Vandals Hit Spartan Statue At MSU, Pay Special Attention To Crotch [PHOTO]

Vandals have struck at Michigan State University ahead of the school's big football season opener against Oregon on Saturday.

The statue, located near Spartan Stadium, was targeted sometime Thursday night or early Friday morning.

Vandals painted a blue "M" on the statue's chest, with the Greek symbols for alpha and omega below in yellow paint. A blue stripe is painted on its face with a yellow stripe painted down its arm. There's also a large yellow splotch on its crotch region.

It's unclear who is responsible for the vandalism, which took place before a nationally televised game.
