I don't need to question Adam's "Cyclone card" any more because he's NOT a Cyclone. The traitor jumped off our sinking ship and left to help our arch-rival earn a 3-seed in the tournament, not something I'm going to pat him on the back for and say, "No big deal." As an ISU fan I think he could understand our anger in that if he had hung around we could have had some better years recently. (I know, I know, maybe we don't get GMac if he's still around...)

We don't know the whole circumstances regarding Adam's transfer - I've heard some things regarding the program and team at the time that would make it understandable for him to transfer. No hard feelings. Is AT a traitor? Is Stacy Frese a traitor? No, they just found a better situation for themselves and I can't blame them for it.

I would have taken Adam's "Cyclone Card" too. (I like that term.)

AT is a cyclone because he chose to be. Adam lost his "cyclone card" because he chose to give it up. He can still be a fan, and root on his brother, but to me he's no longer a cyclone. If you'd ask any hawkeye fan, I'm sure they'd tell you that AT is no longer a Hawkeye, and that's fine with me.

During his stint at Iowa, she was on tv about as much as he was.

I have no ill will towards Adam at all (I may have left as well) but he's not a card carrying Cyclone.

This is how I feel too. To me it wasn't that he left or where he went, it was how he went about leaving...

Some people just don't like a certain college and don't figure it out until after they attend classes. Look at Vette, he didn't know he was going to be homesick until after he left home. If he plays for someone who plays against ISU in the future (maybe UNI), I hold no ill will towards him. ISU just wasn't the place for Vette, but Adam based his choice on other "outside" factors....

Adam was sitting right behind me with his family (who are all VERY nice people) and I couldn't believe that someone in CA was yelling "Adam Haluska you suck!" to him a couple of times. We all just laughed it off and I told him not all Cyclones feel that way. Adam chose to leave for many reasons that you can't blame him for. Everything that was going on with the basketball program, I might have wanted to leave too. Some people don't realize that this is these guys' lives they're dealing with. It's not just a game or just about if they're a Cyclone or a Hawk. He made the best decision for himself, and you can't knock him for that. His brother now plays here and he came to support him. I think we as Cyclone fans need to be classy enough to treat Adam and his family with respect when they come to games. You don't have to like him, but you don't have to bash on him. Just my opinion.

I noticed when Sean hit that last 3, Adam was on his feet cheering.

**Splendid** · 02-17-2008, 05:02 PM

Cyfan13, if like you say there was only one dirtbag shouting insults at Adam then I say good for us. With the 14000 electrically charged fans we get at Hilton having only 1 spew insults is refreshing. My gosh, can you imagine AT going back to a sold out Carver and only having to deal with one meathead? I can't either. Feel proud ISU fans, you have class.

That is true, but there were more than one. That was just the one that really stood out because he was yelling it very loudly and we sit right next to CA. For the most part, ISU fans are great, but there are quite a few that still hold a lot of anymosity toward Adam, and I just think it's uncalled for. There will always be those few that are like that, and those are the ones I was talking to.

**Splendid** · 02-17-2008, 05:17 PM

Yeah I was afraid it would be more than one, that's unfortunate. I hope it made those shouting the insults feel superior because to the rest of us you look childish.
