Auburn and Northwestern are set to face off in one of today’s undercard bowl games, the Citrus Bowl in Orlando. The bowl’s official Twitter account had some fun with the Wildcats this morning.
Back in late November, Northwestern picked up one of its biggest wins of the season, knocking off Big Ten West power Wisconsin 17-7. Before that game, Pat Fitzgerald’s team got some very interesting bulletin board material.
Previewing the game, ESPN’s Joey Galloway downplayed Northwestern’s chances of competing at the top of the Big Ten, calling the Wildcat athletes “a bunch of Rece Davises,” downplaying their athleticism. The team ran with it after beating Wisconsin, owning the nickname and jabbing back at Galloway.
