TRESSEL DOESN’T SHARE HIS PLAYERS WITH GIRLFRIENDS: The CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER reports that Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel has changed the training camp rules for the Buckeyes this season.
 |
P-D: “Buckeye players revealed Saturday a new rule this season for their three weeks of preseason practice, when they live as a team at the University Plaza Hotel down the road from campus.
“Though female guests have never been permitted in their rooms, in past years players could entertain their girlfriends in the hotel lobby. No more.”
Junior tight end Rory Nicol (apparently) joked “players’ girlfriends were circulating a petition that would land on Tressel’s desk today. And he believes the rule is different for any players who happen to be married.”
Nicol: “I might, get married [today].”
The P-D also notes Tressel’s approach may be based on longtime Cleveland Browns’ coach Paul Brown, who forbade players from having “intimate contact” with their significant others after Tuesday on game weeks.
