2 Player Planes. Again, would it be any different for any other big time school? No.

As for the other team, that's not my call. But the coaches job's are to win games, and to do that they have to put the best team on the field at any given time.


Interesting that you chimed in... I must have missed your post talking about how you felt bad about Ok.St. when UGA played Cox with the flu. lol.

Sorrry bro it was 3 planes that was sent...read up on it.. and Cox was the only one sick..it was not H1N1 like at UF's campus

"A Florida official confirmed Saturday night that Tebow was one of four players who flew to Lexington, Ky., on one of three planes.

A charter plane carried most of the players to Lexington, Ky., on Friday afternoon. Tebow, defensive backs Joe Haden and Major Wright and receiver Riley Cooper, who were all suffering from respiratory illness, took a second plane later in the day. Five other players, including starting guard James Wilson and starting linebacker A.J. Jones, took a third plane. "

No I mean that the players were on two planes and the third plane was used for coaches and staff

See above

Tebow, defensive backs Joe Haden and Major Wright and receiver Riley Cooper, who were all suffering from respiratory illness, took a second plane later in the day. Five other players, including starting guard James Wilson and starting linebacker A.J. Jones, took a third plane. "

Edit: Ok- I heard that there were 3 planes and the players split two with the staff taking the 3rd. my bad.

Second off, they had two planes to keep guys separated from sick players. (ironic, because you argued UF didn't take enough precautions.)


Third, and this was a major , you realize these guys are students? and they go to classes? and 40%+ of UF has this? and you pass it on before showing symptoms?


UF isn't taking enough precautions with their players.......
Yes, yes I do. I question how soo many players on the team are sick. Are they not taking any precautions during practice, etc? Are they allowing guys who are extremely sick to practice?

UF took some precautions to protect themselves by sending two planes but they couldn't care less about the other team and other people involved in the program.

No, they shouldn't be going to class. I'm not sure about UF but I know UCF has specifically instructed that any students who have the flu to stay home and not go to class. It's one thing if you don't know you have it but to obviously have it and still not take precautions (like staying home) against spreading it is unforgivable.

If they were taking enough precautions, they wouldn't have such a large number of players sick. It shows that practice, etc comes first and then comes illness. Very lucky for UF to have a bye week this week to give the players some time to recover.

The players get sick when they go to class. Then they spread it before they show symptoms. Urban Meyer has talked about the insane precautions they have taken.

UF took some precautions to protect themselves by sending two planes but they couldn't care less about the other team and other people involved in the program.

So?

No, they shouldn't be going to class. I'm not sure about UF but I know UCF has specifically instructed that any students who have the flu to stay home and not go to class.

lol. Obviously. However, kids with the flu, STAY HOME. Not sure what you think goes on.

If they were taking enough precautions, they wouldn't have such a large number of players sick. It shows that practice, etc comes first and then comes illness. Very lucky for UF to have a bye week this week to give the players some time to recover.

Wow your ill informed.

Tebow was held out of practice on Friday when he started showing symptoms, just like everyone else who showed the sickness. Whats your deal?
