TE Rory Nicol (Official Thread)

I'm not denying it happened - the incident or the ESPN report. Just find it amazing that ESPN would find it worthy of mentioning - witch hunt or no.

Rhett Bomar got cited for the same thing a few weeks ago, and it definitely made the national news. The difference in the level of attention between a starting QB and a backup TE is understandable.

Also, I think the thread title should be changed to 'Cited'. I don't see any mention of the word 'arrest'.

I just checked their site when I verified that they will not be showing the game on the GameDay package. There is no mention of this on their site at all, in any way. That is a big change from the "program out of control" crap of the last few years.

Don't get me wrong, it will take a lot more to change my view of ESPiN, but I appreciate it that they are not trashing Rory Nicol.

I am a police officer in Southeast Ohio. Can anyone tell me why tOSU officers just hunt for football players to hook up? I have talked to several of their officers and they almost act like it is a trophy to get a football player. However, if you are saying "white shirts", it must have been CPD this time.

Rory Nicol?

What is up with him, I haven't heard an update on him in weeks maybe months...I'd assume there is no way he is going to play in the bowl game to save the eligibility...but whats the deal? There were some rumors of trouble with him, talk of an injury that he'd return from around the Penn State game and never came back...Anybody?

Oh, and yes

In regards to the injury, a lot of the players who got hurt--Freeman, Cordle, Lyons, Hamby-- were in uniform a few weeks later and ready to go if needed.

Rehring and Nicol were two guys who were in street clothes for the rest of the year. Take that for whatever it's worth.

Catching the eye

The Buckeyes have four spring practices in the books, and one thing has been a constant in the reports from the sessions, which are closed to the public and media: Quarterback Troy Smith is looking good.

"Troy has done a nice job," receivers coach Darrell Hazell said. "

I think he has kind of taken off where he left off last year, being a great leader and throwing the ball very well."

Otherwise, freshman tailback Chris "Beanie" Wells "had a good day on Saturday, and (sophomore tailback) Maurice Wells has been playing pretty consistently," said Hazell, who met with the media yesterday. "And you know what? The tight end spot has probably been the biggest difference."

He referred to Rory Nicol, who is coming back from a leg injury that kept him out last season, and Marcel Frost, who moved to tight end last year after the spate of injuries at that position.
"Both of those guys are playing real well right now," Hazell said.
