Nobody can deny college football fans' passion.
Sometimes this manifests itself in grown men wearing facepaint and carrying dolls of themselves to nationally televised games. Other times, it involves two grown men wanting to drive three hours to fistfight a stranger who talked trash about them on the internet.
Week 2 of college football's 2015 season isn't even here yet, and it appears we already have the latter scenario on our hands.
It started with Joe Kinsey of BustedCoverage.com searching Twitter hashtags during halftime of the Virginia Tech-Ohio State game for Ohio State fans donning an Ezekiel Elliott-like crop top. The point was to illustrate Kinsey's belief that Urban Meyer needed to feed the Zeke.
It led to this tweet:

As Kinsey tells it, this led to SEC fans attacking this guy's physique. Word got back to RMFP80 about the source of the abuse, and needless to say he wasn't happy about it.
(Trigger warning: Football language, ahoy!)

Consider the gauntlet laid down.
But lo! A Tennessee fan answered the bell, and apparently these two champions are about to settle the score in... Chattanooga, Tennessee!
Jobby the Tennessee fan has since countered with a 3 p.m. ET offer. Both these guys seem dead-set on fighting a stranger off the internet, so we'll see what transpires. Until then, RMFP80 has words of advice:
Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them forgood or ill pic.twitter.com/sxynhHbXgP
