Show Caption Hide Caption Michigan, Michigan State players in pregame confrontation Michigan players, including Devin Bush (in yellow), refused to move as MSU went through its pregame walk, and a confrontation ensued, Oct. 20, 2018.

Michigan football picked up a big win with a 21-7 win over Michigan State on Saturday. The win ended Michigan's skid of losing to ranked teams on the road and gave Jim Harbaugh his second win against the Spartans.

No one was more fired up after the game than Michigan's Chase Winovich, who didn't hold back his feelings.

"We knew they couldn't hang with us... Sometimes your little brother starts acting up, and you just gotta put them in place."

Yup. He played the little brother card.

And if you think Winovich would have regret about what he said after some time to settle down...

Well then you don't know Chase Winovich.

I’d like to take this moment to apologize... FOR ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Go Blue! — Chase Winovich (@Chase_Winovich) October 20, 2018

Other fans were excited, but maybe not as much as Winovich.

But many Spartan fans were upset and took their anger out on Twitter because... rivalry.

It pains me to say this, but Michigan is just simply a better team. With that being said, it still doesn’t make me feel any better about losing to these clowns. — Jon Simon (@jsimon_21) October 20, 2018

Even when you aren’t expected to win, it’s never fun losing to scUM. Dave Warner has to go. I get there are a million injuries, but the offense can’t look like that. No excuses, Michigan was easily the better team this year. — Brian Kochheiser (@BKochheiser) October 20, 2018

I’m very happy for u of m fans if they think they’re “back” after this W. One of the worst games I’ve ever seen a Michigan state offense put together. Our Defense was spectacular — Barry (@BarryHoova) October 20, 2018

This game is over pretty much. Gg Michigan y’all finally did it — LGM (@Jaredengel3) October 20, 2018

And Wolverine fans, for at least for on year, have the upper hand on the taunting front.

Michigan State can kiss my maize and blue ass, the big brother is back on top. Go blue — haha xD (@thenoseisbig) October 20, 2018

shoutout to michigan state for briefly sneaking into the top 25 so we can put that stupid stat to bed lol — thierry ennui (@bauncechill) October 20, 2018

Thank god it’s Michigan in the drivers seat and not LJ Scott — PC 〽️att (@mattcatoni) October 20, 2018

And, when all else fails, go to the old "basketball season" smack talk.

Also msu basketball is curb stomping tf outta Michigan this season. That's all bye. — #SMOEDAF 🎃👻 (@Justinisbae_94) October 20, 2018
