THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

DORAL CHENOWETH III DISPATCH
Ohio State receiver Brian Hartline makes one of his 18 catches this season as Marcus Sheets of Minnesota latches on for the tackle.



The competitive fire that burns inside Ohio State receiver Brian Hartline means that duels can flare up anytime.
Throughout his life, the venue and choice of weapons varied: Monopoly in the living room, basketball in the driveway, the national championship college football game in the Louisiana Superdome.
But the moment that stands out the most to Brian's father, Dale, occurred years ago while the family was enjoying a day of inner-tubing at Seneca Lake in eastern Ohio.
Dale and a teenage Brian were on separate tubes being towed behind a boat, which zigzagged through the water while the two tried to knock each other off their tubes.
"It was like a demolition derby," Dale said. "You'd mash into each other. He bet me I could not knock him off, and I couldn't do it.
"Finally, I figured the only way I could do it was with a suicide mission, so I landed my tube on top of him and flipped us both.

Swell young man, and no bashing intended here, but could we maybe get a collection started to buy Brian a new set of hands?

Seriously, is there any possibility he has had a hand injury this season?

hartline possible disciplinary actions

BuckeyeXtra - The Columbus Dispatch : Buckeyes poised to go; Hartline? Stay tuned

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- On the eve of his team's Fiesta Bowl vs. Texas, Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel said that other than dealing with a possible disciplinary measure against receiver Brian Hartline, the Buckeyes are as healthy as they've been all season and are raring to go.

 

[NFBuck]

WTF?

 

[Taosman]

A late night In and Out Burger run? :tongue2:

 

[MaxBuck]

... one regular starter who might feel like he's being held in reserve at the start of the game could be Hartline. He supposedly missed the team's 1 a.m. curfew on New Year's Eve though Tressel did not confirm the transgression nor the expected punishment.

Not a major deal, apparently.

 

[BuckWrestler141]

I know we are talking about college kids but the offense and the timing of it is something that I would consider a big deal.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

oh no...what ever will we do...

 

[el mastiff]

Jimmy crack corn.

 

[ysubuck]

Talk about a blow to the offense!

 

[crazybuckfan40]

Posey Time!!!!

 

[Buckeyecty4]

Nice job Hartline, nice job...

I'd rather see Posey in there anyway

 

[akronbuck]

if he had an ASU cheer leader, I forgive him for being late

 

[Electron Boy]

Talk about a blow to the offense!

this was my initial reaction, but honestly you never want to see a multiple year starter sitting out in a crucial bowl game, even if he hasn't been all that great this year.

with that said, i really don't think there'd be much dropoff if any with posey playing instead of hartline
