I agree totally!!! Hope his name just blends in with all the other names at UNC and his legacy is forgotten in a few short years. He would have been an icon at ISU and would never have been forgotten. Hope he's shunned by the Iowa State basketball community.
UNC it is.
- Thread starter brianhos
- Start date
How'd he do that? By signing another teams letter? You people are taking this too personally.
I love the movie Hoosiers too.
Watch the clip and feel better. I love our team this year. Next year. And every year. I am a Cyclone. I couldn't care less for people who do not choose to be Cyclones.

Just got back and settled from AHS. Disappointed, but have to move on. The only humor I could find in the situation is that about 1/4 the crowd didn't know where he was going after they showed RW. Guess he never said Carolina so most people didn't get it.
I will root against UNC, Deputy Dog Williams, and all their players...just like before HB's decision. That will especially include HB now. I wish them no success and will not apologize for it. Why wouldn't Iowa kids feel free to leave when half the Iowans just treat it as, "Oh well, I guess we are losers so I support you 100%." Screw that mentality. Prior to this announcement half the posters on this board were making better cases for other schools. It's Cyclone Fanatice not Cyclone Manic Depressent and it sure the hell isn't HB Fanatic. Do you think other communities would accept a kid leaving Chapel Hill or Lawrence? Hell no. It would not be accepted and I see no reason to accept it. He is a kid and he is free to choose where he wants to go to school and I am free to hope the decision turns into a disaster so it encourages other kids chhoose the Clones.
Personally, I think the best thing we can do is stop posting in these HB threads (after this one of course), and post about Idaho St. tonight, Colorado tomorrow, Bowl games, and our basketball outlook for this year. This is a good year in Cyclone sports.
Did you notice how when he said he would always be a Cyclone fan you could feel the energy leave the building...
Except he was never actually a Cyclone, so it's in no way the same thing. But aside from that, totally!!
What I don't get is not choosing a school that you say you love. How many times does a kid stay home and snub the big programs? A lot! These are the type of things that happen for lowly schools once in a blue moon, it's just ISU that gets these gonad shots repetitively. How much more money or exposure do you get going to UNC? I really don't get that.
I would rather play with a bunch of chumps and play for the school I love. Personally, I'm amazed that he doesn't think that the current Cyclone players are good. Isn't that what he's telling Brackins and company? "You guys chose ISU because you HAD to, I'm going to go where I will get the world".
I do wish the kid well, he deserves it all!!! I just don't get choosing any other school than the one he apparently LOVED. Doesn't mean he should've chose ISU, I just don't get it.

Aside from him hanging with the team, coaches, practicing with our players, at our facilities, etc, etc......
yeah.....
Harrison Barnes = Gene Chizik
That's very possible, but at 17 could you turn down the very good chance at winning a NC for a very good chance of finishing in the bottom half of the Big 12? I would suspect that if he doesn't win a NC at UNC then atleast part of him will regret not coming to ISU. But a National Championship is a big draw.
