I'm no expert either. The one phrase that I could read clearly occurred on the sideline, about 10 to 15 minutes after the hit. Tebow says something in response to a question that looks like "I don't know" and then clearly said "I don't know where I am" to a trainer. > The other thing is this whole debate over whether he should have > been in the game.

I would be talking about it, simply because we didn't need TT after the first quarter and we needed to give Brantley more experience. It's the fundamental Hendrix equation. Frankly, at our Gatorviewing party, we were uniformly shocked that Tebow went into the game after halftime. This was before, and independent of, the injury. This is not like baseball, you can pull a player and then put him back in. Give TT an extended halftime rest, and some IV fluids for the flu. If Brantley does well, keep him out of the game. If the unthinkable happens and UK mounts a comeback (against our defense? - but still), we have a rested and recharged TT that we can put back in the game. No clue about Mack Brown. I only have enough room in my head to follow one team, and know it pretty well. -Zeb --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
