Michigan Sate fans are still mad that Nick Saban left MSU for LSU… sixteen years ago.
ICYMI: Auburn are not happy about having to go to the Birmingham bowl.
I guess you can add Michigan State fans to the list of spurned ex Nick Saban lovers with LSU and Miami Dolphins fans. Nick Saban left Michigan State 16 years ago for LSU and apparently many Spartans are still holding on to this “betrayal”.
Look I get being upset about a coach leaving, I was mad about Dennis Franchoine leaving Alabama for at least two weeks, but holding on to it for sixteen years is beyond stupid anger, that’s an unhealthy obsession.
This obsession is also tinted with a heavy helping of little brother syndrome. Michigan State fans think Nick Saban left to get away from Michigan and stop being second fiddle. (Everyone reliable says it’s because LSU was just a better job and he couldn’t get a long with the Michigan State president, but that’s not the point.) Michigan State fans not only want to show Nick Saban that they are wonderful and he made a mistake, but prove to him that they are better than Michigan… oh good lord these nuts are the B1G’s Auburn fans aren’t they?
Here is just a taste of the crazy that’s blowing down from almost Canada:
Show us on the doll where Nick Saban hurt you.
Best part of Bama-MSU? When he left MSU, Saban said MSU always would play second fiddle to Michigan. Dantono has made Saban eat his words.

All Nick Saban has done is win 4 national titles, while Dantonio won a Rose Bowl one time, obviously that’s advantage Dantonio.
Saban left MSU saying they could never win a championship with UM in the same state. #Spartans

And they still haven’t won a championship so…
He screwed them taking a better job, but all MSU fans are glad he’s gone because they are better without him BECAUSE LOGIC!
Saban left MSU because he was convinced it was impossible to compete nationally at MSU. And now an opportunity to shove his face in that.

I wonder if he said this before the 49-7 beatdown MSU received from Alabama in the Capitol One Bowl too.
Saban left MSU cause he wanted to play for 'Ships. Dump a whole bag of Doritos on your shoulder.

Doritos go in your mouth, but yeah he has played for a lot of ‘ships since leaving your school.
Saban bailed on @MSU_Football because he hated being #2 to UM in-state. @DantonioMark instead made #Sparty #1 https://t.co/Zqm6VCZrum

Sparty is certainly the better team this year, but do you really want to bet on that lasting? Come on.
@MSUHumor No, just Saban is scared. He brought Dantonio to MSU in the first place!
— Jacob Young (@JacobYoungEP) December 7, 2015
OR it could be that playing in Michigan doesn’t help Alabama recruit but games in Atlanta and Dallas the first of every year do… naw, it’s totally the scared thing.
Fun Fact: Alabama did not want to play MSU the next 2 years during the season when proposed to them by Dantonio. They are scared of us!

Well the athletic directors do this, not the coaches, but besides that… Alabama scheduled USC and Florida State. Maybe we just thought those were better games?
See the story keeps changing, did he leave for championships or a nebulous “elite” that’s easier for your fanbase to explain?
I want a pony.
@DanWolken Because Saban was too worried about chasing his next job while he was at MSU
— Dale (@Dcary31) December 6, 2015
HOW DARE SOMEONE TAKE A BETTER JOB, THAT JERK!
But really MSU needs to win because I can't handle seeing the satisfaction from Nick Saban.
— Aariann Felix (@aari_f) December 6, 2015
Learn to handle it.
We really gotta beat Bama bruh like Saban did MSU so dirty so we gotta bust him
— EST DEEGEE (@Wavyy91) December 6, 2015
Bruh.
I want MSU to make Saban cry. So bad.
— Azamat Bogatov (@YikesManWtf) December 6, 2015
The Saban is not programed to cry.
@davebirkett Alabama. Kick Saban's ass and show him MSU is a damn good job!
— KG (@Gooch30) December 6, 2015
These people are like an ex that is constantly texting you to try to show you that you made a mistake, get a life.
What about his face if they don’t lose? Are you excited about that too?
Saban always wanted MSU. Of course until the grass was... greener... and then he chased $$ from Baton Rouge to Miami to Tuscaloosa

Once you take a job you should stay there for life no matter what? I’d still be working at a video store in Mississippi for $5.00 an hour.
I know MSU will beat Bama. Bama most overrated team in country. Saban gonna be mad after this is over. #CFBPlayoff

You seem mad already though.
@Lady_Fi and you know I have jealousy/hate for Saban lolol he should've been at MSU accomplishing what he has..but we'll fix that!
— BIG DEZ (@BIGDEZ) December 6, 2015
At least you can admit that you have a problem, that’s the first step.
I have one small piece of advice for you Michigan State fans…
Roll Tide y’all, I hope these fools never stop.
