Mike Hartline the quarterback owned some doubters last season, but this year Mike Hartline’s mustache has a growing group of fans.
In fact, the hair above the junior quarterback’s lip has gained its own group on Facebook: “Mike Hartline’s Mustache.”
Creator Robert Rogers and administrator Matt Powell write on the site:
This group is dedicated to the mustache proudly worn by University of Kentucky Quarterback Mike Hartline. Say what you will about his play on the field, but you have to respect a man with a mustache. Burt Reynolds in the Longest yard? Mike Hartline at UK? Cooincidence? I think not. #5 is bout do do big things! KEEP THE MUSTACHE!!
