Anyone else wish they weren't born a Cyclone

[Bubbahotep]

I suppose if the cyclones were good all the time, my life would be too perfect

[JJ4ISU]

I love the Clones and have two degrees. I am also a Bengals fan. Getting kicked in the junk is kind of a lifestyle for me. I am getting philosophical about it all. There are so many true tragedies in the world that it kind of puts sports in perspective.

URBCLONE- the bigger question is why we both chose the Bengals!!!

[CyDude16]

I'll be a CYCLONE till I die, and if i die by the time i'm 30 because of all the ups and downs, so be it.

[OC Cyclone]

I grew up in Southern California and moved to Iowa to go to ISU...hard not to be a die hard cyclone fan after being there 4 years, and tonight really sucks, but I think this is kinda the fun in being a Cyclone fan...never know what's gonna happen next

Been following them since '75. Way too late for me to walk away now. Dang, I didn't think there were any others in Central Iowa. Good to know that you are part of the club!

It means more when the Cyclones are good this way. After all the crazy **** that has happened to us we deserve some good times, just have faith they'll be here.

[skelly]

Like many -- how many are really born a Cyclone? I would guess a large number are like me. You grew up a Hawkeye but converted when you attended ISU.

(

I was born one, and I'll die one. Two other people in my class of 40 were Cyclones.

[Clone5]

At least we will always have Hilton Magic, Jack Trice Tailgaiting, and other great cyclone traditions that no matter how bad our teams are won't go away.

[alaskaguy]

I wasn't born a cyclone but became a fan while I was an ISU student. I'm actually an alumni of both Iowa State and Oregon State but follow Cyclone sports far more than I do the Beavers.

I really wonder at times why I devote so much attention to ISU when the Beavers have accomplished so much more.

You should have been at Drake Stadium last May when a cyclone won the NCAA 10k and nearly lapped the entire field. The whole state was cheering for the clone.

[ISUKyro]

At least we will always have Hilton Magic,

Sorry, you lost me here. I know I haven't been there in over 3 years, but I've seen plenty on TV to know that Hilton Magic is LONG gone.

[SeattleClone]

I was not born a Cyclone fan, I was born a Hawkeye fan. Actually, I wasn't really a sports fan growing up, so that had no bearing on my choice of school. I wanted an engineering school, so I went to ISU (I'm not even going to mention another out-of-state school I looked into). Fortunately in '98-'02, we were relatively good in football and basketball, so it was easy to become a fan. I also helped convert my family. Don't accuse me of being a bandwagon fan though, I would rather eat **** than be a hawk or h*****. I am a Cyclone for life, no matter how much days like today suck.

Sorry, you lost me here. I know I haven't been there in over 3 years, but I've seen plenty on TV to know that Hilton Magic is LONG gone.

Hate to sound lame but there is nothing like watching a game in Hilton and I know others can feel that same tradition.

[Cyclonepride]

Nope. Not at all. I wouldn't trade my team for any other. Now, off to the cave with me

[dunar]

I'm so sick that I'd probably suck it up and donate more if JP sent the form-email-requst right now... I will always be a Cyclone! That or dead, which ever comes first!

Now it's been a few days since I've had that "kicked in the crotch" feeling, was beginning to almost miss it...
