Obviously, Florida has a law that allowed him access to playing sports at a high school though he did not attend classes there.

Good.

no offense to Tebow, he’s a fine player, a freak of nature even. But it will be a shame if McFadden doesn’t win the Heisman. I’ve never seen anyone like him. He will dominate at the next level... OTOH, Tebow will have to develop a new style of play if he wants to survive the NFL. He won’t be able to take off and run over people like he does now.

How could Tebow have played high school football if he wasn't formally enrolled in any school? Or did he?

Also, how is he doing academically at Florida?

I agree with everything you have said. McFadden deserves it, although I do think Tebow is a Freak, and at the college level anyways, is simply amazing. Having said that, if the Oregon QB doesn’t get hurt, I’d have to consider him over Tebow as well.

He's an Academic All-American.

How could he possibly be well-adjusted without getting beat up at school? Having his lunch money stolen? Learning how to put a condom on a cucumber? Interacting with drug dealers?

I agree. She could definitely use some comforting.

Bloody hell. The actual subject of this thread should be about, you know, those.

I’d still consider him. With Dixon, Oregon is possibly the top team in the country, and should be playing in the National Championship game. Without him, they aren’t even in the top 50.
