Neighborly Rivalry Goes Viral

One of the greatest college football rivalries pits Ohio State University against University of Michigan, but NAFB member Ty Higgins, farm broadcaster with The Ohio Ag Net (Columbus, OH), recently took that rivalry to a new level. While Ty's neighbor, who is an avid Michigan Wolverines football fan, was out of town in mid-June, Ty decided to do something that would soon go viral on social media. He mowed the iconic "Script Ohio," typically performed on college football Saturdays during Ohio State Buckeyes home games, into his unsuspecting neighbor's back yard. The video of Ty’s creativity with his mower was posted to Higgins' Facebook page and has received close to 2.4 Million views and has been shared almost 40,000 times. "At first, this was just something I wanted to do to rib my neighbor a little, and I only videoed it for him to see," TY said. "Turns out that a few more people caught a glimpse of my work." Higgins has been featured on numerous TV and radio stations and was featured in hundreds of articles from Fox News, NBC News and USA Today to name a few. But the highlight of the week was when Higgins was the topic of conversation on ESPN's Sports Center. "Anyone who has ever watched me play any sport, from basketball to corn hole, knows that there is no reason for me to be on Sports Center," Ty said. "I still can't believe that what I did got that much attention. It was a crazy couple of days to say the least." You can check out Higgins' work for yourself on his Facebook page. Also, Ty posted it to YouTube.
