BROTHER VS. BROTHER:@ Julian Posey is a sophomore backup CB for the Ohio Bobcats. DeVier Posey is a freshman WR for the Ohio State Buckeyes. The brothers from Cincinnati will likely cross paths on Saturday when their teams meet at Ohio Stadium.

Asked if he felt he had something to prove to his brother, DeVier smiled.

"I understand what you're saying, but it's also not really there. It's a game," he said. "I know he's going to be out there trying to do his big-brother thing. I'm not looking at that. I have a game plan that I need to execute on my side of the ball."

The brothers talk on the phone almost every day. DeVier says he tells Julian how much he loves him, how much he owes him for helping to develop him as an athlete. Yet they still have something at stake. It's what brothers do.

"I played him in basketball one-on-one and had chances to beat him and I never really beat him," DeVier said with a laugh. "I don't think that's going to be the case this time."

Family prepares for 'The Posey Bowl'
Brothers to square off for first time when Bobcats take on Buckeyes

When Julie Posey takes her seat in Ohio Stadium, Saturday, she?ll see something she?s never seen before?her sons on opposing sidelines.

Julian Posey is a sophomore cornerback for the Bobcats and the older brother of DeVier Posey, who is a true freshman wide receiver for the Buckeyes.

While they have gone head-to-head in backyard football games, they?ve never faced-off in an official game.

?I never thought this was going to happen,? Julie said. ?It will be strange. I hope I?ll be as poised as Venus and Serena?s (Williams) mom.?

She won?t be the only one with mixed emotions.

About 30 of the family?s friends and relatives will pour in from around the country this weekend, including the brothers? 92-year-old grandmother, to attend what the family has dubbed ?The Posey Bowl.?

They had green and red t-shirts made with clashing Ohio and Ohio State helmets with each of the brothers? numbers on the back.

?As soon as DeVier committed, we?ve been talking about it,? Julie said. ? I thought my out was going to be that DeVier wasn?t going to be on the field.?

All thoughts of that disappeared when DeVier logged significant minutes in Ohio State?s 43-0 win over Youngstown St. He even caught his first career touchdown pass.

It isn?t out of the question that Julian could cover his brother during the game.

?I?ve been thinking about it and I?ve even had dreams,? Julian said. ?Every time it?s the same feeling of accomplishment, like we?ve made it, like we?ve done something in life.?

COLUMBUS - After quarterback Terrelle Pryor, maybe the most impressive freshman for Ohio State in its opener last week was wide receiver DeVier Posey.
The 6-foot, 3-inch 205-pound Cincinnati LaSalle graduate caught four passes for 47 yards, including a 25-yard touchdown throw from Todd Boeckman in a 43-0 win over Youngstown State.
He displayed the athletic ability that made him a state champion in the 400 meters last spring and a basketball player with a 33-inch vertical jump. He also stayed calm in his first time in front of 105,000 people at Ohio Stadium.
He says his mom, Julie, might have a little trouble staying calm this week, though, with him playing for Ohio State and his older brother, Julian, playing for Ohio University against the Buckeyes.

reality check folks- if/when the staff feels hes earned it hell get it. if he was the better option to help the team do what they need to do (score more points to win the game) then it will happen. he needs to stay healthy, practice hard and make and impact. the outcome will then take care of itself
