For S's and G's
1. Urban Meyer is aiming for his first national title

It was Chris Leak's team, yes, but if Tebow in his backup role doesn't run for that famous first down on fourth-and-1 against Tennessee in 2006, the Gators would have finished without a national championship.

2. The SEC's reputation wouldn't be as strong

Either Ohio State or Michigan would have been a national champion in 2006 because of the Gator-less BCS title picture. The Big Ten wouldn't be the same perceived cupcake because OSU would have one embarrassing loss to an SEC team in a national title game instead of two.

3. Mike Shula would still be Alabama's coach

Tebow would have been the Tide's starting quarterback as a freshman. With the Tide coach coming off a Cotton Bowl win, he would have avoided that 6-7 season in 2006 that got him fired.

4. Nick Saban never goes to Alabama

Saban sticks it out with the NFL's Miami Dolphins and avoids what became a 1-15 season in 2007, or he jumps back into the college game at . . . Michigan to replace Lloyd Carr, who retires gracefully.

5. Lane Kiffin isn't coach at Tennessee

The ex-Oakland Raiders coach becomes Washington's coach instead of being introduced by Tennessee to replace Phil Fulmer. And instead of going to Michigan in 2007, West Virginia's Rich Rodriguez gets the Volunteers job and avoids the messy divorce with the Mountaineers.

6. Tebow doesn't have a Heisman . . . yet

Alabama builds its offense around his talents, but he doesn't put up the numbers he did in Meyer's spread offense to become the first sophomore in history to win the award. But after leading the 2008 Tide to a 12-0 record and an SEC West crown, he's a serious Heisman contender as a junior.

7. Jevon Snead is a Gators star

Snead would flourish as the second-year starter in Meyer's offense instead of going to Texas and transferring to Ole Miss. Snead was Plan B if Tebow had gone to 'Bama. Instead of playing for the Rebels, Snead would be preparing for Alabama's defense this week with a chance to solidify Heisman hopes.

8. The Gators would be undefeated

With the savvy Snead not a Rebel, Ole Miss wouldn't have left The Swamp as a one-point winner in September. Though like Alabama, the Gators would squeak through the rest of the SEC schedule, barely unscathed. Without Tebow, there was no impassioned postgame speech and less motivation for blowouts.

9. Alabama isn't a 10-point underdog

Vegas odds opened this week with the Gators as double-digit favorites, but 'Bama might dominate the spreads with Tebow under center.

10. Saturday's game isn't as good

Reality is so much better. Saban vs. Meyer is more intriguing. And, 'Bama might not have had the same tough identity and swagger on defense they carry into every stadium these days.

OK, not exactly the time to tell all of you....I told you so the day he signed!

I saw the Heisman all the way and the NC too. Any other info you need just ask. :wink:
 
I was never dumb enough to think he was coming here :wink:

One of many huge mistakes by Shula :roll:
 
It's an incredibly huge stretch to say we'd be 12-0 right now with Tebow. Yes, we'd still have Shula, and with it all of the lack of discipline, lack of worth ethic, and lack of team cohesiveness. We also may not have Julio, McClain, and others. We'll never know which recruits we would have gotten anyway. The turnaround that had to happen during Indy Bowl practice probably doesn't happen. Disrespect for Shula would have continued to grow like a cancer.
 
Shula STILL gets canned even with Tebow. Shula was stupid...period.

Talent can only get you so far...you still need a coach to coach it.

Look at all the Shula players who couldn't do ANYTHING and now they're STARS under Nick Saban.

Simply put, Bama would have Tebow...and Shula would have STILL BEEN FIRED! Tim Tebow would have not saved Mike Shula. The future for Shula was inevitable. Shula would have RUINED Tebow!!

Tebow coming to Alabama while Shula was still the coach, would have been the BIGGEST mistake of his life.

Tebow or no Tebow, Mike Shula would have been fired.

The man can't coach...

"I was probably wanting to be too perfect," he said. "I like everything perfect. I wanted to have a perfect season so badly I probably was forcing it a little too much. After a few games, I just started to relax and play, just go out there and have fun and be myself."

"I thought overall I had a better year as far as handling the offense and managing and just being a quarterback and leading my team to victories," Tebow said. "I think the best way to judge it is by our win-loss column, and I think that was my No.1 focus, getting us to the SEC championship. And being there, it means a lot. But we still have one more game to go."




I guess he doesen't have any teammates. This attitude is exactly why he will get his ass handed to him Saturday. Good luck, Timmy.
 
We would have had a "Homo" QB running around campus in Superman tights licking guys on the teams faces and signing autograghs for our children. Now that would be disturbing! :lol:

Are you kidding? If you are going to base your opinion of Tim Tebow by that one quote than you either live in a cave or haven't watched any college football over the last 3 years. Tim Tebow always gives credit to his teammates around him. He is a total team player. If making uneducated quips like that makes you feel better about yourself then knock yourself out, but I'm telling you that you are wrong. His attitude is the reason that the Gators are where they are right now and precisely the reason that he won't "get his ass handed to him Saturday."

Chill out percy. But I agree with everything you said. Btw, I like your Tampon Tebow picture in your sig.

I like to think of it as Blood-stained Warrior Tebow but whatever floats your boat.
 
Sorry, this is getting off topic,but...

He will get it handed to him. A "Team" player ALWAYS mentions his teammates FIRST. It's not what "I" have done and how hard "I've" worked, etc, etc. It may just be one quote, but to me it speaks volumes.
The red paint from the field all over Tebow is cute too. It ranks right up there with the Texas Tech guy who went crazy in his mother's vanity before the games. I guess that is supposed to portray him as a warrior. I'm impressed.

I never thought I'd see the day where Tim Tebow is compared to a tampon. Leave it to you psychotic Bama fans
The picture speaks for itself, no help was needed from me. Sorry to offend you, don't go off and cry like Tebow.

LSU Post-game
Junior QB Tim Tebow:

On the game: “It was a great win for us. We knew it was a big game coming in. LSU is a very good team. We wanted to start strong and we did that. They rallied back and made it a game, but we responded with maturity and took over at the end.”

On the success running the ball: “This game we had to pass to set up the run. Usually we run to set up the pass. It was a great job by all our guys, especially our little backs who came in and ran well.”

Vanderbilt Post-game
Junior QB Tim Tebow:

On being aggressive running the ball tonight:
"We're just trying to get to Atlanta for the SEC Championship game. We came out with some option keeps and our offense just tried to make the most out of every play."

On winning the SEC East:
"It's definitely exciting, but we're just going to take one game at a time from here on out."

Is that the best the offense has looked all year?
"It was pretty good first half. We came out and executed early and our defense came up with some big stops. We were able to manage our offensive drives well and we were able to put some points on the board so overall I think we had a good half."

On Penn State losing:
"We're just focusing on our team winning and if we take care of ourselves that things will fall into place. Who knows what is going to happen. Making it to Atlanta for the SEC championship was one of our goals at the beginning of the season but our goal is to take care of business every Saturday."

Kentucky Post-game

Junior QB Tim Tebow:

On throwing the deep ball:
"We have worked a lot on that in practice and when you have great receivers you can put the ball out there for them to make a play. It really isn't hard for me to put the deep ball out. Coach was very aggressive all day making calls."

On being tied for 1st in the SEC East:
"It feels good, real good to be in control. We have to go out and play hard to get to Atlanta. Today was a great day for Florida. I'm excited."


Would you like me to look up some more transcripts from Tebow's interviews? I can if you really don't believe that he's a team player. Personally I just think that you are stubborn and don't want to accept that what you wrote is completely wrong. And for you to compare getting covered in endzone paint while diving for a touchdown to Texas Tech's player applying face paint before a game also just further speaks volumes about your ignorance.
