We Are the Champions: Big Ten/ACC Challenge Twitter Deep Dive

If you contain it correctly, Twitter can be a wonderful tool for debate, conversation and oftentimes sarcastic comedy. But jump into a TweetDeck, search a sporting events official #hashtag and you dive into a rabbit hole without a ladder back up. It's quite the fickle beast.

On Wednesday night, after Peter Jok lit up Florida State -- locking up the 8-6 win over that eastern coastal conference -- I saw this tweet come across my screen:

It seems like @espn loves the Big Ten/ACC challenge each year up until the point when the Big Ten clinches the win #bigtenaccchallenge

— Tim Holl (@HollNotHall) December 3, 2015

So while I vehemently shook my head, I decided to type "Big Ten/ACC Challenge" into the Twitter search bar to see what other gems I could find -- and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. ACC melt downs, national Big Ten hate, Bucky fans rooting for Jarrod Uthoff and one timely pop culture reference... it's all there.

Here are the best of the best responses from another wonderful challenge win -- with a little commentary:

#HATE

#Hawkeyes trailing FSU 17-8 in Big Ten/ACC Challenge. It's youth vs experience, and youth is winning.

Not so fast...

/shoving my pencil in your face

Regardless of this challenge ACC > Big Ten

Gottttt heeeeem.

Has the Big Ten ever won the Big Ten/ACC Challenge?

— Ben Gaines (@benjamingaines) December 3, 2015

Keep up, Ben.

I just can't wrap my head around why the ACC just simply can't win the ACC/Big Ten Challenge...........ever

— Tim Livingood (@TKLivingood22) December 3, 2015

It's been eight years friend, it shouldn't be this difficult. I know the overwhelming hatred the nation has for the Big Ten is overwhelming outside of the heartland, but come on now. You act like we're the Pac 12.

The #ACC hasn't won the ACC/Big Ten challenge outright since Bush left the White House. #ThanksObama

— Ben (@BennyEastSide) December 3, 2015

When in doubt, blame Obama.

Yo, ESPN, let us live

Don't look for a headline on ESPN that the "underdog" B1G won the Big Ten/ACC Challenge again this year. You won't find it.

— Tommy Brennan (@TommyBrennan70) December 3, 2015

Flash to Jay Williams and Seth Greenberg yelling about how Duke would beat every team in the Big Ten right now, so the challenge is really just a stupid gimmick.

@SportsCenter in other news the Big Ten wins another Big Ten/ACC Challenge. But who cares right

— Houston Kruse (@houstonkruse) December 3, 2015

Right.

Hoo, Hoo, Hoo-boy

Meanwhile, let's check in on Indiana ... pic.twitter.com/ryPYWnQPgW

Instead of #Pacquiaoing should it be #CREANING?

IU is simply the worst representation of Big Ten basketball right now and it's sad.

— Sudhin Krishnan (@soodz1985) December 3, 2015

It really is... that offense... the talent...Yogi... boy was I wrong about these guys.

UNC held it down in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge though We want the best, not Indiana

— OGSidBrown (@DaV3TSBrown) December 3, 2015

Woah, shots fired.

What we learned this week: — IU’s broken — The ACC’s not the best league — Games on campus are AWESOME And more: https://t.co/fsGXEMMJzJ

MAKE IT STOP!

Basically @BadgerMBB just put the Big Ten on its back and took home the Big Ten-ACC Challenge.

— Spencer Hamilton (@SDHamilton6) December 3, 2015

Basically.

BIG TEN/ACC CHALLENGE LOSS WAS 1) SYRACUSE'S FAULT 2) A RESULT OF THE B1G WINNING ALL THE SCRAP GAMES 3) SYRACUSE'S FAULT

— PITT BSKTBL SHOUTING (@N_THEYSTAYTHERE) December 3, 2015

So much bitter.

Only the Big Ten/ACC Challenge can get me to pull for Uthoff to make clutch free throws. #Badgers

— Scott Tappa (@scotttappa) December 3, 2015

Best of the night

Big Ten/ACC Challenge and chill

Winner, winner chicken dinner.
