Kudos to Tim and Gator Baseball! Gators swept LSU this week to win the NCAA Championship.
Whether Mr. Tebow advances in Baseball or not, he continues to have options most of us can only dream about.
Beginning of 3rd grade, I moved into Family Housing on the UF Campus. The Gators had a pass-oriented QB named Steve Spurrier. My older brother, a 10th grader, played as a defensive back that year at Gainesville High School.
I bleed Orange and Blue, through the good times and the tough times. I can remember, probably 1979, Coach Charlie Pell leading the Gators to a 0 - 10 - 1 Season. You could spot me at every home game in the student section. If you looked really close you might spot a joint in my right hand. If you couldn't see it, you might smell it. If you took a sip of my coke, you knew I had doctored it up. I always lost my voice before the end of the game from cheering. I had thousands of students surrounding me who always had my back.
Until Spurrier came aboard as Head Coach in 1990, Gators had never won an SEC Football Championship. Spurrier molded Wuerfel into a Champion QB. Coach Urban molded Tebow into a Champion QB.
We Gators love our heroes! Count Tebow among them. We have had our villains too: the late Aaron Hernandez. Some of you might remember a basketball player, Vernon Maxwell... whose testimony put the Gator basketball program on severe probation.
After decades of wondering and observing, I have determined God favors the Gators. Tebow has a reputation for fervently loving all things God.
