Remember when Percy Harvin said that if he could trade places with anyone for a day, it would be Tim Tebow? We didn’t think it was to spend time at the local prisons sharing the Word …

Tebow Still Leads Heisman Pundit’s Week 3 Poll, Best Close Second

admin — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 13:39:22 +0000

Tim Tebow still leads Heisman Pundit’s poll through week 3 of the college football season. Tebow received 7 first place votes to lead with 57 overall points. Cal RB Jevhid Best jumped Texas QB Colt McCoy to take second picking up 5 first place votes and closing Tebow’s lead with 55 overall points. Best picked up 4 additional first place votes this week, taking 1 from Tebow and 3 from McCoy. Miami’s do-it-all QB Jacory Harris jumped into the mix at #4. Harris’ entry into the sweepstakes could hurt Tebow’s chances as Tebow will likely need the East and Southeast vote to become only the 2nd two-time Heisman winner.

Eye Black to Blame for Tebow’s INT/Fumble Against the Vols?

admin — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 22:52:18 +0000

Tim Tebow has become a one man bible verse machine since his meteoric rise onto the college football scene three years ago. The bible versus he chooses to wear each game on his eye black routinely find its way onto Google’s most searched terms. Yesterday’s Romans 8:28 was no exception coming in at No. 5 on Google’s most search terms for the day.

We couldn’t help but to notice that Tebow’s INT came right after the eye black carrying the chapter and verse fell off his left cheek. As the game went to the half, we were sure that the chapter and verse would make it back where it belongs. When Tebow returned to the field, the chapter and verse was nowhere to be seen. Late in the game, as the Gator were driving for a touchdown to seal the victory, Tebow uncharacteristically fumbled (only the 6th of his career).

Could Tebow’s eye black be his equivalent to Sampson’s hair? Just in case, we recommend Tebow go with Judges 15:15-16 next week!

Reason No. 1001 Why Tebow Can’t Play in the NFL: He’s a lefty?

admin — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 12:20:42 +0000

We here at Gatorfootball talk have heard it all: he’s never taken a snap, he’s not accurate (I’m looking at you Mel Kiper), his arm is not strong enough, his throwing motion is too loopy, he will get beat up trying to run in the NFL, and he has only ever played in the spread offense.

But this one takes the cake, the Wall Street Journal, yes we said Wall Street Journal, of all people take their shot at why Tebow can’t play in the NFL: He’s a lefty. The Journal takes a look at the lack of left handed quarterbacks in the NFL to surmise that being left handed may be Tebow’s downfall. Gatorfootballtalk suggests that the Wall Street Journal stay in its weight class. (WSJ)

Thou Shall Not Take Topless Pictures With Tim Tebow

We didn’t even know this was a problem, but apparrently our bible-verse-eyeblack-wearing Timmy has been approached “four or five times” by girls asking him to take a picture with them, only to have to dive, yes we said dive, out of the photo when the girls try to take their tops off. The latest encounter happened at Radio Shack, of all places. Sometimes it is good to be king, but really girls, must Timmy be on the lookout that your going to whip your ta-tas out while enjoying chicken-fried steak Tuesday at Grandy’s? (NY Times)

Tebow: “Nobody puts Coach Meyer in the Corner!”

admin — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 13:40:45 +0000

Tim Tebow honored the late great Patrick Swayze this week when responding to a reporter’s question about Lane Kiffin’s claims that Urban Meyer cheated during the recruitment of Nu’Keese Richardson. When asked about Kiffin’s accusations, Tebow responded “nobody puts Coach Meyer in the corner!” O.K., so Tebow didn’t actually say that, but said he doesn’t like anyone talking about his coach and has Coach Meyer’s back. (Gatorsports)

The Lane Kiffin calls Meyer a cheater story has officially jumped the shark. We can only guess that it is Kiffin’s comments that are the only thing keeping this matchup resembling anything close to a “rivalry game”.

Tebow Leads First Heisman Poll

admin — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 19:30:07 +0000

After winning the Heisman in 2008, and finishing 3rd last year to Sam Bradford and Colt McCoy, Tim Tebow leads the way in Heismanpundit.com’s first Heisman poll of 2009, followed closely by Colt McCoy of Texas and Jehvid Best of Cal. Heismanpundit.com surveys thirteen Heisman voters giving points on a 5-4-3-2-1 point basis (each selects 5 players). Tebow received 59 points (9 first place) to McCoy’s 52 (3 first place), and Best’s 42 (1 first place). Other notables include Ole Miss’s Jevan Snead and BYU’s Max Hall.

We will keep a close eye on Heismanpundit.com to see how Bradford’s injury impacts the polls. Bradford’s injury could actually hurt Tebow’s Heisman chances as the midwest voters were expected to split votes between Bradford and McCoy. With Bradford’s votes likely going to McCoy, McCoy could run away with a “Career Heisman” this year.
