I completely agree, that's why I posted it. I read those two sections and said, "What?" They didn't say anything. |

UT's recruitment of him has never been at issue at all, so I don't see where the risk supposedly was. It's not like they turned down somebody else that they could have had instead. |

If you want to know what "everybody thinks" about something, he's your man. If you want original analysis, you have to look elsewhere. |

It's incredible that we live in the information age, with all the facts readily available, and yet so many people run around spewing garbage. |

| The whole Tebow vs. Charlie Ward thing that is mentioned in that article is crazy. Statistically, Ward doesn't even come close. I hate florida with a passion...but my god, you've got to respect the numbers that Tebow has. |

| | Spike Drinks, Not Trees | Maybe they will meet during Tebow's next prison ministry? I guess we have some obligation as UTK fans to look for the rusty spots on Tebow's shining armor but dadgum if that man is not one hell of a competitor. |

| I think a lot of people are still baffled that a 5-7 Tennessee team could land the top recruit in the nation so he MUST have some baggage.
Why else would the almighty Trojans or Gators pass this kid up instead of giving Bryce credit for choosing different schools or UT's staff credit for recruiting him.
It just makes it easier for them to report that he had baggage and will be a headache than accept what actually happened.
