However, there’s a reason why they play the games, and the maize and blue found a way to win, 24-17.

Of course, given the heated nature of the rivalry, and how much Michigan State fans were smelling blood not only before the game, but well into it, the reactions on X (formerly Twitter) went hard for the maize and blue faithful.
