Penn State Football Fixes Viral Super Bowl Tweet: 'No Magnifying Glass Needed'

Penn State's social media team has revised a widely mocked graphic meant to highlight the program's NFL alumni.

On Thursday, the Nittany Lions account tweeted a graphic that stated, "A Penn Stater has appeared in every Super Bowl." However, the fine print clarified that a Penn State alum has appeared in all but five Super Bowls since 1967.

On Friday, the program gave its graphics department another chance, and it sent out a corrected image and mocked its initial phrasing.

The original graphic became a college sports meme as schools like UMBC and Ole Miss poked fun at PSU's claim.
