COLUMBUS -- It might take only two words for Ohio State co-captain Kirk Barton to make his point when he addresses the team today before his final game against Michigan.

Two words. Seven syllables. Minimal and yet a mouthful.

Barton savors perfect record vs. Michigan

ANN ARBOR, MICH. Right tackles who weigh 300-plus pounds aren?t supposed to scale a brick wall.

Who cares? Kirk Barton felt like he was floating after the fifth-year Ohio State senior, with 14-3 win over Michigan in hand Saturday, climbed a wall to hug his mom, Brigette, and hand her one of the roses the Rose Bowl folks gave the Buckeyes.

Barton is the rarest of Ohio State players: Four Michigan starts, four Michigan wins.

?Their three big guys (running back Mike Hart, quarterback Chad Henne and tackle Jake Long) all turned down the NFL so they could come back, beat us and ride out into the sunset,? Barton said. ?I guess a funny thing happened on the way to the sunset.?

(Hart) runs his mouth. He didn?t even shake my hand before the coin toss,? Barton said. ?If that?s how he wants to carry himself, it?s fine. He got what was coming to him.

I think we need a new version of Chad Henne is a motherfucking joke......

Mike Hart is a motherfucking joke.

"Their three big guys (running back Mike Hart, quarterback Chad Henne and tackle Jake Long) all turned down the NFL so they could come back, beat us and ride out into the sunset," Barton said. "I guess a funny thing happened on the way to the sunset."

Happy Trails...

Nice game Mr Barton. We know how to win in the Big House and keep it classy.

Here's a nice tidbit:

Kirk Barton is the first Buckeye to start and win 4 games against TSUN.


EDIT - According to a later SI article, Barton is the third to do this. Anybody know who the other two are?

 

[DaddyBigBucks]

But not the first to start four games vs. scUM and not lose any.

But you already knew that.

This Senior class led by Barton did a tremendous job leading our young Bucks. Kirk led by example and vocally with emotion. These leadership traits will continue to provide dividends after he has moved on to greener pastures. His and Deonte's leadership make Ntre ames pathetic excuse of lack of senior leadership ring so hollow.

Thanks for a great career and congrats on the four pair of gold pants.

Oh wow look at that. The slow and sluggish Big 10 with 5 AA, God's conference with a whopping 2....as many as the WAC.

Must be too many coaches from B10 coaching trees, and they (the voters) must be slow in more ways than of the foot

Way to go Kirk
