Fox Accidentally Uses Kansas State Mascot for Nebraska-Northwestern Promo

It looks like the bizarre moments that often encapsulate college football have started early this year.

In a promotion for this weekend’s Week 0 opener between Nebraska and Northwestern in Ireland, Fox Sports published an article using the wrong Wildcat mascot in the featured image. Instead of of Northwestern’s replica of Willie the Wildcat, it was Kansas State’s version facing off across from Nebraska’s mascot.

While it does not take away from the error on the Fox’s, the two programs do share the same mascot—even down to the name—and the same general color scheme. However, what might be even more intriguing is watching which Big Ten program comes out on top on their European business trip.
