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?

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?

‘If the strapping 6’3” 235 lb. lad wins the Heisman, he’ll be making history on several counts. First, he’s only a sophomore. ‘

I like the guy, and I think he’s got a fair shot at winning the Heisman.

That said, it wouldn’t be ‘historic’ for a sophomore to win the trophy. Archie Griffin won it as a sophomore I think.

Third, this son of missionaries to the Philippines was homeschooled in
grades K through12.


Hmmm...maybe I'm not watching enough ESPN1 and ESPN2 or listening
enough to local ESPN radio to pick that up.

Or maybe that's a factoid conveniently ommitted from ESPN reviews
on Tebow.
I guess you need involvement in a gang shooting or robbery to
have your off-the-field activities to get a mention in today's
sports media!

Interesting. Where are all the anti-home schooling Freepers (ok, there’s only 2 or 3 of em) compalining that Mr Tebow didn’t get the right “socialization” from Publik Skrewell?

By any standard, Heisman should belong to Tebow

Fame finds the Tebows

There is even a ‘Tim Tebow Bill’ in the Alabama legislature which would afford home scholars equal access to public school sports programs and extracurricular activities.

Oh man. the socialists aren't going to like this at all especially if he wins the Heisman.

When was the last time the Heisman went to a 9 and 5 QB?
