NO, and all this "I don't want Fla. to have any excuses when we win" talk is a flawed argument...how long will the fact that we beat them without Tebow be remembered? A couple of weeks, max. No one is taking credit from Miami for beating OK without Bradford. It is just a win and we have a better chance of winning without him.
I don't want him out there hurt either...besides the fact that I don't want him to get seriously injured, I don't want his leadership, fire, holiness crap on the field at all...

No way.

I don't think FL will even consider playing him this soon.

They just don't want to show us their hand yet.

And I hope they don't play him, because I don't want LSU involved in another injury to Tebow, just because Meyer played him when he wasn't 100%.

And anyway, if we keep improving and getting enough good fortune, we will still have to beat FL-with-Tebow in Atlanta.

So this game is not the most critical one for either team.

God no.

I know if UF loses, everyone will be saying that it'd be a different story if Tebow had played, but I don't give a flying f*ck. A win is a win, and that's all that matters.

However, playing UF minus Tebow will be an easier game. TT is the quintessential "X-factor". He is so dangerous, it gives us the edge if we don't have to worry about him. Brantley may be a good QB, but he's not the threat TT is.

I want Tebow to play. If we're going to beat the #1 team in the country, I would want their #1 quarterback to be at the helm. That way we either beat 'em at their best or we lose to the best.
Geaux Tigers!

Yes, I don't want to hear any excuses from the gator fans or the announcers or coaches or anyone else about hot Fla would have routed us if Tebow had played.

If Tebow plays and LSU wins, we'll hear how he wasn't at full speed. If he doesn't play and LSU wins, it will be because Tebow didn't play. It's damned if you do and damned if you don't.

That said, it's going to be a loooong week.

Yes...but only if this young man is healthy...if they allow him to play and he is not 100% and could possibly get hurt again...I just don't want to see that.

But yes to your question...if he is healthy!

Guys UF will have an excuse if they loose even if their qb was Bert Jones!

yes I want him to play, but not because he won't be 100% but because I want UF to bring their best. BNo asterisk if we win.

YES, it would be easier to gameplan around a QB they have faced before rather than an unknown. They already know Tebow's strengths and weaknesses and can plan accordingly.

I only want Tebow to play if he is completel;y healthy. That is, because I want LSU to beat the ever loving hell out of him and the Gators. I do not want anyone holding back at all. Tebow will likely be healthy enough to see us in Atlanta. Then we can remind him what he missed in Baton Rouge. A good old fashioned trip behind the woodshed.

I tend to believe that Florida isn't as good as they seem.. I'm starting to think that all this crap about the team being sick and etc. is plain BS... Florida hasn't beaten anyone worth talking about...So I want Tebow to play and be at his best... to tell you the truth I think our defense is becoming a stud defense...

I hope he doesn't play, I want any advantage we can get in order to win the SEC West. But, it would be fine if he's back in time for the SEC championship game.

I personally don't think he should play though... Remember what happened to Trent Green?

That is my point...Troy Aikman, Trent Green, Steve Young, Chris Miller, Stan Humphries....I mean the list goes on & on...
They really need to be sure he is ok...I would hate to see this kid, after having a great college career, not be able to continue to the pro ranks because of rushing to play to early!

I'd like him to play if he's not going to get hurt too badly... and stay out if he would

Either way, i want to see LSU play him again in teh SEC CCG
