Prayers for Tim :love:

[operamac]

he'll be fine I'm sure... but a few prayers couldn't hurt.

[Judoka]

Georgia is getting beat by Arizona St- they just picked Cox off for a TD. I'm really surprised, I thought the Dogs would handle them pretty easily.

[The_Graygator]

I wanted one more score to be honest with you.

[CinciGator]

Prayers for Tim..

have been since it happened

[deviation]

24-20 UT having a tough time with Ohio.

[The_Graygator]

Sack for Hicks, and one more short run by UK, and the game is over.

[The_Graygator]

Over 360 rushing yards for UF tonight.

[Spurffelbow833]

Did the postgame handshake between Meyer and Brooks get a little testy?

[BJ1888]

Yes, hopefully its just precaution.

they won't fly him home tonight anyway, so why not send him to get tested? It'd be dumb not to.

[VTGator]

Did the postgame handshake between Meyer and Brooks get a little testy?

Not at all. Brooks appeared to be asking about Tim and Meyer was showing where Tim took the hit.

[mdgator01]

Did the postgame handshake between Meyer and Brooks get a little testy?

Don't see why it should. Neither of them did anything wrong tonight.

[gatorboi904]

He was just asking about Timmy

[CinciGator]

Did the postgame handshake between Meyer and Brooks get a little testy?

no, it looked like he was saying something about Tim being ok

[TheRaid]

Did the postgame handshake between Meyer and Brooks get a little testy?


WHAT???????

They were talking. They have a great relationship.

Brooks was probably concerned about Tebow and Meyer was talking to him. Brooks is class.

[Go2gtr]

Did the postgame handshake between Meyer and Brooks get a little testy?
I didn't see anything like that. They talked for a minute. Lot of respect between the two.

[operamac]

what I saw in this game is that I still haven't seen a team that can stop us from running. at some point someone may be able to... but I haven't seen it yet.

I think some of the passing problems may be Tebow... Brantley was able to find open guys and hit them... I think we get a playmaker or two at WR and we're a passing Leviathan... we'll see as the season unfolds, but I think Tebow got used to having Harvin and Murphy on the field... and hasn't gotten comfortable with the new lineup yet.

Man... our OL is BEASTLY!!!

and once again... if a team has to pass against us... they're toast.

[iam4uf]

Agreed.

It was a clean hit.

Close, but clean.

Gray, you are all kinds of wrong on this one. When you get a chance to review the video you'll see that the player intentionally lowered his head.

Intentional helmet-to-helmet contact is never legal, nor is any other blow
directed toward an opponent’s head. Flagrant offenders shall be disqualified.
Additionally, the committee altered Rules 9-1-2-l and n slightly to encourage
officials to penalize head-down contact and leading with the crown of the helmet
when tackling.

Final Score

The Florida Gators 41

The Kentucky Wildcats 7

[Spurffelbow833]

That game was one quarter of heaven and three quarters of hell.

[Speedofsand]

I'm listening to the postgame w/ Mick now.

On ABC its Penn St. 10- Iowa 5 at halftime, showing Tebow hit, puking, ambulance ride. Jesse Palmer mentioning bye next week. Extremely useful for Tim to rest.

[Go2gtr]

Tebow heading off to the Hospital.
Vomiting is a concussion thing, the only thing that also factors in is the flu symptoms he was experiencing. I thought just by the look of his eyes he had a concussion.

[operamac]

Gray, you are all kinds of wrong on this one. When you get a chance to review the video you'll see that the player intentionally lowered his head.

no... it wasn't!!! I saw the play from the backside too and it's CLEAR that the shoulder hit first! seriously... take OFF the O/B glasses and actually watch with an objective mind.

[Speedofsand]

Travis McGriff & Scot Brantley recapping from Gainesville.
30 some players ill. OLine dominated.. Gators 52 rush, 362 yds. ..Spikes 10 tackles today...Dunlap had a great game. Team will hopefully get some time off with the illness and bye week. Very fortunate to have the bye.

[orangebluegator]

Let's all hope it was nothing, and at worst, a mild concussion. I hope to hear good news about Tim's condition soon...I'm gonna be listening to Mick on 850 all night.

[orlandogator]

there is no doubt he had a concussion. as for receivers, Brantley put it up for the receiver to get it, not that the receiver was open.

[Speedofsand]

Mick coming back with stats after the break, then I wonder if the locker room postgame is scratched due to illness ?

[TampaGatorFan]

I know it's been posted in other threads already, but Tim's CT came back negative. He will stay overnight as a precaution. He'll be fine. Bye week comes at a good time, though...gives everyone a chance to rest up and heal. We're gonna crush LSU!!! GO GATORS!!!!!

[operamac]

great INFO!!!! rep!

[nawlinsgator]

Man, I hope they are super careful with Tim. There are some football careers, not to mention lives, out then ended early because of concussions.

[The_Graygator]

I watched the video, and it didn't look like an intentionally dirty hit to me.

It was close, but not a dirty hit.
