Star Wars.
