- The Fresno State Bulldogs played the Northern Illinois Huskies on Monday.
ESPN made a hilarious mistake Monday by trashing the nickname of a college football team.
The Fresno State Bulldogs faced the Northern Illinois Huskies in the Idaho Potato Bowl, and the game was broadcast on Worldwide Leader.
But unfortunately for Fresno State, the ESPN graphics repeatedly referred to them as the 'Bulldongs' throughout the game.
The incorrect name appeared on the screen several times, including after a 90-yard touchdown for Fresno State.
a fan too pointed out that 'Bulldongs' was written on a chart displayed at the end of the first quarter.
After the series of errors were publicized by Horrible ad In X, the error, as expected, spread on social networks.
The 'Bulldongs' mistake was repeated by ESPN on several occasions throughout the game
In the end, Fresno State lost the game 28-20 in double overtime after leading 13-3.
'The 3 best moments of bowl season so far,' one fan joked.
“I'm surprised how they commit to not correcting the mistake,” said another saying.
“I watch this over and over and still can't believe it,” a third fan aggregate.
Incredibly, Fresno State's nickname was even changed briefly on its Wikipedia page, although it has now reverted to the correct name.
Ultimately, it was a tough day for Fresno State in more ways than one, as they lost 28-20 in double overtime, after holding a 13-3 lead in the first half.
NIU quarterback Dane Pardridge connected with George Dimopoulos for a 25-yard touchdown in the second overtime before the Huskies held their opponents scoreless afterward.
Fresno State finished its season 6-7.
