No Buckeye comes closer to defining a Michigan Man — uh, a Beat Michigan Man — than Kirk Barton, the first Ohio State player to start on teams that defeated the Wolverines four straight years. Barton played on the offensive line for Jim Tressel, then served as a graduate assistant coach from 2010-2012 under Tressel, Luke Fickell and Urban Meyer.
