Tebow Has Cast Removed
Tebow back at practice, just in time.
Super sophomore Tim Tebow had the cast removed from his right hand today and was able to practice without any problems. Tebow injured it in the rivalry game against Florida State back in November. The Florida Gators will play the Michigan Wolverines in the Capital One Bowl on New Year’s Day.
Tim said he didn’t feel any discomfort or pain when practicing and says it felt weird to walk around without the cast after wearing it for three weeks. Tim even picked out a cast that matched his suit when he was in New York last week to receive the Heisman trophy, as College Football’s player of the year. Tim went on to say that he got the cast signed by all the other Heisman candidates, Arkansas’ Darren McFadden, Missouri’s Chase Daniel and Hawaii’s Colt Brennan. Tim said he’s keeping the cast for his personal memorabilia.
Couple of other tidbits, Tim said he’s been receiving a ton of congratulatory notes, emails and letters including from President George Bush. The letter from the President congratulated Tim on winning the Heisman and talked about having his priorities in order, God, family, academics and sport. Tim also received a text message from Kenny Chesney whom he had met last year at a concert.
Finally, Urban Meyer confirmed that senior fullback Eric Rutledge was kicked off the team and will not be playing on New Year’s Day. Coach Meyer went on to say that freshman tight end Aaron Hernandez will probably fill Rutledge’s role against the Wolverines.
