    I'll go on record as saying "That would be really, really, really stupid to start TT this Saturday based on what we all saw 2 weeks, ago....a young man, in the physical and moral shape that TT is in, throwing up due to the severity of the hit that he incurred, unless the Surgeon General cleared him to play".

    Tebow was back at practice in full uniform. I don't know for sure what that means but that's the news.

    I'm not sure he was throwing up due to the hit. Wasn't he so sick that he went to the game after the team in a private jet?

    That's right gipper, he had the flu so whether the throwing up was due to that or the hit is a legitimate question.

    They have experts that will decide whether he can play or not.

    I watched Urban's press conference yesterday on the U. I'm not too sure the kid isn't seeing stars still

    Well I'm sure Urban doesn't want to give Les Miles any edges so he's not going to say one way or the other and Les will have to prepare for UF with Tim and UF with Brantley.

    Game Time decision...doctors will evaluate after the flight. Mean while we will learn today whether or not Sam Bradford will play this weekend.

    I think Urbie is planning a "Willis Reed" moment here. Brantley will take all the warm up snaps and about one minute after the teams run out on the field before the opening kickoff a solitary Tim Tebow, helmet in hand, will run out to play.

    I'm sensing some theatrics.

    It looks like Tebow may start. I wonder how long it will take LSU to knock him out?

    Corey, it's not like they wouldn't be trying to knock Tebow out anyway is it?

    Bill,

    Of course I was joking about the over/under.

    The LSU players don't have to try. After an injury like his, normal contact could cause further injury.

    Looks like Tebow is cleared to play.

    Bill,

    As Tom picked up on... it's not even a matter of trying. I hope for this kid's sake that the medical staff is right and not buying into that Superman ********. He's more than likely going to get hit in the helmet a few times today.. If he plays his normal physical style, it just takes one decent pop. It doesn't even have to be dirty.

    Here's a quote from an insider article on how the decision is being made.
    I have faith in that team and Urban Meyer to make the right decision.

    While not getting the same publicity, we have another player with a concussion also. No one has heard about it, which is logical as he's a backup and not Tim Tebow.

    You know nobody really wants to be the guy who makes that call. If Tebow is hurt again in this game, he will be crucified.

    What seems to be lost in this entire soap opera is the fact that there are other players on the Florida team. Does one player make the team??? Urban Meyer has not had top 5 recruiting classes the last couple of years for no reason.
