Nebraska Cornhuskers News: Hitler makes an apalling appearance, more

While the Nebraska Cornhuskers were busy winning a couple of times Saturday, Michigan State was busy embarrassing the Big Ten conference yet again.

While Saturday was a day to savor for the Nebraska Cornhuskers, it’s one that Michigan State hopes everyone somehow magically forgets immediately. And not just because they lost to bitter rival Michigan, 49-0.

On Saturday during that particular debacle, the university showed several trivia questions on its scoreboard. One of those trivia questions featured a picture of Adolf Hitler while asking what country he was from.

It took no time at all for people around the internet to notice the genocidal maniac’s inclusion in the festivities and Michigan State was once again at the center of another horrendous controversy. It got worse when they tried to blame a “3rd party vendor” for the picture being on the board. That 3rd party vendor then made it clear the Spartans didn’t have his permission to use his YouTube videos that showed Hitler’s photo.

This controversy of course, comes just weeks after the Michigan State Spartans fired former head coach Mel Tucker when it came to light that he pleasured himself while talking to a rape survivor on the phone.

While Michigan State continues to embarrass the Big Ten, there is at least one possible positive coming out of this. The program is in absolute shambles. Here’s hoping they don’t straighten up before they take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers next month.
