SAN JOSE -- Three San Jose State players recently made the cut in a football ritual like few others.
One by one they got haircuts from running back Tyler Ervin, the Spartans' reigning MVB (most valuable barber)."Some guys play a lot of video games," Ervin said. "I see what I can do to get better at cutting hair."Haircuts have become part of football tradition in the NFL, where veterans often subject rookies to terrible trims in summer camp, and in colleges such as Kansas State, where upperclassmen shave the heads of freshmen upon arrival to fall practice. Ervin, 21, has turned the antics on its head by providing salon-worthy styling for about a third of the Spartans while working out of his two-bedroom apartment near campus.
