It’s a sibling’s dream come true: little brother getting the opportunity to beat up big brother.

The Posey sibling rivalry was in full force during Ohio State’s 43-7 win over its “little brother” school, Ohio University.

“It’s always been our dream and now it’s kind of our reality,” DeVier Posey said.

The Buckeyes took home the win, and wide receiver DeVier took home bragging rights from big brother Julian, a Bobcat cornerback.

Julian might have two years on his little brother, but on Saturday, that’s all he had.

DeVier remembered the last time the two teams faced off against one another in 2008, when Julian promised a beat down.

The Buckeyes edged their way to a 26-14 victory that day.

Saturday’s game wasn’t as close.

Early in the game on his first catch, DeVier offered Julian a stiff arm to the face mask and a little bit of trash talk.

“I just told him, ‘you better get in the weight room,'” DeVier said.

In the first quarter, Julian escaped for a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown before a penalty called it back.

“I was happy for him. At first I was like, ‘Oh man, I’m not gonna hear the end of this,'” DeVier said.

“It’s hard to stop a guy with the last name Posey,” Julian said.

The brothers caught up with one another after the game.

“He says he got robbed on that kickoff return but you know he’s going to think that the rest of his life,” DeVier said.

Growing up, Julian wasn’t always the bully.

The loss of their father in 1999 made the two extremely close. Julian took the big brother role seriously and served as a role model, DeVier said.

They are best friends and don’t go a day without talking, but this week DeVier said they hadn’t spoken since Wednesday.

There wasn’t much trash talk on the field. DeVier had a different strategy to rattle his brother.

“I was trying to steal all of his accessories,” DeVier said. “I think there was one time I stole his towel.”

More than 40 family members donned T-shirts that boasted “Posey Bowl II” in support of both teams.

Proud mother Julie Posey had a colorful jersey, split scarlet and gray on one side and green on the other.

“I am really, really glad it’s over and I’m ready to party with my babies now,” Julie said.

“It was a good time and kind of crazy to go against him, but it really wasn’t as emotional as I thought,” DeVier said.

Looking down the road, DeVier knows what he’s going to tell his family.

“The first thing I’m going to say is like, ‘Dang do you remember that score? We like whooped ya’ll man,’ and it’s just gonna silence all talk after that,” DeVier said.

Julian’s prepared to hear it.

“Man, I gotta live with this the rest of my life,” Julian said.

At the end of the day, who got the best of whom?

“I mean, you saw the scoreboard,” DeVier said.
