Grab your barf bags; it's gonna' be a long, long week

PrintPerhaps you were clued in by the openly-reminiscent, misty-eyed Verne and Danielson yesterday. Or, perhaps Tracy Wolfson's eye black gave it away. In any event, this is going to be a long, long week filled with over-the-top fauning, maudlin displays of Tebowlove (tm), and ridiculous pronouncements on all things Tebow.
Today, comes the beginning. From Mr. Forde at ESPN
Generosity of Spirit Sets Tebow Apart
He said afterward that he wants the fans to remember him for "how much I cared." The fact is, fans have never cared so much about a player before.
"I've never seen anything like it," Florida coach Urban Meyer said. "… He's made unselfish kind of a cool thing."
None of us has seen anything like it. What makes Tebow unique in the 140-year history of this game is not just his unquenchable spirit. It's his generosity of spirit. (-emphasis, mine)
This is just the first, but by no means the last, awkward mawkish thing written this week.
Instead of the game of the decade, the battle of #1 and #2, the battle of the two best defenses in football, the battle of Heisman finalists, the second matchup of Meyer-Saban, the seventh meeting between Alabama and Florida in the SECCG. the battle for conference supremacy, the national title implications...we are going to be exposed to nitwit human interest stories and disgusting puffery.
Grab the barf bags.

Industrial strength barf bags.
Or maybe an entire pop-up box of barf bags. One thing I am so tired of is the self-conscious, overdone display of “look how special I am because I am so special.” Whatever happened to a sense of proportion. On the field, within the rules of the game, there is no place for moderation, but in life? If you really are Superman, you don’t have to walk around acting like it; you let the deeds speak for themselves.
You can't win. You can't break even. You can't get out of the game.

Totally agree.
The UF-FSU game yesterday was sickening with all the worship of Tebow. The UF fans are as much in love with Timmy as CBS. The thing that caught me yesterday was that it was Senior Day at UF for a large class of seniors. But in reality it was all about Tebow. Not the team, not the seniors, just Tebow.You would have thought Tebow as th eonly one graduating. Actually, you would have thought saying bye-bye to Tebow was the only reason 90,000 were on hand.
If I were a senior lineman for UF I might have a hard time blocking for the messiah.
And, anyone who can’t tell the difference between a really humble and nice guy named Colt McCoy and Tebow has been blinded by the hype.
And, why does Tebow sound like a sissy when he does an interview?
I hate the NCAA more than UT & AU combined. At least with UT & AU you got a fighting chance.

We actually played the Tebow Drinking game yesterday.
….we were all sloshed halfway through the 1st quarter. The Tebow drinking game is no joke, especially when the game is being broadcast on CBS.

Here is the funniest part of the article...or
…should I say the most evident reason to beleive Gregg Doyal is a crack smoker…
“This weekend, Florida named its score against a Florida State team with more talent than Texas A&M or Auburn”. – Gregg Doyal
really? FSU is better than Auburn? REALLY? The same FSU team that needed a miracle to beat Jacksonville State and the same FSU team that beat a 2 win Maryland team in the waning seconds? The same FSU team that lost to USF with a first game freshman starter? WTF?
FSU has more talent than Auburn, especially on defense. The difference is that they have zero coaching and have rolled over all year. Methinks a team with less talent that’s well coached and plays tough is a more difficult than an opponent with tons of talent and no coaching.
by Bama philosophe on Nov 29, 2009 8:08 PM CST up reply actions
ehh
FSU doesn’t have that much talent on defense. Even if they were well-coached, which theyre not, they have very little experience. guys like mangum just arent very good.
he was injured. injured bad.
they have some talent
Most of the guys wearing garnet and gold were recruited by UF and Bama too. The difference is that our coaches make players better, while FSU’s make them worse.
Most?
That’s just not true. There is little difference between these two teams talent-wise.

I know that recruiting sites are what they are
But in 2006 – UF was ranked 2nd and FSU 3rd.
There are only but so many big recruits in the south and every one of them has a list of schools that they are interested in. Basically, all of them look like this:
Alabama
Florida
Florida State
Miami
Texas
(insert other here) – i.e. Ohio St. USC, Auburn, UGA, UT, etc……

You know if we beat Tebow.. I mean, Florida....

The Tebowlove is absolutely ridiculous… isn’t there something in the Bible about worshiping false idols? I wish the game could be about football and nothing else, but their isn’t a chance of that.

b) why are we attacking the character of a student athlete for his association with faith?
c) just don’t go there.
I’m not attacking him pesonally. BY all accounts he’s a great guy and is a great talent. It’s the way the media throws themselves at his feet that annoys everybody. If you listen to all they say you would think he won both championships single handedly. They seem to forget Chris Leak was even on the team for the 1st one.

"Only the strong survive , but the strong still get their [fannies] whipped." Coach Nick Saban
I’m sorry but why would you mention the bible and crucification if you weren’t talking about HIS character? What do those things have to do with the media’s portrayal of him as the best player ever to play the game?
Further, the instigation that someone would be a hypocrite for ‘worshiping an idol (Tebow)’ seems to suggest that Tebow himself should be responsible for how he is portrayed. Maybe I’m reading in to that too much.
Question...
…if Tim Tebow were a black muslim and his name was Muhammed Abdul Ali and he had Koran messages on his blackout….do you think he’d be getting the same media love? If nothing else about his football ability changed or his accomplishments, just his name and his beliefs? Just a question…. I seriously doubt it….

a) We all had a hand in putting Christ on the cross, and so did both the Jews and Romans.
b) I understand what you were saying, RocksinBama. No offense taken there, or for anything you have said. However, other’s attacks at his faith and especially the sex references toward him are uncalled for. If it was the child of anyone who talks that way about him, I doubt they’d be quite as amused, though I’m sure some will hide in the fact that it is, in reality, not their child and act like they would never take offense at people who are “just joking around.”
c) Huh? Where? Why?
I bleed crimson and white...I puke Vol puke orange. RTR
a) Totally correct – we did put Him there, but historically speaking, the religious establishment was behind his trial and execution. I didn’t expect that people would understand that correction. The romans basically said “we can’t find any fault in Him” and sent him back to the jews. Eventually, yes, roman soldiers put him on the cross. But yea, it’s our fault, and amazingly beautiful at that.
b) You said it better.
c) I mean, don’t drag his (Tebow’s) faith, or any faith into this. Seems whenever people aim for Tim Tebow they also aim for what he believes/stands for.
You sound like all the other Tebow worshipers. Why is Tebow the only player in college football whose religion is broadcast every time his name is mentioned ? There are thousands of other players who are just as religious as TT, they just don’t seek to exploit their personal relationship with God. I suppose the entire Bama team will be doomed to eternal damnation for circumventing God’s will by defeating the Chosen One’s team in the SECCG.
There are few other players
who are as talented, yet as openly religious as Tebow. I have zero problem with someone being openly religious, in fact, it’s quite refreshing to me. I seriously doubt that he has some kind of agenda (i.e. calling CBS and getting them to come to retreats he goes to, or whatever). He’s in the spotlight, and unashamedly lets people know where he stands religiously. Now, what CBS and other networks do with that is quite out of his control, and I think the reason for that is precisely his position in the CFB league. If Tiger Woods or Michael Jordan lived a life like Tebow, I’m sure it would become a news story too, and probably grossly over-used as it has become with Tebow. There are just not that many players of his status in the game, and that’s why it gets the airtime it does.

I haven't seen you
shy away from unashamedly stating your opinions about moral and religious matters. You have some very strong opinions – ones that you would prefer that other people hold. Great. State them. Try to convince people. It’s a free country. If you had media swarming you, I seriously doubt you’d just sit on your opinions or stop living your life the way you want to live it. That’s not shoving it down people’s throats – it’s being true to what you believe and who you are. Give Tebow a break.

I think the game will be about #1 vs #2 - SURVIVAL
Yall are kind of jumping the gun with the Tebow stuff. Also, senior day in Gainesville was much different for the fans in attendance that it was for people watching the CBS perspective from home. All the seniors were honored equally – including one would-be senior who passed away in an auto accident a couple years ago.
I think that is most of the points made here...
…the media acts like Tebow is the only player on UF’s team. Honestly, do you not tire of hearing about just one player. I fully admit that Tebow is a special player but he would not be where he is without the rest of the team. The media (CBS in particular) rarely mentions the rest of the team. Why do you think there is a Tebow drinking game? Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate his talent and his class but there ARE other players with those qualities.
Auburn and Tennessee fans are a lot like Slinkys...neither are worth much but you do get a sense of satisfaction from pushing them down a flight of stairs
Really?
I thought Tebow was the only quarterback that screamed at his team at half time and tried to pump them up? You mean to tell me there are other qb’s that do that as well? lol…
ok…this is getting old now…I am done. Some folks will never get it.
Personally
I will miss Spikes just as much as Tebow – he has been the emotional leader and captain of a defense that is probably the best to ever wear the orange and blue.
But even then – Spikes told Tebow on a recruiting trip “I’m going where you go.” And when Tebow came back for his senior year, Spikes did too – even though he was giving up way more than Tebow to do it. I am thankful that Spikes’ draft stock was not damaged at all by his return. His family needs the $$$ that the NFL will pay him next season.
WHAT????
I thought this was a blog on Alabama football…..not a church sermon. Lets stick to Alabama Football and save the religious beliefs for another blog. This is SEC Championship week and as much as I love Christ….I want to read about beating the GAY Tebow and Meyer express. Teebow absolutely makes me want to puke….not because he is a great football player but because he thinks he is Superman. I would have just as soon lost to Auburn this past weekend and beat the hell out of the Gators and then get to hear him cry on National TV again. Would make my day, year, century.
Live with it...
I live in Jacksonville, FL and have to listen to this nonsense regularly. On a regular basis (several times a week) this sort of BS is the head line in the sport page of the paper. It makes my blood boil and my hatred for all things Gator and Tebow. Roll Tide Roll !

Who cares. The Jags really. They are a weak organization. Unfortunately I could see Weaver thinking he’d sell some tix by drafting him. Then they could uncover the 10,000 or so seats they cover up for about a season. Then the MAN CRUSH would die out as all the Gator Nation comes to realize he is not an NFL QB.
The
Most annoying part of it all to me is the fact that Tebow won not Florida. All the headlines are Tebow this and Tebow that. Florida didnt win. I mean come on Florida ia a great TEAM. Why cant they say Florida won this or that. I mean honestly he is good at what he does but not the only player in the history of the sport who has done great things. Hell I am not even sure he is the best player who has played for Florida. Spurrier had alot of good players go through his system. Hell he was pretty good himself. Also another question I would like to ask is how good is he out of the Florida system? Would he be so great on a team with a great power back or under center all the time.
I am a member of the Sabanation Roll!!Tide!!
uhhhh no?
If he was in a pure passing system, he would have 54 less touchdowns and probably be less than mediocre. So what’s the point? That he is brilliant to choose a school that runs a system that perfectly suits his abilities?
Also, yall are only seeing the public media side of things. Gator Nation sees the “team” just fine. Sure, it’s Tebow’s team, but it’s still “Touchdown Gators” not “Touchdown Tebow” to us. Don’t let the media shape your perceptions.

It is fine for Gator fans to cheer for him, but the media should just announce the game.
I think a lot of people though despise Tebow the person because ot he media hype.
As far as the NFL is concerned, I really have no idea what he’ll do there, but I surely agree that his skill set isn’t near NFL quality. It will be interesting to see if he would be willing to try playing a different position like fullback or tight end. I think if he were able to play on the NFL level at a different position, it would only add to his legend.

It’s unfair, but it’s often the by product of media saturation. See: Tom Brady, 2006 USC (weren’t they the ones ESPN called the greatest football team of all time before they even took the field?), etc.

Kind of like the legend of Matt Jones? 
Jones is definitely the first name that came to my mind too
except the big difference is that Jones was a pretty good QB, but not a Heisman quality QB.
I think Jones is/was a better all-around athlete.
Imagine they hype if he had played for a top program…

As a Christian I approve and respect Tim's extroverted love for The Lord.
Tim throws a fat football. His ability to get rid of the ball quick is just not there. I’ve never seen him under center or run the Fla offense from a pro set. Nothing about his style adds up to success “on paper”. But….get this, Tim keeps himself in the presence of the Lord. Look at the book of 2 Samuel chapter 6 verse 11. Tim is modern days Obed-Edom. Regardless of the stage he represents The Lord. God has blessed Tebow accordingly. Tebow is a winner and it all starts with being a Christian. This is the reason our great country is failing economicaly. Our leaders have gone out of their way to remove God from everything. ( ie school, public functions ) hence there aren’t any blessings. Now, no I don’t believe Florida will roll into Atlanta sporting the Arc of the Covenant yet having a QB who literally walks with God in everything he does doesn’t hurt their chances.
Your temper brings dishonor to my happy mooshu palace.
And you know this because
you are Tim Tebows prayer partner? Or maybe he is your next door neighbor?

Filipino circumcision is a cultural tradition.
Granted, it is based in Jewish/Christianity tradition, but whether you agree or disagree with this ‘tradition’, it is still part of Filipino culture. The doctors involved were Filipino. You make it sound as if Tebow and a band of lunatic Christians invaded the Philippines and started chopping on children against the will of the locals. (war crimes reference). The Tebow’s and others were there to provide free medical treatment for the locals who came voluntarily for various medical/dental reasons.

Well, he started it!
..but seriously, I’m kinda tired of the ’I’m sick of hearing about Tebow all the time" posts…and using Tebow as a reason to berate Christianity. But, like you, I wade through ’em anyway.
Good...

Alabama looked better than I remembered last year in the SECCG...
Of course I refuse to watch the 4th Qtr.
Looks like the same Florida team as last year.
Got that winning feelin'
Tacky Ass Urban Meyer
With his new college gameday spoof where the espn cronies ask him why he doesn’t wear a visor like Spurrier,or a visor like Tressel.Then he hold’s up his hand with his championship rings on them.Rather ironic they just started airing that ad last week.
and i find
the Urban commercial freakin hilarious.

The SEC should put some kind of clause in to not play an SECCG if the teams to play are ranked 1 and 2 in the BCS standings. Winner of the NC takes both the SEC Championship and the National Title. Why not have the two best teams in the country actually play in the NC game as opposed to one knocking the other out a right before the final standings are set? Yall’s thought?
Nope.
You have to beat the best to be the best, and if the SECCG is the de facto national title, then so be it. Besides, I am in that camp that firmly believe that you absolutely must win your conference to play for a nat’l title. Without being the undisputed conference overlord, how can you even lay claim to the boast that you are the best in the nation.

dsz002 makes a decent point though
If it were Ohio State and Penn State ranked #1 and #2 instead of UF and Bama (or whichever Big 10 teams didn’t play each other this year), then none of the conference championship games would matter this season.
The B10s unbalanced schedule does create nightmares...
and, as I was about to type more, my head just started hurting trying to figure out the reaction. It would probably be the other conferences and media raising holy hell, pointing out that this is the reason for CCGs, and then Delaney would smugly go about his business despite the hue and cry…
And he’d have good reason to. I can think of only one other conference that has been the beneficiary of undeserved BCSCGs…the B12.

Doesn't the PAC 10 play 9 conf. games?
The only true round robin?

The Big East also does it...
…they just don’t get as much credit for it since they only play seven conference games. To my knowledge, the Mountain West does it also (I think they have nine teams.)
The Big East...
…is not as irrelevant as the Big 10….

well possibly
But that’s kind of like saying that Indiana is better than Illinois. They both suck so it doens’t really matter.
Agreed...

who said either one
was relevant?

But with a CCG it nullifies the unbalanced skeddie
If 1 and 2 are in the same division, that’s sorted out on the field. If they are in diff divisions, then its settled in ATL.
The only time I remember it being a source of contro. was UGA in 2007. But, they had a chance to take care of business in their division and failed to do so, losing twice. So, that brings me to my first point: No conference title, no BCS game for you.

The schedule...
…still isn’t balanced though and therefore, basically still the same problem. I understand what you’re saying about it being settled in the division or in ATL, but it still doesn’t take away the fact that the schedules are unbalanced. I don’t think the mere presence of divisions addresses the problem of unbalanced schedules enough.
If we hadn't added ARK and SoCar
then I think a round robin would be feasible…not sure how you resolve that with 12 teams.
The addition of PSU to the B10 was just bizarre, since the schools had no natural affinity and/or rivalry and/or cultural similarities. They should add ND and go to divisions, or let PSU go dominate the Big East and play a round robin (obviously that would never happen, because Jo Pa won’t play Pitt again as long as there is life in his dessicated undead body).

why is that?
i keep seeing references to this concept; that JoPa will never play Pitt as long as he’s coach at Penn St.
any reason for that? or is he just scared of a glorified MAC team?
for the next five days there is nothing in my heart but hate. pure, untempered, ice-cold hate. fond memories are for saturday. - Kleph
Jo Pa has nursed a grudge
for the better part of 20-30 years. He wanted to fashion an Eastern Seaboard athletic conference, and Pitt (allegedly) spurned the notion. That’s why he’s been calling for expansion of the B10 to include more eastern schools (namely, Pitt).
Plus, they are traditional rivals that sadly no longer play. Although there always was/is animosity between the cross-state institutions. Urban v. Rural, land grant v. liberal arts, etc.

It really depends on where the seats are
I have a ticket “professional” buddy who told me the “walk in” price is $300 – meaning that’s the cheapest the worst seats are going for. If I can help it, I always prefer to sell to a friend at face because it’s a round world and all. If you don’t know anyone going that needs seats though, you might as well Ebay it and make some dollars to brighten your family’s holiday!
Good luck.
wow, that is torture
….talk about those comercials called the Budlight Challenge….where the guy can’t stand working past 5 pm. This is much much much worse….
I'll at least be able to watch it on my laptop...
…and then after the first hour I’ll have about 15 minutes in the car before I get to my brother’s to watch it in glorious HD on a TV the size of a football field.
That is horrible man...

I watched the second half of the iron bowl at work. Awful. But we won.
