One college paper tried to pick a Twitter fight with another college paper. It was nerdy in the most journalism kind of way.

On Wednesday, two California journalism schools offered a nice break from another breathless week in the news.

It wasn't through great storytelling, though, or flashy graphics.

They did it with a good old Twitter fight.

Technically, The Stanford Daily started it with some shade ahead of a big annual game between the two (the winner gets an actual axe.)

But The Daily Californian, the student newspaper at the University of California, Berkeley, was ready.

Hi @StanfordDaily, a little premature don't you think? — The Daily Californian (@dailycal) November 15, 2017

A back and forth followed that will only make sense if you follow both those teams, but then it looks like The Daily Californian had enough.

100 LIKES AND WE WILL PICK A FIGHT WITH THE @StanfordDaily — The Daily Californian (@dailycal) November 16, 2017

Fun fact: These two newspapers literally play against each other in flag football.

Yes! The two papers play a *very* competitive game of flag football called the Ink Bowl — and the axe is, of course, an exacto knife. — Alexandra Yoon-Hendricks (@ayoonhendricks) November 16, 2017

The Berkeley newsroom took a few shots at the Stanford newsroom. But this one is possibly the best.

That's what we'd like to know because your website literally looks like a blog template from 2008 pic.twitter.com/y57kbJod4G — The Daily Californian (@dailycal) November 16, 2017

No, this is no Wendy's vs. Wingstop Twitter rap battle. It's also not BuzzFeed and The Daily Caller vs. CNN Twitter fruit video one-ups. But when your Tweetdeck is flooded with a very odd moment at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, threats against local media and more, it's nice to take a break for some nerdy journalism shenanigans.
