Just a day after Ohio State lost to Florida 24-17 in the Taxslayer.com Gator Bowl, new Buckeyes head coach Urban Meyer laid down his first rule: No more Twitter. The announcement wasn't met with any alarming opposition. Rather, positive comments from a couple of his players popped up.

"New staff, new rules," tight end Reid Fragel said on the social media site. "No more Twitter, not a big deal and probably for the better. Love our fans, love this place. Go Bucks #2012." Another tight end Jake Stoneburner posted, "Twitter=Done. Me=back for senior year, leading this team, and shocking the world!! #gobucks #12-0." We would definitely be shocked if the Bucks went 12-0, but there's just one important thing to remember: Even if they did, Ohio State is also banned from bowl games in 2012.
