TEBOW GETS ELBOW IN PILEUP FRACAS
For those combing through their respective bowl games frame-by-frame, there’s always little tidbits of joy you missed. A gnarly block; a particularly amusing expression on a play; or even a USC Song Girl’s bare ass on television for a blink’s worth of softcore cheesecake.
(Nothing in this category beats what we spied in the stands during the NFL playoffs this weekend: a drunk blonde woman in New Orleans who, for a full five wondrous seconds, showed off her “FUCK DA EAGLES” t-shirt center frame before Fox hurriedly switched shots. Which they most certainly did not show on purpose. Rememember: Fox hates you, which is why they’re debuting Ow! My Balls! on Thursday night. You can’t–and won’t–miss it.)
One of those nuggets for Gator fans has been this moment of delight, where we find out that any and all guilt associated with giving Ohio State a grievous and overdone death roll on national television evaporates in the viewing of a single gesture. Watch #55 Curtis Terry at the end of the play here. He should be easy to find– he’s the one elbowing Tebow in the head.
There’s a Zapruder style and sadly unembeddable copy here. The incident illustrates just how off OSU’s scouting reports on the Gators were, since scientists concur that blunt force trauma only makes Tim Tebow stronger and larger–as Andy James Lauranaitis, the BEST LINEBACKER IN THE WORLD1111 found out in the same game.
Curiously enough, an angry Tim Tebow also emits pheramones that smell of cinnamon buns to his friends, and of burning metal, cordite, and sorrow to his enemies.
Mmm…cinnamon buns.

Does anyone have video of Wynn’s touchdown plunge? After he mows over a OSU defender and crosses the goal line, the OSU player clearly gooses him (or maybe gives Wynn the shocker)… it’s like a quick jab to the cup. It’s clear on FOX’s reverse angle replay.
I was shocked to see OSU play like FSU/Miami thugs that night. The face mask on the Gators first kickoff return, the egregious late hit on their second return… and plenty of other “little” stuff. It seemed like the OSU players were coached to do that… as if to get UF out its game by getting into their head. Thankfully, UF players are better coached than Reggie Ball and were able to keep their cool.

Man, I don’t like seeing Tebow run on OSU but you can’t say the guy is a moron or a jerk. I know that there are always those fluff pieces about players before the big games but the Columbus Dispatch did a nice piece about Tebow and him not fitting the typical mold of a**hole player with a huge ego:
(http://www.buckeyextra.com/shared/slideshow/slideshow-wrapnoad.php?story=dispatch/2007/01/05/20070105-F1-04.html)
Everyone just loves to hate the guy because he’s so hyped.
Curtis Terry should be suspended for a game or two for that crap. I still get embarrased for what Reynolds did to Jim Sorgi in 2003 and Tressel does not coach that crap.
I don’t think Tebow ran over Laurinitis but that’s my opinion. He obviously brole a tackle but I thought he was going to run square over him. It’s almost worse as Laurinitis couldn’t get square in front of him.
FLA chomped and OSU didn’t show to play.

Florida was the better team but if you want to talk about “staying classy”? How about winning with class? I mean really, you have nothing else to do when celebrating the victory than disrespecting the losing team. OSU lost to the better team THAT DAY. I hope OSU gets to play Florida again.
You say Stay Classy and then you call the OSU championship over Miami a “victory” because of pass interference?
You know what pass interference is? When the ref throws the yellow flag, that is pass interference.
You want to stay classy? Consider not booing your National Championship quarterback for 4 years.

ROLL BAMA, please shut up and quit embarrassing us.
Were you at the airport? I know you were — admit it. You’ve got one of those “got nick?” shirts, too, don’t you?

True Cool Hand Mike, but he was a consideration only after Tebow spurned Bama after a brief flirtation……
And, the other Mike is right…..had a guy on my H.S. football team put straight pins in this thigh pads for use at the bottom of the pile. That, and, of course, the inevitable nut-wrenching are reasons I played linebacker instead of fullback…….

Correction: Bama did get a QB last year, Greg McElroy.
He’s not as high profile as Tebow yet he set several major passing records in Texas.

The Bammer’s cup of bitterness doth overflow.

I’d get angry and all, but then I think back to high school, and remember what the pile was like. Honestly, a few whacks with an elbow aren’t that bad. The stomp was a little worse, but it wasn’t that much of a stomp, and Tebow caught it to some degree. Plus, none of it had much effect on him, so I wouldn’t get too worked up about it.
Oh, and to whoever said it: this is nowhere near the Haynesworth stomp. Haynesworth deliberately slashed a man’s unprotected face with his football cleats. Tebow picked up a few whacks at the bottom of the pile. Such is football, at any level.
