Typically, the Twitter feed for official events or organizations offers very cut-and-dry posts and nothing too controversial or acerbic. But not the Orange Bowl’s.
With many in the Twittersphere going off on non-AQ Northern Illinois going to the BCS over the likes of Oklahoma and others, the @OrangeBowl feed stood up for the MAC champions. Not only did @OrangeBowl stand up for the Huskies, it also fought back, as evidenced by the tweets below.
25,000+ college kids getting blasted by haters from every direction at @niuathletics and we get a finger wag over one little tweet? #ouch

Lots of #toughthumbs on twitter tonight. Remember last year when 82% of fans said @wvusportsbuzz was going to get crushed? #whyweplaythegame

To whoever is running the feed for the Orange Bowl, keep doing what you’re doing. Or at least convince your bosses to keep letting you do what you’re doing.
