Ames High will slip back into obscurity once HB is gone. No more strangers coming to high school basketball games.
Are you doing the best for your high school?

University location or not, if people didn't like it there, they wouldn't live there. If you didn't like it up in the cities, you probably would live elsewhere, correct?
Yes, the Ames community benefits from having the University, but there are plenty of people not remotely associated with Iowa State who choose to make Ames their home.
Sour grapes.
You really are a very poor example of what most people would want ISU fans to be though.

I love ISU but never could really stand the Ames locals. Also, the City of Ames treats ISU students like absolute crap, but loves all that extra money they get to play with for hardly any services offered.
I also love being reminded of why I couldn't stand most Ames students.

Sour grapes? Because you had a good basketball team for a few years? Seriously, you need to get out of Ames and leave your high school fantasy behind.
Anyone who can blindly support Barnes in this whole deal is a disgrace as well.
as a local and a student I have been on both sides. Neither are perfect.
I am curious about the services comment tho.
Dude. This conversation is over. If you don't get it by now, you never will. Decision - cool. Conduct today and in the past - not cool.
Someone who isn't from Ames wouldn't understand. That's apparently most of the problem, out of towners who stop by to go to ISU and don't care about Ames. But yes, this was an Ames High event. I'd love to hear how you think it was an ISU event though.
But there are plenty of people who DO. Just because you live in the cultural mecca that is Minneapolis and think of Ames as a little pissant Iowa town doesn't mean everyone else has to prescribe to your viewpoint. Just because someone has a different opinion than yours doesn't make them wrong.
Unless it's different than mine. Then you're all wrong. So there. Neener.
Ames will still have a good team this year and probably not lose a game. I dont blindly support HB here, I was mad as hell when he announced UNC. I just dont see what good it does to be ****** at him.
I also hope UNC loses every game from now until the end of time.
I'm going to be real honest, hearing the type of posts saying people are going to root against Harrison and/or that he used us, makes me ashamed to be associated with a group of Cyclones who would think like that. I understand you are upset. I wish he was a Cyclone right now too. Do I totally agree that he shouldn't have invited the whole city, yes I do. But I think they saw this as a chance for the community to rally around a kid's chance to play big time college basketball.
But the overall message is that Harrison Barnes made the decision that he thought was best for himself. Could he have won a national championship at Iowa State? Yes, he could have. Does he have a lot better shot to win one at North Carolina? Yes, no doubt. Do I believe he led us on? It is what you make of it. Did it give us Cyclone fans hope? Yes. Do I think it was false hope? No, not necessarily. I think it has been said that we had a lot better chance than some people wanted to give us. So lets move on with our lives but don't hate on a kid because he chose another school and because he supposedly made you believe he was going to choose ISU. You made the choice to believe that, he didn't make that choice for you.
So, Go Cyclones! We seem to have a hell of a team to rally around, so lets get excited ....
