The Mid-Morning Dump - 11/9/15

Iowa State Football

WORSE THAN THE SCORE. Somehow, 52-16 wasn't even bad enough to show how bad it felt.

THAT'S LIKE.. HALF THE SPREAD IT WAS IN 2011! Oklahoma State opens as a 13.5 point favorite over Iowa State.

NOT A GOOD STAT. The Sooners had more yards on first down than the Cyclones had total.

NOT QUITE ON SATURDAY. Wally Burnham was saying that Joel Lanning is Collin Klein with a better arm.

Iowa State Basketball

PLAYER-COACH. In a strange reversal of roles, Steve Prohm actually often asks Georges Niang for advice.

IMPACT TRANSFERS. Both Hallice Cooke and Deonte Burton were featured on Jon Rothstein's top transfers list.

Iowa State Volleyball

SWEEP. Iowa State swept TCU with a dominating offensive performance.

Around The Country

STILL SEVENTH! There's a change at the top, but Iowa State remains in 7th in Big 12 blog's conference rankings.

MIZZOU. A group of players are boycotting due to school administration, and Gary Pinkel is in support of it. Meanwhile, if Mizzou has to cancel against BYU, they'll owe them $1 million.

PEEKABOO. Auburn hid a receiver behind the offensive line and executed a trick play to perfection.

YOU WOULDN'T LIKE AARON RODGERS WHEN HE'S ANGRY. Aaron Rodgers hates playing badly. Or he really hates Surface tablets.

KOBE BAD. Airballing layups is a thing for Kobe now.

NEYMAR IS GOOD AT SOCCER THINGS. Juggle, spin, goal. No big deal.

BE SAFE WITH FIREWORKS. Or you'll get to wear an oven mitt to play football.

GREG HARDY: NOT THE BEST HUMAN. The sordid story of Greg Hardy's domestic violence charges hit Deadspin over the weekend.

ALREADY BETTER THAN ME. This 6 year old has a mixtape, and she's a better dribbler than most of us already.

GOOD PAL.Sidney Crosby likes dishing out assists, but usually with a puck.

NOT A GOOD PAL. Meanwhile, the other Pennsylvania team is busy trying to decapitate each other.
