It would be bad enough to post something like that if it were true. Why do our fans do this every offseason?
It's one of five reasons: 1) They aren't our fans but would like you to think they are. 2) They are stupid. 3) They have a raging case of Poor Ole State. 4) They are more fond of their internet cred than they are of MSU and want to be the first to break something. They keep throwing things against the wall in hopes that one day it will stick. Then they can go back and say I told you so. 5) They are part of the very small but vocal minority that wants Mullen gone. Keeping the rumors (even ones with no basis whatsoever) going is their way of trying to get rid of him.
