Northern Illinois’ football team wasn’t a popular Bowl Championship Series pick to some people, including ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit.

Herbstreit ripped into the Huskies during Sunday night’s BCS bowl selection show, calling the pick “a sad state for college football.” NIU fans and players reacted. Quarterback Jordan Lynch lobbed an orange at Herbstreit on the projector screen in NIU’s Yordon Center, where the team was gathered to celebrate their BCS bid and watch the show.

The Marathon gas station in DeKalb wrote “Suck our oranges ESPN Go Huskies!” on its sign.
