Adam is admired for being a gracious loser. Adam has always been supportive of Kris. Fans on the other hand are upset not because Adam lost but because of how he lost. The university Kris attended, the University of Central Arkansas filled a stadium with power texters voting thousands of times each with the help of free phones and borrowed phones provided by a rogue AT&T executive.
