The Mid-Morning Dump - 8/29/16

OH CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN. Matt Campbell named his captains for the 2016 season.

SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY. Why accepting his newfound stardom will help Michael Warren do even more.

PASS RUSHING JUMP? Can the Cyclones take their pass rush to the next level this year?

TIME AWAY WAS NEEDED. Jacob Park learned a lot about football while not playing it.

FOR THE KIDS. The team hosted a Victory Day for children with disabilities.

NOT ON THE SADNESS LIST! Bill Connelly’s ranking of every college football team leaves Iowa State as decidedly mediocre.

MISSED FIELD GOALS CAN BE TOUCHDOWNS? Iowa State would be so good with Madden glitch rules!

SOMERSAULT NO GOAL. This high school soccer player probably should have been awarded the goal anyway.

KAEP SPEAKS. Agree or not with his refusal to stand for the National Anthem, Colin Kaepernick is more thought out about this than you probably imagined.

HAIR MARKER. Carlos Beltran finds a way to get super clean lines.

AUSSIE RULES. Cal and Hawaii celebrated their touchdowns in Australia in Australian ways.

WHILE NDSU ENTERTAINED. North Dakota State and Charleston Southern went to overtime, and it was fun.

THE MOST EXCITING THING ABOUT PRESEASON FOOTBALL. Bats banging in the end zone.

THIS EXISTS. Can’t wait til they make an Iowa State-Iowa version of this.
