ESPN explains why Fresno State was called the ‘Bulldongs’ during Idaho Potato bowl
ESPN gave explanation why the spelling error was shown during the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl game between Fresno State and Northern Illinois.
Throughout the broadcast Fresno State was refereed to as the “Bulldongs” instead of the Bulldogs.
Many quickly saw the error shown on the broadcast, but ESPN said they regret the error was made.
“We regret the inadvertent error and apologize that it was part of the telecast,” the ESPN spokesperson wrote to The Bee.
ESPN said there was a technical issue that caused a scramble right before the game went on air. It was a total accident,” the network wrote in an email.
Still, many laughed at the error and made a joke out of it.
