ANN ARBOR - Fans, players and alumni from around the country sounded off online during the Spartans 14-10 win over the rival Wolverines. In this new weekly feature, LSJ rounds up the ebbs, flows and emotions of the Michigan State fan base.

Here are some rants and raves from Saturday night:

Michigan State fans celebrate a Spartan touchdown during the second quarter on Saturday, Oct. 7, 2017, at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor.

First quarter

Michael Mucci (Facebook): Spartans need to get up early, with that weather coming could get nasty quick.

Ian McHale (Facebook): The best part about being bad last year was that I didn't have mini panic attacks before each game.

SpartyHardy (Red Cedar Message Board): (Jalen Watts-Jackson) out there...no doubt as a reminder....just in case they've tried to forget.

David Thuma (Facebook): Getting shredded early, need to settle down

Garrett Mahany (Facebook): At least we held them to a field goal could've been worse. Defense just needs to settle in

SpartanPride204 (Red Cedar Message Board): First drives are usually flukes but this is quite a solid opening drive for UM

Josh Locke (Facebook): I never thought UofM would run on us this easy

Kevin Flournoy (Facebook): UofM student section quiet now lol

@gkelser32 (Twitter): I am pleasantly shocked.. #GoGreen!

@plaxicoburress (Twitter): Y'all gone learn today! #gostate #gogreen

Kyle Lisk (Facebook):  Gotta love a QB who dives for the end zone

Joseph P. Chapp (Facebook): Lewwww is a beast

Daniel Potter (Facebook): Win or lose, I like what I'm seeing so far from this young team.

Second quarter

Jamarco Jenkins (Facebook): These Michigan fans I’m around were SO LOUD at the start of the game, I don't know what happened because they are super silent right now!

Kevin Flournoy (Facebook): Dave Warner we see (you) in that booth calling these fantastic plays

Ryan B. Okerström (Facebook): DAVE WARNER FOR PRESIDENT OF MSU! LOLOLOLOL

Max DeMara (Red Cedar Message Board) WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DID YOU DO WITH DAVE WARNER?

Michael Kelly (Facebook): Great protection so far against the "#1 defense"

Boozhoo (Red Cedar Message Board): 3 and out baby!!!! Just as I hoped. settled down, and start making plays. Our D >>>> Their O

Andrew Cousino (Facebook): Heck yes! Blood boiling with fanaticism!!! Keep it up- drive it home, fight team fight! V4MSU #notyourrivaldesmond #keepthinkingthatwellkeepwinning

Mike Stoutenburg (Facebook): (Madre) London saying I’m going to take this opportunity and run with it.

Caleb Fuhrwerk (Facebook): Never would have guessed the most negative comment I had this far into the game would be dropping a pass that was close to putting us up 21-3. Going much better than expected lol

Wayne Shih-Wei Hsieh (Facebook): Turn O’Korn into freaking tackling dummy like Devin Gardner

Geary Morrill (Facebook): I love it whenever an entitled fanbase looks shell shocked ...

Alex Maranville (Facebook): Best half of msu football I've watched in a while

Mike Stoutenburg (Facebook): Winning the rushing battle, the turnover battle and most importantly the scoreboard battle. Great first half, let’s get 30 more minutes of the same.

JacksonMikeSCM (Red Cedar Message Board): amazing start...anyone else more nervous now than when the game started??

Becket Jones (Facebook): Que people complaining about Warner calls. Because you should be insane aggressive on your own 2

Ross H. Yednock (Facebook): All I want for Christmas is a 8 minute, 98 yard TD drive right now.

Joe Hurth (Facebook): Since the dropped pass in the first half we have been terrible. That was a momentum change

Andrew Cousino (Facebook): Everybody panic!!! My goodness, we had pretty crappy field position and did anyone think they weren't going to score again? Hopefully our players keep better temperament then our fans. Stay low above the highs and stay up above the lows

Katy Urquhart (Facebook): The end is near....too good to be true

Fourth quarter

Kari Freeman (Facebook):  DEFENSE WINS GAMES

Chris Pomazanko (Facebook): I punched myself in the head and yelled targeting!

Mike Stoutenburg (Facebook): O’Korn, the gift that keeps on giving.

Jeff Holloway (Facebook): (Safety David) Dowell is our leading receiver

Mike Gonzales (Facebook): Defense is killing it tonight. Game ball goes to the entire D

Caleb Fuhrwerk (Facebook): Almost every turnover was in their territory though. No excuse for seven points off 5 turnovers

Chris Koz (Facebook): This game is being handed to us and we aren't taking it

Mike Stoutenburg (Facebook): 0 first downs in the second half. Weather aside Warner has gone into full turtle mode again and he needs to be tarred and feathered if it bites us in the hind parts.

Derek Palmer (Facebook): You guys talking about needing points. You need a first down to do that. Which we have yet to get this half.

Jake Cullinan (Facebook): New game plan. Take a knee. Take a knee. Take a knee. Punt.

Brandye Nicole (Facebook): I can’t take this. I need a drink.

Ross H. Yednock (Facebook): Whoa.... he has trouble with the snap... he picks it up... runs... and gets the first down!

Isaac Paul (Facebook): It's not over...I'm so nervous

Don W Snide (Facebook): I am scared of a punt reversal of 2 years ago!!! I don't want to have to punt again!

Theresa Morgan Marra (Facebook): Close my eyes and let me know when it is over.

Matt Hardesty (Facebook): I am having a heart attack

@qwetzel (Twitter): Today in Ann Arbor there was sun, wind, rain, a tornado warning, but no hail. #GoGreen

@glen_batten (Twitter): I can think of 3-9 reasons why that win is sooo sweet #V4MSU

@RyanSchuiling (Twitter): Heart-pounding finish, and it's in the books: one of the biggest upsets in the history of the rivalry, especially this millennium. #Spartans

@AdamRuffPhoto (Twitter): This loss to MSU could come back to bite Michigan in their quest for a 3rd straight 3rd place Big Ten East crown.
