Loud, funny and bright, Barton finishes up Ohio State career

Kirk Barton is the anti-Tressel.
Ohio State coach Jim Tressel strolls the sideline, necktie in a perfect knot, not a hair out of place and with a personality to match.
Barton, on the other hand, is a boisterous, hard-living offensive tackle. He's also one of the top-ranked Buckeyes' captains _ a decision Tressel signed off on. The two couldn't be more opposites.
"There's no clash, but there's a lot of difference," the senatorial Tressel said, comparing himself to his star offensive tackle. "The beauty of a team is that you have a million different personalities. If everyone was like me, we'd be in trouble. If everyone was like him (hesitating for effect) we'd be in trouble."
