They Erased His Masterpiece...💔 #nfl #shorts
Using his foot as a paintbrush, Brutus Buckeye clears snow to draw an "O-H" and cross out Michigan's "M." Ohio State's mascot celebrates toward the crowd. Then a grounds crew member gets down on hands and knees and removes his handiwork.
That is the "masterpiece" at the center of BellProductions' fast-moving Short, which passed roughly 2.2 million views in ten hours, far beyond the clips channel's usual Shorts start. This is edited college football footage, rather than an original BellProductions production.
The joke needs no touchdown or disputed call. Brutus watches from the sideline, turning to a spectator with theatrical disbelief as his snow drawing disappears. The commentary supplies its own escalation: "Grounds crew has to get out there!"
Viewers are talking about the mascot's reaction as much as the drawing. One recalls seeing the moment on live television; another, identifying themselves as a Michigan fan, questions whether the cleanup was even necessary, since play would eventually have erased it anyway. Brutus, at least for the camera, is considerably less philosophical about the loss.

That mascot was so devastated to see his masterpiece get destroyed. At least he tried.
