I got over those last terrible years Jackie had and he will always be #1 to me (unless Jo takes me back to Atlanta and wins the SEC championship). Dan did some good things, but I will never get over how he used us and put Dan 1st. Always job searching after the bama game and not all-in in so many State/UNM games. Respect and love for Jackie. Time won't bring similar feelings toward Dan. Just me, but I still don't like the Journey song, but will help sing it again if we are stomping his Fl team at the end of the 3rd quarter this season! Hail State!
Jackie liked/loved MSU. He was trying. (But was fighting a bunch of AH's up north)

Dan was paid a lot of money to do/give his best-he didn't.

That is the difference in the character of the two.

Y'all can decide which type of character you prefer.
