Cincinnati trolls MSU with Valentine’s Day tweet

The Bearcats threw a little shade at the Wolverines in-state rival for Valentine’s Day.

We’ve already seen a recent college football signee throw some shade at Michigan State, but more are getting in on the fun.

As the Spartans made their search for a new head coach, they also had to endure their fair share of rejection. It started with ISU’s Matt Campbell withdrawing from the search, Pitt’s Pat Narduzzi tweeting a video utilizing a clip from the movie Wolf of Wall Street to indicate he wasn’t leaving, and eventual hire of Mel Tucker saying he wasn’t going to leave Colorado — which he eventually did after MSU upped its offer in a big way.

But Michigan State’s primary target, which was well known, was Cincinnati’s Luke Fickell.

The Spartans brass flew down to Cincy last Sunday to meet with Fickell, but he ultimately chose to stay with the Bearcats. Once that was known, MSU trustee Brian Mosallam went on 97.1 FM The Ticket in Detroit and said that his football program didn’t want ‘a waffling flake’ to lead the team at the head coaching position.

So Cincinnati, via Twitter, decided to have a little bit of fun with that, tweeting out some Valentine’s Day cards which included something of a troll thrown the Spartans way.

The Fickell valentine stating ‘I would never flake on you!!’ would have been a little more of a subversive troll had the Bearcats tweet not flat out indicated in the poem ‘throwing a little shade too.’

Regardless, inject the constant shade at MSU into our veins, especially as the program seems to have made new enemies out of both Cincinnati as well as Colorado.
