CBS will Air Story on Kelby Telander/Kid Captain/The Wave prior to the Sep 7 ISU kick off. Kelby/The Wave also featured on the Today Show in Oct 2023

Watched it- very neat and good pr!
The Telander family is top notch and they raised a great kid.
Smith is an Iowa guy. He did a nice piece.
I can't wait to see the lifetime move in 20 years
He’s really a southside Chicago guy who was “Iowanized” by Central College, Pella, Iowa and Ron Schipper. He played on their D-3 National Championship football team.
Wow.
That's it.
That's the whole post.

What a terrific, uplifting story. Seeing Kelby going from the Kid Captain, to now a player on the team and embracing today's kid captain's is inspiring. It also goes to show just how impactful being a Kid Captain is to these kids. Add on The Wave, and our university has a lot to be proud of.
Incredible and wonderful story. I pray these wonderful stories don't go away when Iowa becomes a "semi-pro" team.
My son was in the Children's Hospital with leukemia in 2006 (he's fine now!) I can't imagine the thrill it would have been for him to be on the top floor getting waves from 70,000.

DAMMIT! Just when I get really mad at Kirk, this kind of stuff pops up!
I've said this a million times, probably in this thread.
I taught and coached Kelby. He is genuinely a great guy and a fantastic representative of the Hawks. This will be a great watch. He is a great athlete and probably would have been recruited differently had he not had an accident his senior year at his house. He is so instinctive that his hearing disability doesn't impact him nearly as much as you may think. I am cheering HARD for Kelby to get time!
