TEBOW!!!!!!!

I was rooting for Colt (hawaii pride and all), but Tebow is amazing.  I can't believe he's only a Sophomore!

First, Congrats to Tim. He had a helluva season, despite that ugly jump pass. And if you take one thing from this post, let this  be it. He won, congratulations.

Now...IMHO, Tebow's good, but there are better. I just think many of the better candidates weren't considered. For instance....The Heisman is untouchable by a defensive player, an offensive lineman, or anyone other than a running back or QB or the occasional wide receiver.  Many of the heisman voters (40%) submitted their ballots before the last week of the season, meaning they didn't see critical conference championship games. And if you're not on a team in the top 10, forget it.  I'm just not down with the process, or the criteria.  It's a footnote, an afterword, irrelevant anymore.  But congrats to him; his resume and accomplishments seem to have struck the right chord with the voters. 

I dunno which is worse...the Heisman, Gold Gloves in Baseball, or Dancing with the stars, or the BCS. They all seem to, err, suffer from the same malaise.

Re-read the first two lines of the post...I'm excited for him, and respect everything he's done this year, and am more than happy for him and the Gators. Outstanding stuff. And he IS a good guy. I just don't understand the award anymore. And that's not just a this year thing...I just happen to have posted this year. Nothing against tim, at all.

I like Running QBs (running like a running back not running scared).

I thought he went to a HS in Jacksonville (actually it was south of Jax)  But found this on wikopedia.

"The Nease Panthers football team were 4A FHSAA State Champions in 2005, as they beat the Armwood Hawks 44-37, led by Tim Tebow, the 73rd Heisman Trophy winner (however, Tebow did not attend Nease as he was homeschooled). "      So he got to play sports but didn't have to attend classes at the school.

Jake Locker for Heisman, probably not next year but Junior and Senior year.

Barry and I were watching, and we couldn't believe he won- we really didn't think he was gonna get it-being a sophomore and all...

A big "GO GATORS" to everyone in the Gator nation!!! A great day for us all. 

I knew my friends were full of crap and just jealous of my superior  mind 

holllerrrrrrrrrrr!!  woooooooooooo!!  GATOR NATION BABY!! 

Let's recap Tebow's greatness, shall we??   More rushing touchdowns than the greatest runnings backs EVER....(Walker, Jackson, Smith), oh and McFadden.  No QB has ever thrown for MORE than 20 AND rushed for more than 20 in a single season.  He had the second highest QB rating in the country.  He completed over 68% of his passes, all while playing in the toughest conference and a strength of schedule in the top 15 of the country.  All the while holding a 3.76 GPA.   And did I mention that he's precious as  can be?? I hope my daughter can find an awesome fella like that to marry some day!!

Don't forget leading his team to the Capital One Bowl.

*snicker*

With a freshman defense, on the heels of a national championship, it's not so bad.  And....if I am not mistaken, the Heisman is an individual award, not a team award.  

Stats are wonderful, but the point of the game is to win.

Just poking a little fun at you Gator types.

Great.  Not sure what that adds though.

Obviously, but how else would you pick an MVP? Have them arm wrestle?
