Michigan State fans wear antlers as the snow falls during the fourth quarter on Saturday, November 18, 2017, at Spartan Stadium in East Lansing.

EAST LANSING — Fans, players and alumni from around the country sounded off online during the Spartans' 17-7 senior day win over Maryland. In this weekly feature, the LSJ rounds up the ebbs, flows and emotions of the Michigan State fan base.

Here are some rants and raves from Saturday afternoon:

First quarter

@Ike58Reese (Twitter): GAME TIME!!! #BeatTheTerps #SeniorDay #V4MSU #GoGreen

Kevin Faber (Facebook): GUYS! It's Raining! We all know what that means!! Go Green!!

Joe Hurth (Facebook): Beat up Maryland! Get our mojo back.

Michael Corr (Facebook): Maryland, worst helmets in all of sports

Chris Palmatier (Facebook): Gaps so far are there, I think he breaks one this game.

Joe Hurth (Facebook): Keep the pedal to the floor. Play defense and I think we can run all over Maryland and get their defense playing tired today.

Mark Gonyea (Facebook): So far so good. Good mix of play calling. Let’s hope they keep it up.

Sean Vergowven (Facebook): Hey we have a rushing game again

Cam Lange (Facebook): Offense can be so frustrating to watch at times. And now a shank. Ugh

Kyle Lisk (Facebook): Jackson has been disappointing. He's just not there yet consistency-wise

Ross H. Yednock (Facebook): That was a very forgettable drive on downs 1-4. Let’s step up D and keep it that way (unforgettable) and not give the less obnoxious U of M any confidence.

Kyle Lisk (Facebook): LJ easily going for 250 at this rate

MORE MSU FOOTBALL:

Second quarter

Sean Leo (Facebook): I think BL may have 100 yards rushing today

Mike Edmisten (Facebook): Best bad weather team in the nation!!!! Go Green!

@Steve_Smith313 (Twitter): Wow that weather is insane

@RyanSchuiling (Twitter): Gerald Holmes, like a locomotive. Churning. Tough yards.

Cam Lange (Facebook): Geez oh petes man. Red zone woes..

@WorldofIsaac (Twitter): Game was all but over and then MSU fumbled for the 69th time this season.

Nate Arent (Facebook): How many times have we fumbled near the goal line this year?

Ryan B. Okerström (Facebook): Elite teams don't fumble at the one. This drives me crazy.

@sportz5176 (Twitter): I can't wait for the 2018 MSU linebacking core..

Jake Miller (Facebook): We're killing these guys!

Ryan B. Okerström (Facebook): This weather is garbage. I hope our OL has figured out how to block cuz we won't be throwing at all

Roger Dresden (Facebook): One more TD would take away their will I think....

Cam Lange (Facebook): 100 yard rusher for the first time in 4 weeks.

@BreslinBirds (Twitter): Would not be shocked if Lewerke doesn't complete another pass in this game.

@KyleTurk5 (Twitter): Players with sleeves have scored 100% of MSU's touchdowns in this game.

Josh Robinson (Facebook): Should be 28-0 another stalled drive.

Chris Koz (Facebook): This snow is making my screen look like I'm watching off of a rabbit ears antenna

Keith Tunstall (Facebook): But Gerald killed our offensive flow with that fumble

Michigan State head coach Mark Dantonio takes the field with the Spartans before the start of the game on Saturday, Nov. 18, 2017 against Maryland at Spartan Stadium in East Lansing.

Third Quarter

@DavidHarns (Twitter): Probably about 5,000 die hard fans here as MSU starts the second half with the ball, up 14-0.

@V4_msu (Twitter): Like the read option look...Not sure how you throw in this weather

Roger Dresden (Facebook): Everything is a struggle with us

@LSJGreenWhite (Twitter): Brian Lewerke is 1 of 12 passing for 8 yards this afternoon. The elements not allowing for much there.

@mlyons85 (Twitter): Shuffle pass to @mattsokol_ is exactly one more than Coach Perles EVER thought of calling for me! #Toss38/39

James Carter (Facebook): Lewerke needs 2 stop forcing the ball. Especially n these conditions

Mark Turner (Facebook): Mcmuffin with the flop

Chris Koz (Facebook): For a 17-0 game this is purely frustrating‏

@SGender (Twitter): Do NOT hurt McMuffin.

@JackEbling (Twitter): When is the last time an @MSU_Football QB averaged 16.5 yards per carry and 1.5 yards per pass attempt?

Fourth Quarter

William Bass Jr. (Facebook): Put Terry in now what do we have to lose

Jake Miller (Facebook): LJ gonna bust one

@Steve_Smith313 (Twitter): I need Tums every game,  maybe we can get Mercer on the schedule and win by 4 scores

Andrew Fuelling (Facebook): Three runs in a row? Just put this game away

Michael Corr (Facebook): Here comes prevent D

Kevin Faber (Facebook): Why is it so hard for state to close games offensively and defensively

Josh Robinson (Facebook): msu playing with no fire once again..not how you want to look on senior day.

Carl Snook (Facebook): Too many series where the goal isn't to score! Is this a Little League game? Does everyone get to play running back for a play?

Rick Latack (Facebook): Maryland is an awful team, should not be this close even with the weather. Just ridiculous.

David Thuma (Facebook): 2 for 14. How does a starting quarterback at a major D1 program do that?

Matthew Hansen (Facebook): I'm not saying that it's going to happen, but this the making of a come back for Maryland.

Dawn Warner (Facebook): Typical prevent defense. OMG I hate this

Larry Limonoff (Facebook): Boring game glad I didn’t go today

Joe Hurth (Facebook): Game over . Maryland deflated after that fg attempt

Ross H. Yednock (Facebook): Lousy weather. Uninspiring offense. Suspect officiating. Atrocious announcers. Kudos to Sokol our leading receiver, though. Great catch!
