IT'S TEBOW TIME

Let me preface this piece by saying I am a HUGE Alabama fan! My love for the Crimson Tide runs deep and burns bright in my heart. When the Tide loses, I lose. When the Tide wins, I win.

Anyhow, when it become necessary for me to pull for other teams because Alabama is either not playing or already done, I have a few favorite backups. One of those is Florida. I have always enjoyed watching Florida play. When they are hitting on all cylinders, they are unstoppable. And you cannot talk about Florida without talking about Tim Tebow. He is a man among boys. He is probably one of the greatest college quarterbacks in modern football history. All that, and he still has a year of eligibility left.

However, despite all his on field achievements, one of the best aspects of his character is his accomplishments off the field. Tebow is a devoted Christian. He spend much of his free time either overseas on mission trips, speaking at prisons, or ministering to groups around Gainesville. He is a what young people need to look up at. It has been a while since athletics have given us someone with this much ability AND this much character. Kids can look up to Tebow as an athlete, person, christian, and role model.

Way to go Tebow. God bless!
