This one's also funny, from the same ozone article.
Quote:
OSU offensive tackle Kirk Barton was being interviewed after the game when a question came to Barton from a reporter standing to his left. Barton looked over to the questioner and saw it was ESPN's Pat Forde. Barton took the opportunity to take a good-natured jibe at Forde.
"Man, I didn't know Pat Forde was going to be in the building. We must be moving on up in the world. I didn't see him against Kent State," said Barton.
The comment brought a chuckle, including one from Forde who took the comment very well, though he did turn a little red.
The price you pay for being a bandwagon jumper.

I had a humorous exchange with Kirk at work a couple days ago. I work at a music store in the area, and he came in to buy a CD. Luckily, I was behind the counter at the time.
He was buying the new Britney Spears album. He walked up, looked at me and said "This isn't for me, man. I bet you get that all the time."
I kind of laughed and told him that he was the first guy to tell me that.
Then he chuckled and told me "You gotta do something nice for someone else every once in a while."
So it doesn't sound so funny at the moment.. but it was at the time! Can't wait for his next quote. Haha

Some quotes from yesterday's press session.

Quote:
Kirk Barton, senior right tackle
On Illinois
"They are a very good team and are hungry for a win. They play great defense and play tough. It is going to be a good game on Saturday."
On Ohio State and his last game
"I love this place. It has been my home and our last game at the Shoe will be special. I'm going to miss my teammates the most. Over the years, they become your best friends. The coaches and trainers have been great."
On the offense
"We feel better about our game plan as the season goes on. We have started to pick it up more with the more experience we gain. As an offense, we now know what to expect and hopefully, we will continue to get better and better."

Loud, funny and bright, Barton finishes up Ohio State career
By RUSTY MILLER AP Sports Writer
Published on Thursday Nov 08, 2007
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."
