During a lopsided 56-10 loss to Michigan, some on Twitter were piling on the Husker football team and that group included a fast food chain.
Wendy's official account tweeted a shot at Scott Frost Saturday, prompting a backlash from Husker fans.
Might need a Scott Frosty to ice down the beating Nebraska is taking.#FreshFanReaction

And when the Nebraska faithful got upset with the restaurant, it doubled and tripled down on its stance.
It’s honestly not even mean. We offer a dessert for a team that’s hurting.
Some people need to moisturize that thin skin— Wendy's (@Wendys) September 22, 2018
No. It’s a joke. It’s playful and not mean spirited. There’s nothing to apologize for.
Take a deep breath and log off for awhile.— Wendy's (@Wendys) September 22, 2018
We’re just suggesting an after game snack to sooth the wounds

In response to the fast-food chain not backing down from its joke about Scott Frost, some Husker fans took to Twitter to attempt a boycott.
Might want to see sales go down in Nebraska for the snide Jab #boycottWendys

#boycottwendys hope your franchisees don’t have restaurants in Nebraska. Wait, they do? Yikes, I hope the third party managing their social media pulls their head out before they lose market share. Wait, they have already? Darn it.
