UPDATE: Tebow "laughing and joking" this morning. Non-issue?
ORIGINAL:
Here's what we know, and what we don't. Credit to the Independent Florida Alligator for breaking the story:
*Tebow has flu-like symptoms. Unknown whether it is the "swine flu."
*Tebow flew to Kentucky on a quarantined flight full of players who were also sick.
*No word on the severity of symptoms or how it will impact Tebow's play or playing time.
*Yahoo's Dr. Saturday, Matt Hinton, accurately predicts this as the Story of the Day, because it offers the chance to add to Tebow's mythology with a Jordan-like "Flu Game."
(Alternatively, it might create an opportunity for John Brantley to come in and run the offense in a non-blowout situation -- intriguing in its own way.)
Even more alternatively, this could be the "black swan" event that derails Florida's title hopes. You don't plan for a third of your team -- including your best player -- to have the flu for the first SEC road game of the season.
This game -- for Tebow and for the entire team -- will be about gritting out the win, taking it and heading into the bye week with two full weeks to get healthy before traveling to LSU.

Nice Black Swan reference, you a Taleb fan?
