I suspect Tebow will have a concussion and a significant neck strain/sprain, among other injuries.hat was a great I hope he is OK, but that was a clean hit. Meyer had no business leaving Tebow in while he is sick or when the game is a forgone conclusion like this one was. Shameful.

Nope. That is not what he is about at all. I am not certain he will even play pro-football very long. He wants to be a doctor and I suspect he will play in the NFL for just a couple years or so- and get millions and millions in advertising and endorsements- and then retire with enough money to never be concerned about his personal finances. He is a total class act from everything I know about him...

"[Coach Urban]Meyer said earlier in the week there was no chance he would rest sick players.

'That'd be one of the major errors in coaching history to go do that, because you'd go lose,' he said. 'No. Absolutely not. We're going to bring everything and go as hard as we can. That gets you out of the profession, those kind of thoughts. You go as hard as you can.'

'The good thing is I've got a mature group. Not a whole lot of cheerleading going on this week. Got to get better and go play.'"

What is shameful is the way the NCAA ranks teams.

Win BIG or don't bother winning.

A close win is almost like a loss for the higher ranking team.

#23 Then why was he in the game? I dont buy it.

Class act or not, the media thinks he is the messiah. I know it isn't his fault, but every NON Florida fan is sick of hearing about it.

Trust me, I dont want to see the kid hurt, but he was in there for the same reason Colt McCoy was in the game when they were up 30+ to 7. It's the same reason they tried to score with 10 second left in the 2nd quarter and a huge lead. They are trying to make themselves look better.

Yup.

I think that team illness during this season will definitely alter the rankings. Injuries are part of the game and I have no sympathy for a team that loses just because its talent is hurt. That is inherent to all sports. But, an unexpected flu pandemics is not part of the game. couldn't.

I still think the Gators would have won without Tebow and a couple other star players, but their ranking definitely would have been weakened.
