The Mid-Morning Dump: 9/29/15

Iowa State Football

THANKS, TOMMY. Thanks to his flip to Indiana last January, RB Tommy Mister gifted us Mike Warren. But is Warren a gift that will keep on giving?

THANKS, OTHER TOMMY. Texas Tech-Iowa State kickoff details have been released.

The Iowa State at Texas Tech football game will kick at 2:30 p.m. and be televised on FSN. #Cyclones

THANKS, KAMARI. ISU's newest commit, three-star ATH Lawrence White (Bakersfield, CA) was ultimately lured to Ames by Kamari Cotton-Moya — his cousin.

CHICAGO BULLS MEDIA DAY. Fred Hoiberg took to the podium for his first Media Day as the head coach of the Bulls on Monday. Storylines here, if you're interested.

The Ladies

PUBLIC INTOX. Sophomore C Bryanna Fernstrom, 20, has been charged with public intoxication stemming from a Sep. 19 incident.

THE GAUNTLET. The volleyball team travels to face Oklahoma tomorrow and No. 3 Texas on Saturday.

Around The Country

SMU PENALTIES. Stemming from the illegal recruitment of former McDonald's All-American Keith Frazier, SMU has been banned from the 2016 postseason. Larry Brown will serve a "10 percent" (three-game) suspension and the Mustangs will lose three scholarships through 2018.

OUTFIELD COLLISION. This is the collision that sent Cardinals rookie CF Stephen Piscotti out on a stretcher. Miraculously, all tests were negative.

PARACHUTING ACCIDENT. Action-athlete Erik Roner died in a parachuting accident yesterday morning performing in opening ceremonies for a celebrity golf tournament.

WE GET IT, AARON. Aaron Rodgers torched the Chiefs for five touchdowns last night, and the Packers are now 3-0.

AND THE STREAK IS DEAD! See this? This video right year? This is a clip of a Chiefs WR catching a touchdown for the first time in EIGHTEEN GAMES.

They did it! A Chiefs wide receiver scored a touchdown! http://t.co/wWGseBrvVx pic.twitter.com/zGzDEEimbU

WEST VIRGINIA FOOTBALL SHOULD TERRIFY YOU. The Mountaineers, by way of Dana Holgorsen's air raid offense and Tony Gibson's shockingly stout defense, are now ranked, rolling and dangerous as fuck.

IMMEDIATE CASH PAYOUTS! JUST NOT TO THE GEORGIA TECH PLAYERS WHOSE LIKENESSES WE RIPPED OFF FOR OUR COMMERCIAL!

YOUR MOVE, ESS EEE SEE. The Cali Pac-12 is OUTCHEA.

This week’s AP poll is also the first to feature all four of the Pac-12’s California schools since 1992, Week 7.

PREPARE FOR DEATH. Ignoring momentarily that Iowa State is ONLY 74TH WORST on this list, Eastern Michigan claims the nation's most putrid rush defense (to the tune of 373 yards/game and 18 TD through four weeks). Saturday, they get this mythological creature and Heisman frontrunner.

POINTS. The over/under for Baylor-Texas Tech has opened at 85.5. It would be the second-highest ever, surpassing Baylor-Oklahoma State's 88-point line in 2012.
