This college football season has not just one, but two odd examples of fans sharing mutual passion for a school team, but weirdly becoming their own worst enemies in the stands during games. 

Here's a third to add to that list. The #21-ranked Wisconsin Badgers are facing off at home against #20-ranked Northwestern Wildcats at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison. The Badgers were losing 10-0 going into halftime, and their offensive schemes played out to be disastrous. So to vent their frustrations, the sea of red shirts in the stands began hurling snowballs at each other.

Wisconsin's student section is apparently bored enough by the game that there's a snowball fight breaking out over there. #Entertainment

Then the next target for the snowball-chucking Badger faithful were their own team's cheerleaders.

Holy smokes. Students look like they're now aiming all their snowballs at the UW cheerleaders behind the end zone. What's wrong with people?

As if it's their fault? Check the short clip of the incident here:

Then of course, the campus police and the school's administration got involved to diffuse the situation.

C'mon students - we'd rather you not throw snowballs. But please do NOT throw at the field. If you're caught, you will be cited and ejected.

Save the snowballs for Bascom Hill. Anyone caught throwing snow on the field will be cited and ejected by @UWMadisonPolice

As for the combo of snowballs as weapons and insensitive fans with literally no sense of chill, this redefines the phrase "epic meltdown."
