He simply tries to garner attention for himself by making statements that make him seem like he is edgy. Reminds me of the guy in class that always tries to crack a joke with the teacher...the guy who never graduates and never makes anything of himself. Sort of an immature guy. Hopefully his decision making abilities off the field are better than what he showed in this interview or he could join a long line of UF players getting handcuffed. If he had half the maturity of Eric Berry he would be much more respectable.
a side question to afl and rocks, who seem to be logical uf fans: Do you have any worries at all the ut will come out of the swamp with a w?
It's hard to say with any accuracy right now. If Florida comes out slow like they did the first 5 games last year, and Tennessee comes out loaded for bear and plays a great game, I think UT could win.
On the flip side of that, if UF comes out on fire and really clicking, I don't think there is any way UT can win.
The bad thing for the vols, as it stands right now, is that UT is going to HAVE to be able to throw the ball to win. But Florida has outstanding pass rushers, and an amazing secondary. The combination doesn't sound too good for Tennessee.
One thing I feel confident about is that the team that once again rushes for the most yards will win. If Tennessee can actually move the ball on the ground and force favorable short yardage third down situations, who knows, they could pull it off.
But it just seems like it would have to be a perfect game with zero mistakes and I just don't see that happening in year one in the first road game of the year in such a hostile environment.
Wow i love this answer to the question about what he would be doing if he wasnt playing football:
Right now? Id be making a lot of money. I would just find whatever way I could make money, because thats the key to a lot of things in this country. Those who have the money have the power. If I wasnt playing football, Id probably just be out there, I dont even know if Id go to college, that would be like tough and a waste of my time (laughs). I definitely want to get my degree now and do the best I can with it, but if it wasnt for football there would be a whole different mindset.
hard to disagree with that assessment........god i hate reasonable gator fans
are you guys worried about defenses having learned to force Tebow to throw to the sidelines or do you think that is easier said than done.....?
One bad throw in the OU game does not mean that Tebow doesn't have power. Did anyone here watch the clutch throws he made in the 4th quarter against Alabama?
If Tennessee wants to stop Tebow, then the front four has to put pressure on him. Plain and simple.
That has been the recipe for beating Tebow since he came to UF. Put his butt on the ground. Over and over. Even then, there are no guarantees.

Tebow has no problem throwing to the sidelines. Just think about some of the throws he has made against Tennessee in his career.
Think about some of the throws he made, while falling down, that killed Tennessee in the first half of the 2007 game.
Think about the long bombs that he places perfectly in front of the WR's. That killed UT 3 times in 2007, once to Ingram, once to Cooper, and once to Harvin.
