In case you noticed, there was a football game on Saturday night. It was the B1G Championship, actually.

Iowa fought until the end and was an L.J. Scott reach away from earning its first College Football Playoff berth. For those of us that watched the game, those details were obvious.

Well, somebody missed the final few plays or received some bad information.

Iowa Senator Joni Ernst sent a congratulatory tweet to Iowa football following the team’s B1G Championship “win.” Really.

She later deleted the tweet. As you can see, she, or whoever operates her account, was flooded with notifications.

You can bet Ernst’s party might want to double check her tweets before she makes a mistake like that again.
