"Our director of operations (Jamie Speronis) filled it out and brought it in to me one day. I looked at it quickly. I said, that’s fine. I signed off on it." Spurrier continued. "When all this came up Wednesday and in the Thursday morning paper, I read, some guy did not vote for Tim Tebow. Who was that?

"I called him (Speronis). I said, certainly we had Tim Tebow. He said, well, actually, coach, we had Jevan Snead. He said something about we already had 10 Gators, maybe get another guy. I said, that’s bad. But it's my fault. I take full responsibility. I messed that up. I apologized to Tim Tebow. We screwed it up pretty badly. I'm embarrassed about it. I feel bad about it. That's the way it happened."
