MSU fans calling for boycott of Outback restaurants
This is just too good not to post.
Just sent a complaint to @outbackbowl and @Outback that I will never eat at an Outback again. The food is worse every year and they showed they are want branding lies over quality. I encourage @MSU_Football and Spartans to #boycottoutback. East Lansing Outback should be empty.

Michigan did not beat a team with a winning record. I am a Michigan resident who will not only not watch the game but I will not eat at the restaurant. #boycottoutback

@outbackbowl Way to select an undeserving team in #UofM who

1. Is UNRANKED 2. Has a worse record than #MSU 3. Was beaten by MSU.
It’s a great reminder you only care about $$ and a reminder I will never step foot in an Outback. Hope your game day ratings tank. #boycottOutback
MSU is ranked 16 and U of M isn’t even ranked. And MSU neat UM - so what’s your point?? #BoycottOutback

Good job picking two unranked teams for your bowl game #outbackbowl #scUM #BoycottOutback

#BoycottOutback. Outback, i won't be back

Bring back merit-based bowl game selection. And also #BoycottOutback

#FootballinParadise can go f@#k itself. Total fraud taking a team that has not beat a ranked team or a team with a winning record. #boycottoutback @outbackbowl

The @bigten is a joke...Delany's driven this conference into mediocrity. Doesn't matter how you play...what's next, playing the BIG basketball tourney a week early just to get into NYC? Oh yeah, they've already done that #smh - #BoycottOutback

#FootballinParadise I will not watch the game. I will never eat in an Outback restaurant. The food is garbage and outback showed it is all about flash over quality. The steaks are shoe leather. #boycottoutback

But the Dali museum in St. Petersburg is pretty cool.

God theyre petty

Washington St. with the mad pirate at the helm is a more interesting matchup anyhow, and MSU will get more mileage out of beating the Cougars than we will if we beat the Cocks.

It is truly incredible that a fanbase can be so constantly obsessed with a team other than their own. Sparty could be going to the playoff and they would still be more concerned about where Michigan was going.

Ballsy move for a bowl with a financial sponsor to turn down Northwestern alums for MSU alums

People here need to lighten up. This is hilarious. Spartan fans getting worked up over a non-NY6, non-playoff game selection in TAMPA of all places (I live here, I should know). And combining this with a boycott of the asstastic Outback Restaurants. I mean, cmon!

How they were going against one of the top qbs in the country. How turnovers had nothing to do with the outcome and just what a thorough display of offense at its finest they displayed during the second half of that game, not just sending a msg to UM but to the entire cfb word that MsU is one of the premier teams in the country and should probably have been afforded the conference championship right then and there. Whoa. Then they played the rest of the season and didn't do all that much better than UM and they should take what the hell they get, like it and remember they're still fucking MSU.

And I think I speak for many when I say that Michigan fans (judging from the comments on this board) would have preferred to play Stanford in the Holiday Bowl to the Outback Bowl.
It's a pity we can't ring up MSU and say, "trade ya?"
December 4th, 2017 at 8:37 AM ^
I shared this with a couple MSU friends lat night, and they've not spoken to me since:
Oompa loompa doompa di doo
I've got another puzzle for you
Oompa loompa doompa da di
If you are wise, you'll listen to me
What do you get as an MSU fan?
A perceived lower bowl than that Michigan can
Why don't you try simply being yourself?
Only then will you be top shelf
Oompa loompa doompa di da
If you're not butthurt, you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the oompa loompa doompa di doo

If enough of them were willing to get off their unburned couches, buy a plane ticket, spend a few dollars, and actually attend a bowl game, the Outback might have picked them.
December 4th, 2017 at 12:07 PM ^
Tough to scrounge up airfare to Tampa on a delivery person's salary....
December 4th, 2017 at 9:24 AM ^
like virtually all angry boycotts, this one will amount to nothing. Sleep well Outback.
December 4th, 2017 at 9:41 AM ^
Let's see if sales suffer. There are actually more Michigan fans in Lansing than one might think so I think it will do just fine
December 4th, 2017 at 9:49 AM ^
Spartan faithful are going to boycott Outback? However will Outback be able to make up that $60-70 in lost revenue?
LOLSparty
December 4th, 2017 at 9:54 AM ^
So, they don't like Aussie restaurants now......how about Aussie punters???
Put another shrimp on the bartbie and have yourself another Bloomin' Onion.......
The restaurant chain is just the sponsor.....call Delaney for selection details.
December 4th, 2017 at 10:04 AM ^
Sparty is ridiculous, but they are right about the quality of Outback's food, once upon a time it was a surprisingly good steakhouse.
December 4th, 2017 at 12:00 PM ^
a bloomin onion and an ice cold Fosters.

Outback must really be regretting this move. They're going to have to have a pretty deep discount on their kids meals to recapture all the lost diners from this massive boycott. LOL only Staee fans can come up with something this f'ing stupid.
