College newspapers beef on Twitter, but none serve it better than The Daily Texan.

On Monday, last semester’s associate managing editor Forrest Milburn tweeted:

Prompting The Daily Californian, student newspaper at the University of California, Berkeley, to quote tweet:

Good to see @thedailytexan doing what it does best — making listicles in the name of journalism https://t.co/i8A8lGz0LB

— The Daily Californian (@dailycal) June 26, 2018

So, we at the Texan decided to make a listicle about the listicle insult.

The Daily Californian and The Daily Texan have a history of back and forth Twitter exchanges, mostly stemming from a November 2017 Twitter exchange with Stanford University’s student newspaper.

But back to Monday’s beef.

North Texas Daily, student newspaper at the University of North Texas, decided to stick its nose where it didn’t belong.

The Daily Texan slapped with a slight on UNT’s jazz ensemble band.

can we borrow the one o'clock lab band sometime we need some background music in the office

North Texas Daily tried their best to reply.

Only if we can borrow Bevo, since we’re apparently being brought into this lackluster beef…

— North Texas Daily (@ntdaily) June 26, 2018

But the Texan took ‘em down.

speaking of denton and lackluster

Then The Triton at University of California, San Diego chimed in.

A few of the Texan’s department accounts got involved.

Monday’s publishing night Twitter beef riled the basement office up. However, Peter Chen, the Texan’s media adviser, was less amused.
