The Mid-Morning Dump: SNOW-SLIDING OTTER OVERLOADS CUTENESS METER

REALITY CHECK. Fresh off a win in Allen Fieldhouse, last night’s close loss to Texas was a huge missed opportunity.

INCONSISTENT. Yes, the Cyclones are still consistently inconsistent.

THUD. That’s the sound Iowa State’s performance made last night, says Randy Pete.

HIGHLIGHTS. Catch highlights of the L below.

YEAR TWO. This is how much better college football coaches do on Signing Day in year 2 than year 1 (Matt Campbell barely improved).

GRONK PARADE. Pictures of GRONK during the Super Bowl parade.

RIGGED!!!! Three reasons why the internet thinks the Super Bowl was totally rigged.

SURPRISE! Even Julian Edelman was surprised that he made that spectacular catch in the Super Bowl.

LOT OF POINTS. Lonzo Ball’s brother, LaMelo Ball, scored 92 points in a single high school game. Of note, his team just got done losing to ISU recruit Lindell Wigginton and Oak Hill Academy a few days ago.

DIRK...SPOILED. Dirk Nowitzki hit a dagger 3-pointer, only to have C.J. McCollum top it with a game-winner.

NOT 1... NOT 2... NOT 3... But FOUR overtimes were needed to settle South Carolina-Alabama.

290 POUNDS OF WIN. This is probably the heaviest college basketball game-winning jump shot we’ll see all season.

BATTLE AT THE BUZZER. Syracuse joined last night’s round of buzzer-beaters with a 3-pointer by Tyus Battle that helped them stun Clemson.

CUTENESS OVERLOAD. This otter having fun sliding down a hill is sure to make you grin.
