Not that gasoline needs to be thrown on the fire.......but everyone here does realize that coach he will be playing for, the one with the **** eating grin was the same coach who just smiled and and shrugged a fews years back when asked about Drew Gooden slamming the ball at mid court, and flipping everyone at Hilton off after KU finally beat ISU? Ironic......isn't it?
Real sad Harrison

Come on man would you have Thanksgiving at your house and us that time to announce to everyone that your cheating on your wife. Some things need to be delivered properly. Today isn’t a good example of “good deliveryâ€
So if he would have eliminated ISU this week how many people do you think show up for his spectacle today? 100? Now how would that of looked on national television? He used the ISU fan base to promote himself today. His day will come.
Uh oh. Note to self: Scratch my planned Thanksgiving Day announcement. Wait until Christmas morning to tell her.
:wink:
You mean the man that HATES ISU like no other coach. Or the man that will do anything to get a recurit and go out of his way to stop another team from getting a star player.
Exactly. If he eliminates ISU, that gym is empty for the ESPN cameras. Can't have that.
Once again, ISU got used.
I haven't said anything about HB post-signing yet so here it goes.
I am disapointed he didn't come here. I am not mad that he didn't come here. What does make me mad is that it seems ISU was used to help him get into the #1 spot. He has been around college players for three years. He has grown to be a better bball player because of this. I don't know how real his intentions were to go here. There is no doubt we do not provide him the best chance to win. We do provide him a chance to become a legend. Maybe that does not matter to him. I think that today, in college ball, you have the chance to become just as good of player here as any "top-tier" program. I feel he could have gotten the same things here. He may not get a championship here, but who is to say he will get one there? What happens if he gets outplayed by some other studs they have recruited in recent years? That wouldn't happen here. I guess as far as winning, he made the right choice. As far as himself, I don't know that he did.
I also hated they way he did this. It feels to me like he tried to make Ames feel better by inviting them to join him in crushing us. You may say he is 17, he didn't know better. I don't know how he could do this. He knew it wasn't going to be ISU. Why invite the public in which ISU is located? What is the point? Was it to hype himself? Was it to make himself feel important? I will gaurentee that a vast majority of the people in attendance were not there to support him, but to celebrate him in the event he chose us. He did not. I just cannot fathom, at the age of 17, having the maturity he has shown, that he could do this to us. He knows that for the last several years we have been excited and in some cases obsessed with him being a Cyclone. Idon'tknow why he did this how he did, but I think it lacks class. I think it was sort of a cheap shot to people who showed up to the signing. I am not saying he is a bad kid. What I am saying is whoever set this up either didn't think about what they were doing, or didn't care. I don't know who was in charge. I know they didn't know who he was picking, but odds were it wasn't ISU. If it were and it was a private signing, then I doubt Cyclone Nation would have been less excited.
This is just my 2 cents.

Anyone saying HB used us is stupid. How should he have gone about it?
And the whole thing about the ISU shirt is irrelevant. You're going to tell me you thought he was going to ISU because he wore a SHIRT to school? He wore Duke the next day.

I will also say this. I don't care if he is a Cyclone fan. Not one bit. I have been a Cyclone fan my entire life. I was not put in the position, but if I had a choice to play football at Florida or ISU, I would have chosen ISU, no doubt in my mind. That's what a supporter of the University does. I am sure he will be in Hilton at some point and I don't think it will be a pleasant experience for him. I don't condone harrassing him, but I don't control everyone.
I would bet that before he got to be such a big deal, he wanted to be a Cyclone. I bet when he was in 8th or 9th grade he would have jumped at the chance to be a Clone. I think it comes down to bells and whistles. We don't have that here. What we do have was diluted on him since he has seen it so many times.
I wish the kid the best, but hif he gets to UNC and something doesn't work out, I do not welcome him here. He isn't a #1 recruit who was considering us and turned us down. He is a #1 recruit from the town ISU is locared in who seems to have used us to better his position and decided he was too good for us. To good for us now, fine. Don't think you can waltz back into town and just have a poistion on this team.

By not inviting public (most of which were ISU fans) and then throwing Roy's ugly mug up via skype.
That's a great analogy. Perfect... exactly what happened.
He also did it to a wife that had already been cheated on several times in the last year (Chizik, Cael).
Perhaps he could not invite the whole Ames community to his signing when he knew that basically the whole place was there in hopes he would sign with us. That's just one idea. Maybe he could have told us we were not in the running prior to the signing so people didn't show up in hope it was us.
1. He's the top recruit in the country. Obviously it's going to be made public. And it's not like he personally invited all Iowa State fans.
2. I don't see how calling Roy on Skype is bad at all. If Greg's face showed up you'd be completely fine with it.
Are you out of your mind? This is Ames. There ISU and not much else. #1 recruits don't walk around here all of the time. You would have to be completely ignorant of you situation to think that people wouldn't come to see you sign with ISU. If he really thought most of the people were there in support of him, maybe he isn't as bright as we thought.
I think you're the one being ignorant. You're bashing him for not going to the school you wanted him to go to. Boo hoo.
Also, if you think he purposely invited a bunch of Cyclone fans planning to let us down all long, then you're really stupid. It was open to the public...maybe because people actually support him and don't just care about themselves and what they want.
Believe it or not, there are actually people living in Ames who respect HB and support him. Those are the people Harrison and his family wanted there. They didn't want people coming that would just start hating him for not going to I State.
