    I was surprised it was this high. I would have thought 6.5 to 7 points. Most sports books have it off the board now until the Tebow question is settled.

    Knowing Meyer, the Tebow question won't be settled publicly until about 6:50 PM Saturday.

    I hope they play Tebow, I dont want any excuses when we take down Florida. I am tired of hearing how over-ranked LSU is when Texas, Florida, & Bama are running up stats while beating up on teams equal to highschool programs.

    While i agree we do NOT have high powered explosive offense, YET.... we have the players and the Talent. No more screens, tosses, and options to the short side of the field LES! When we run to the near side with Holiday, we take away his only weapon, his speed! Run to open field!

    When Sheppard touches the football he makes things happen, when enters the game we throw off the defense, lets see more Sheppard, why does he come in, average over 5 yards a carry and go sit down again! lets see Sheppard throw the ball. Lets see more triple options, lets see more WR Screens, reverses and delayed handoffs, lets beat Florida and Meyer at thier own game!

    Lets match up, Talent vs. Talent. We have it, Les Miles, USE IT!

    Jefferson, move around more, you have 2 HUGE receivers and a GREAT tight end, TRUST THEM.

    Chavez, defense is getting better and better!

    I'm not sure you guys can win the Tebow Question, regardless.

    If he plays and wins, media sainthood awaits.
    If he plays and loses, the media will play the "he just wasn't himself" card.
    If he doesn't play and they win, the media will say Tebow won it through some kind of mental transfer to his teammates, a religious seance of sorts.

    So it's probably best to get the win and take the abuse.

    I also think we win outright


    And if that is the line I know that I am going to drop atleast a 100 on the game.

    Did'nt think it would be that high. If I was a betting person I think I would leave it alone.

    Are there odds if Tebow plays or not to bet on?

    I would hate to see him play and get knocked out of the game. We would never live that down. :lol:
