Tim Tebow suffered a hyper-extended knee in the Oct. 4 game against Arkansas, but coach Urban Meyer said Thursday it has not affected Tebow's play at all and he hasn't missed any practice time. "It's fine,'' Meyer said. "Go to sleep tonight knowing he's fine." The injury was revealed after CBS play-by-play announcer Gary Danielson said Thursday that Meyer told him Tebow had been injured earlier in the season, but Florida had kept it quiet. Meyer said the injury happened on an interception throw in the Arkansas game, and he didn't not talk about it because Tebow continued to play. Meyer said Tebow isn't one to talk about his injuries, pointing out that Tebow told him before last year's Georgia game that he was "fine.'' "I later found he couldn't pick his arm up,'' Meyer said.

It's too bad AP cropped this picture of Tebow and Meyer playing GRAB A.S.S.

Tebow is a tough guy who wants to play. However, the Gators have to protect him from some of these hits. I know Tebow wants to play but this guy is the franchise.

I am rooting for the Gators tomorrow and I hope that the game against Georgia will be a classic.

I cleared my calender for it: 3:30 pm I will be locked and loaded on CBS and waiting!

I hope Tebow is healthy so the Gators don't have any excuses this year.

They kept it secret because they didnt want UGA to know of another weakness like his bum shoulder last year.

I currently attend the University of Georgia, and all I have learned is that Georgia fans are really the most ignorant, stupid, and inbred fans of any sport on the planet. I hope Florida beats the living hell out of them this weekend. Then, I want all of these stupid fans to get back on these blogs so I can see what they have to say then.

GOOOO DOGS!!

Georgia fans are a joke. The rest of the college football world constantly mocks and laughs at them. Does anyone that is not a Georgia fan disagree?

October 31, 2008  02:36 PM ET

I don't know anything about them but I dislike the south as a whole.

Hilljacks like "Go Gators" certainly are not helping are they?

October 31, 2008  02:50 PM ET

nope, it seems like it is cool to be a moron in the south

Calm down. You did beat UF last year. I can understand why you may "dislike" the South because they rub it in (SEC mostly). But it only neutralizes the arrogance of Buckeyes from "THE" Ohio State University.

It seems like the best talent on Michigan came from the South. So let's keep the hate amongst schools and not make this territorial. I think it's safe to say there are morons all over this country.
