Tebow Skips Senior Season, Ascends Directly Into Heaven

MIAMI (SP) — Shortly after leading the Florida Gators to a national championship with a 24-14 win over Oklahoma, junior quarterback Tim Tebow announced he would skip his senior season and ascend 
directly into heaven…{Read the rest of this story here}


I guess this is meant to be a jab at the press, including the Fox announcers, ESPN announcers, CBS announcers, and every other person who has ever met Tim Tebow. I just think it’s funny, mostly because Tebow doesn’t believe all this stuff. (And I don’t think his friends and family would ever let him.)

Thanks to Bob Henley for sending this my way.

(And if you haven’t seen this video, then you probably don’t watch much sports news.)

A great, great, great day to be a Florida Gator. From the moment that Major Wright separated Oklahoma’s Manny Johnson from his senses, it was a wonderful thing to watch the Gators capture their 3rd National Championship. [The picture is from GatorSports.com]

And there’s more to come, we think. It’s good to be on top. It’s good not to be Florida State or Miami or Notre Dame or Tennessee or many other teams that can only look up from their position far down the mountain.

One of the best things about this was being able to share it with my children, having been able to attend games with them this year, so they got to experience what a championship season is like. It’s good.

The real story is the Gators – back in the championship game. And this is how they got there…

That’s easy with FSU. Yes, I know, I’ve heard it…”Not like Bobby Bowden? But he seems like such a nice, Christian man.” I don’t buy it. I don’t like him.

And Georgia’s coach? Well…rats. I can’t not like him, which is really terrible from a football perspective. After all, not only is he the head coach at Georgia, but he used to be on the staff at FSU. Trouble is, he’s genuine, a good coach, and really represents Christ well.

Was I mad at what he had his team do on the goal line last year, stomping and jumping around? No. It was a tactic which worked well…last year.

And since we throttled them last week, it’s all good.

I say all that to explain why I’m posting this video of the Georgia coach and his family. Because it’s good. And inspirational. I hope Georgia does well for the rest of the year.

But it’s always great to play Tennessee. Neyland Stadium is beginning to be like another home game. The Gator Sports Shop should set up an outlet store there.

The best part of winning any rivalry game is to read the newspaper of the opposing school afterwards. This article is good…but the comments at the bottom of it, from loyal fans of the Stumbling Vols, are priceless.

This picture, from the Gainesville Sun, of a guy going with the Heath Ledger/Joker look…how appropriate, if not a little creepy.

Go Gators.

Loved Tim Tebow’s response. “They’re paid to stop us and Coach Mullen (offensive coordinator Dan Mullen) is paid to score. If they don’t do that, oh well.”

We see what kind of person you are, Randy.

We’re proud of her, especially since we hear that they are tightening their acceptance rate. It’s not easy to get in, like it obviously was when I went there.

Go Gators!

Shae as we wait to get in. You can see Sam sitting in the background

Sam was tired after staying up all night.

Actually, he was happy. He’s just serious about eating.

This is on the ramp on the way to our seats. Sam would make a new friend shortly after this picture.

Ashley Pounders and Shae.

From our seats, high in section 312.

The Gators on the field.

Fireworks were at eye level.

My favorite picture and memory of the whole day
