Ohio State sophomore Brian Hartline has a unique insight into the Southeastern Conference.

His younger brother, Mike, is the backup quarterback at Kentucky. The Wildcats beat LSU earlier this year, and the Buckeyes wide receiver has been picking the Wildcats? heads about the Tigers.

But there is only so much Kentucky players can, or will, share about LSU. After all, Brian Hartline plays for Ohio State. And outside Ohio, at least it is perceived in the OSU locker room, there isn?t a lot of love for the Buckeyes.

Ohio State returned to practice Wednesday, and Head Coach Jim Tressel didn?t send his players home empty-handed. Every player received a DVD containing just about every negative comment the OSU coaching staff could uncover regarding the Buckeyes? Jan. 7 national title game against LSU. The basic message: These guys don?t think you have a chance.

from the BP Track thread here.....
Anthony Cole won the 60-meter dash with a time of 6.80 and Aaron Johnson took third in a time of 6.94. Brian Hartline made his debut with the Ohio State track team, taking second in the 60-meter hurdles in a time of 8.19. Jonathan Francois took third in a time of 8.31.

"We are starting to really come together, led by our weight throwers Lenny Jatsek (seventh in the country) and David Ebersole (11th)," Gary said. "Both hurdlers, including Brian Hartline, look like they can make finals at the conference next week.

Hartline is my favorite player on Ohio State's team. Just the way he goes all out and his days on special teams throwing his body around against much bigger guys endeared him to me early on..

And he's the reason I'll wear #9 next year.

Brian Hartline practices the 110-meter high hurdles alongside javelin thrower Patrick Filip.



The sequence flashes through Brian Hartline's mind like lyrics to an old love song.
"Burst! Three steps in between each hurdle. Then getting there No. 1. I just love it."
Until a couple of weeks ago, Hartline, a receiver for the Ohio State football team, thought his hurdling memories would be just golden oldies, recollections of three years ago at Canton GlenOak High School when he won state championships in the 110-meter high hurdles and 300 intermediate hurdles.
Coming back from a broken leg suffered during football season, competing in the hurdles not only speeded up Hartline's rehabilitation, it was therapy for his competitive spirit.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Hartline happy to be back on track
Buckeyes receiver working on speed

By MATT MARKEY
BLADE SPORTS WRITER


COLUMBUS - It's more than five months until the start of football season, but Brian Hart-
line is spending his time trying to run away from people. The Ohio State wide receiver is putting his speed to work back on the track this spring.

Hartline, who will be a red-shirt junior for the football team in the fall, had not participated in track since the spring of 2005, when he won state championships in both hurdle events as a senior at Canton GlenOak. It's been all football since then for the
6-foot-2, 180-pound Hartline.

"I'm competitive, and when I walked away from track, I did miss it," said Hartline, who competed in a couple of indoor meets for Ohio State this past month, and plans to run more in the outdoor season later this spring, once his football commitments are fulfilled.

"There is just something different about competing in track. You are out there alone, no team around you, no helmet to make everyone kind of look the same. It's nerve-wracking, but it really gets the competitive fire going."

At the Big Ten Indoor Championships in Wisconsin earlier this month, Hartline ran a 8.04 in the 60-meter hurdles in the semifinals, the third-best time in OSU history. He placed seventh in the final.

"Working out for track got my legs back into shape, but I can't say I'm too comfortable with my hurdle technique yet," Hartline said. "It's kind of like riding a bicycle - once you learn how, you can always get back on and ride, but you just can't do all of the old tricks right away."

Sports Spotlight: GlenOak grad Brian Hartline knows this is big season for him, Ohio State
Saturday, April 12, 2008

REPOSITORY SPORTS WRITER

COLUMBUS If there is one thing Brian Hartline does not want to leave at Ohio State University, it's regrets. The GlenOak High School graduate, whose college career was sidetracked after a broken leg during his senior season at GlenOak, has seen his future flash before his eyes.

Quite honestly, he likes what he sees now.

Hartline has emerged as one of the Buckeyes' go-to players in what will surely shape up as a season of the loftiest expectations. He is half of the Brians, with teammate Brian Robiskie lined up at the opposite receiver spot.

Ohio State notebook: TD receptions help Hartline's separation anxiety

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
One of receiver Brian Hartline's goals during Ohio State spring practice was to create more space for himself on pass routes. During the jersey scrimmage yesterday in Ohio Stadium, he hit the equivalent of the open road. He caught 53- and 25-yard touchdown passes from Todd Boeckman to help the offense defend its right to wear the scarlet jerseys in practice.
