Social media reactions to Michigan football win over MSU
Michigan football, despite everything happening off the field, simply stormed away with the win, unbothered by anything else. Even better? It happened in a rivalry game.
Given it was rivalry week, X, formerly Twitter, was bursting with photos and reactions. MSU writers expressed their disappointment, while U-M media focused on flexing their muscles.
J.J. McCarthy was on fire, the defense pitched a shutout, and Michigan’s tight ends had a terrific night. The team celebrated the win on-field with a Paul Bunyan parade.
Of course, Michigan boasts the best fan base in the world. Check out some of the best X reactions to the prime-time matchup!

After the game, UM's JJ McCarthy ran over to MSU's Jordan Hall & gave him a hug. Those were the only 2 players I saw engage after the game. I spent some time in the stands as the game was winding down. Also, outside the stadium after the game. MSU/UM fans were all getting along. pic.twitter.com/TzHRbqdFUi

Michigan extends the lead to 28-0 with 2:54 left in the second quarter. A steady stream of MSU students are leaving their seats after that one.

Oliver jar theory very much playing out for Colston Loveland, who's scored a touchdown in three straight games.

McBurrows with the INT… The final, and fitting, twist of the knife.

Braiden McGregor might be the greatest bat-down passer of all time.

Michigan LB Junior Colson: After Mike Sainristil's pick-six, you could see the light going out of Michigan State players' eyes.
"That's when the game starts becoming fun."

One Sparty ejected for spearing.
Another tackles Corum way out of bounds, the second of two personal foul penalties on the same play.
And Michigan was the one supposedly putting people in danger tonight on the field?
I’m chagrined.

Talk all you want about how easy Michigan’s schedule is…
Winning is hard. Ask North Carolina tonight. Ask Oklahoma earlier today.
Michigan isn’t just winning, they’re burying people. If you can’t acknowledge that this is a damn good football team, that’s on you.

Michigan state was really trying to drive it home by having their QB run to the sideline for calls like that shit meant something 🤦🏾♂️ #Goblue

If MSU fans want to say Michigan punching in that last TD was classless, I can’t really disagree.
But I don’t really care either. I’ve embraced the villain role for Michigan.
