well hope he's ok. having the flu and being up 31-7 he shouldn't even have started the 3rd quarter.

Hindsight is always 20-20. I would have preferred him not to be in there but I was even miffed at our passing game. Hopefully he will be okay.

only word so far is that he has a concussion. he's also left the hospital at this point. no word on recovery timetable yet, but they do have a bye week this week before playing LSU the following week

Good to hear. I saw the hit and thought he broke his neck. Hate to see anyone get hurt, especially if he didn't need to be in the game at that point.

I am glad to see the Vol fans being so classy. I hate to admit it but you do have one of the classiest fan bases in the SEC if not the country. Tebow was released today and had a CT scan and was diagnosed with a concussion.

How long is he out? Getting two concussions without a good amount of time between them is serious business. Trent Green missed a ton of time when he got his bell rung.

Last I heard is that he is home and resting. He will be fine, but they are monitoring his status very closely.

I heard that if they had a game this weekend he would not play.

That was a violent hit.
He's lucky it did not break his neck.

You are right. Lucky to get up after that whiplash.
Tebow will be closely monitored and will undergo numerous tests before allowed to play again. He could miss numerous games--concussions are nothing to mess around with. I bet he misses at least 4 games. That powerful neck saved him from a really serious injury--IMO.

I agree that concussions are serious and should not be fooled with, but no way does Tebow miss 4 games.

He plays against LSU two weeks from now.

Agreed.

The American Academy of Neurology Web site describes a Grade 1 concussion as the athlete having transient confusion with no loss of consciousness. A Grade 2 concussion is when those symptoms, including mental confusion, lasts longer than 15 minutes, and a Grade 3 concussion is when there is any loss of consciousness, even if it is for just seconds.

A player with a Grade 1 concussion can return to play the same day, while a Grade 3 concussion may require a player to be out for a full week.

The Gator Nation appreciates the class and respect for our fallen warrior as shown by your posts here. I hope you find it matched by our respect and prayers for one of your great warriors, Nick Reveiz. As I noted on another thread, I hope we see him next year, stronger, faster and wiser. Not good for my team, but great for him!

They will watch Tebow closely over the next week and let him rest. As long as he shows any sign of concussion symptoms he will not be allowed to play. Tebow is a warrior and his desire to play and win is legendary, the coaches will only know what he tells them after all the outwardly visible signs of concussion go away. As long as he doesn't feel right in any way he should shut it down.

When I saw his arms held rigid from the elbow after the hit I knew it was a concussion. When you see that it is never a good sign. I would be surprised if he is on the field for the LSU game. His style of physical play means it will be more likely he has more of these in the future, once you receive an injury like this it often makes you more vulnerable in the future. Another concussion or two like these and his career could be over before it ever started, not to mention the long term side effects of post concussion syndrome.

I hate what he's done to us over the years as a player but I wish the man a speedy recovery.

It felt like I stopped breathing after he was hit. Extremely scary when he wasn't moving. I have the upmost respect for that kid. Hope he gets better soon!!

Okay, let me start off by saying that I hope Tebow is okay. I NEVER take any pleasure from seeing a player getting hurt no matter who he plays for.


That being said, I have an honest to God question. All I ever hear about is what a great and honorable kid Tebow is. What makes him such a great person? I hear about his "Christian" values and yet the announcers on the game the other day pretty much said he cursed during his big "Ride My Back" speech. I am not trying to down Tebow, I just would really like to know what I am missing. Has the state of young people become so bad that if they are not doing drugs or in jail, then they should be considered saints? Tebow is a great player and I wish him well, I'm just not ready to see churches built for him.

First of all, cursing isn't exactly a violation of "christian" values. A good friend of mine's father is a preacher and i've heard him curse from time to time in intense/extreme circumstances.

If you haven't heard of all the things Tebow does off the field you can easily find out with a simple google search, but he does far more volunteer work than any other player i've ever heard of at any level.
