RETURN OF THE KING

Wow. I drove by this car on the way back to gainesville yesterday.

USC ’05 right down to Texas coming through and taking the title away.

Nice ride, Thom Brennaman.

He could finish as the greatest college QB ever, and yet he just guaranteed that every Florida game next year will be unwatchable unless the sound is on mute.

I love college football, hell I watch the Tuesday night games, and I love that Tim Tebow is in college football, but the man-love the announcers are going to feed us will be so over the top I can’t even imagine.

Wow, then I guess Tebow needs to sign that Restraining Order against Thom then……

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in……..

Its ok Timmay, we be ready for you in the SEC Championship this time, as long as there are no Samoans on your team…..I promise we will be able to defend the spread, this time…..I can’t believe you are gonna let Mel Kiper psyche ya out like that…..
DETROIT NEEDS YOU, PLEASE RECONSIDER

So,

Did anyone notice that during the post game interview of Harvin by Chris Meyers, when asked about Tebow, Harvin said “….Tebow just being Tebow…” and IMMEDIATELY they cut to a shot of Tebow walking with a bunch of photographers and two Jail Baits (Urb’s daughters) under his arms.

Fox may not know what down it is, but their producers nailed that one.

After addressing the crowd and walking to the edge of the stage, he turned around and said, “Oh and by the way, one more thing, let’s do it again. I’m coming back!”

Rolls eyes

Can we safely conclude that he’s just a little bit of a drama queen?

North 2 – interesting comment. What exactly did the producers nail?

I take it from your comment, you are speaking from personal experience. I would daresay that you were able to discern something that the rest of us never saw nor thought of.

Kudos – “Good catch.”

North 2 -

I forgot to add – just in case someone like you didn’t catch it -

[heavy sarcasm]

Hmmm…I guess you’ll be coming to Red Stick, Orson? If’n you are, should I start collecting cell phones for you to batter and fry, or does it have to be your cell phone? Assuming you make the trip, we’ll be happy to host you at our tailgate. Should start some time around Thursday night and go until the vet school calls campus police on us Monday morning…or the bourbon runs out, but that’s never happened.

Are scientists looking into a way for humans to hibernate from mid-January to mid-August? I’d buy some of that stock. I hate the offseason.

Tebow spelled backwards is Wo-bet……
Whoa! Bet! is that some subliminal message saying that Florida can cover any spread with Tebow as QB?

Is it possible for any man to have 3 National Championship rings? and 2 freakin He15mans?

Orson, if you’re going to Baton Rouge, I’m going to find a way.

“I have a raging Tebowner!”

-Sign held by girl on JumboTron at BCS title game.

I can smell the corn dogs right now…..

Tebow is bask.

“Gulp” (the rest of the college football world).

Seriously, this is sort of like when Lienart and Bush came back to USC. But, there is really no Vince Young-led Texas equivalent to fuck things up for Florida next year, at least not yet.

This really sucks for everyone else, but it shold be interesting to see if they can do it and make it 3 out of 4. Of course on paper, it’s a foregone conclusion, but I can’t wait to see it play out.

bask = back, duh.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Timmy in Red Stick with that fearsome def…..err…never mind.

I dunno. The Chief might firm up that D some, but Lesty and the kitties will have a hatful of work.

Ironiclly enough, just like with USC in 2005, Texas would seem to the most likely prospective victim in Pasadena. This time, however, they ain’t looking so good.

Orson, I look forward to seeing Timmy face another set of daunting SEC defenses, but I am afraid he may find statistically his chances of getting hurt will increase…unless he learns to throw a pass like Bradford

Even big boys get hurt in this game… and big boys with a target on their backs?…. well, that’s just fame calling to ya mr cornerback!!!

“we be ready for you in the SEC Championship this time’

AHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahahahahahaha

…

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I was just expressing to a friend and fellow UF alumnus today that i’m beginning to fret over the possibility that Florida’s embarrassment of riches will have the rest of the country hating us like I hate Notre Dame football and Duke basketball. Will someone who didn’t go to Florida chime in? Is Tebow the new Laettner? Can anyone else be thought of as that much of a tool? I suppose the difference is that Tebow does good things off the field and Laettner had friends hide in his closet to watch him hook up with drunken coeds. I digress. I’m sure that was just a terrible rumor started by a UNC alum.

Yes, there is a Tebow backlash brewing. I watched the NC game and as the announcers were both jerking off to Tebow I turned to my friend and said, “So this is why people hate Notre Dame, huh?” The media will make a lot of non gator fans hate Tebow…

PDXgonegator / 21: I hate ND because its play sucks, its coach is a prick, it won’t join a conference, it has a special TV contract, and it has a special BCS clause. ND has been irrelevant for years, yet its fans seem to think all this special treatment is justified. What has it done for college football lately?

If Florida were to go years without another bowl win or SEC championship, and the Florida-fellating never diminished, then you might want to worry. If Florida were to become an Oklahoma or tOSU—failing to win in the big, nationally-televised games (BCS-caliber), yet always taking a spot from a team arguably more deserving—then you might want to worry.

For God’s sake (Mandatory EDSBS edit: for Tebow’s sake), pull your fucking heads out of the sand, you pathetic bunch of homers. Most of the rest of the civilized world already hates Tebow and the gators. Hell, even foreskinless third-world children hate him, and curse his name every time the cold winds blow up their tattered rags and further shrivel their hatless genitalia.

This site used to be tolerable until so many of you SEC fucks lost your sense of irony. In this, you are NO BETTER than the shameless media whores you used to mock. Strange bedfellows indeed.

Is he human, or is he dancer?

Are they Killers, or are they vapid?

PDXgonegator,

Laettner was a cunt. It’s not Tebow’s fault that he’s getting verbal blow jobs from the media. The incessant praise is ridiculously over the top, but he definitely deserves to be praised.

Laettner had a haughtiness that is lacking in Tebow. I hated David Pollack, but can’t work myself into Tebow hate.

Hey Sherlock, another Gator legend had a saying that you might want to think about- if they like you, it’s probably because they’re beating you. The whole country ought to hate UF, and that’s just fine. Nobody hates UF basketball right now, mainly because they suck. 2 years ago, different story.

Also, you use this word “irony”, but I’m pretty sure that word doesn’t mean what you think it means.

awesome.
Thanks for the perspective, people.
I sorta think that for Tebow’s senior year, he could generate some interesting discussion by referencing progressively more obscure Bible passages in his face paint, not just the “greatest hits.” Something really fucked up from Leviticus…I dunno…it could go over huge in the SEC

You know Sherlock, and I presume to speak for the Gator Nation as a whole, we don’t give a rat’s ass whether you or the rest of your envious ilk hate TT. He’s our’s. We love him. And he’s coming back.

He’s our Terminator. He’s going to drive his freaking pickup through your glass doors and spray your stinking football team with his M-60 and enthusiastically shouting, “I’m Bach!”

So, Sherlock, and I say this with all the respect due morons like you, “Kiss our scaly Gator butts!”

No, dago gator, I’m using the word in its most acute sense. The fact that you quote a “gator legend” to such stupendous non-sequitir effect makes my point rather nicely.

PDXgonegator @29 – Might I suggest Ezekiel 23:20? For my money, the best verse in all the Bible:

“There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.”

Solid stuff.

“Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own”—Jonathan Swift

Sherlock,

I’m not sure when EDSBS and it’s readers stopped mocking the media. Mostly because I haven’t seen a reduction of that nature.

Second, this is a blog dedicated to the Gators and, to a lesser extent, SEC fandom. I don’t think it’s really outlandish to see people praise a particular player when all he’s done is perform at a high level for three years and be, on a consistent basis, one of the best players in college football.

Third, if the site is so distasteful to you, why are you here? Didn’t you expect the same thing that disturbed you? Why, in one of the greatest moments in the program, did you expect homerism to go backwards?

Lastly, I know from personal experience, being the voice of the troll (whether intentional or not) really won’t convince anyone. Besides, why rain on other people’s parade? Good times are here again, let us partake. Every school sooner or later has a moment in the sun. Don’t harsh the mellow, dude.

The downside to the Tebow-nerism in the media is that Percy Harvin is NOT getting praised enough for his contribution to two MNC’s. He almost went to USC. With him in the line up, they probably have two more MNC’s in the bag. He’s a program changer.

I for one look forward to Tebow and the rest of the Gators assuming the position for the August – December rusty trombone from espn et al. Should be a welcome change of pace.

In the first 11 days of January, UF football fans enjoyed the news of the following circumstances:

Percy healthy enough to play in title game
Bostic, Nixon, DeBose all commit to UF for ’09
Morenofford will forego UGa eligibility
Bowden will return for free tapioca pudding and figurehead status at FSU
UF wins BCS title
Tebow announces he will return for his senior season

Has UF football ever witnessed a stretch of good news like this before?

@19
Again with the “but he doesn’t throw a purty ball” angle?

And calling him out " ‘cause (your particular LB / DT of choice) is a’gonna take ’im down!"

That tune is so played out.

…speaking of fun bible verses for Tebow’s Eye Black next season….how about Ezekiel 25:17 (which would have been perfect for this past season’s Halloween Weekend Massacre)

“I will carry out great vengeance on them and punish them in my wrath. Then they will know that I am TEBOW, when I take vengeance on them.”

…by the way, the Pulp Fiction version, isn’t even in the Bible…

@PDX — three Gator-tolerant friends of mine made the comment that if the Gators were to pull off the win in the championship game, they would start hating them because they win too much — along the lines of hating USC or hating the Yankees (well, that among other reasons for hating the Yankees, hah).

#35,

Just because Uncle Verne, Danielson, Musberger, Corso, et al, aren’t performing verbal fellatio on Harvin doesn’t mean he’s underappreciated. His teammates go out of the way to praise him at every public opportunity, the Gator websites that are bit less hip and more “serious” (whatever that means – other than profanity not being allowed of course) laud him as much, if not more, than Tebow, and every Gator fan I’ve talked to compared his effort in the Oklahoma game to that of Willis Reed against the Lakers in the early 70’s. (I forget the year, but you know what I’m talking about.) If it seems like there’s less of a concerted effort to try and convince him to stay, it’s only because most of us have pretty much assumed that it was a given he’s go pro after his junior season since the minute we saw him set foot on campus. Ditto for Brandon Spikes on the defensive side of the ball.

Sherlock, I don’t know how to break this to you, but um, you said that everyone hated UF, and I followed that statement with one that said if they don’t hate you, they’re beating you (which, obviously, they aren’t right now). So it’s actually the exact opposite of a “non-sequitur”, more of a “sequitur” if you will. Might I suggest Spanish or French for your next try? Perhaps “je ne sais quoi” or “Feliz Navidad” will work out a little better.

Sorry, but it is in fact gay if it is with Tebow. Unless of course you have a vagina, then that would not be considered gay.

I still cant bring myself to hate Tebow, then again my team beat him in a bowl game the same year of the App State horror.

Southern Conference Speed > SEC Speed

@44: The heisman curse is a bitch.

For the LSU game the eyeblack underneath the right eye should read ‘Joel’ and under the left eye ‘1:5’

“Wake up, you drunkards, and weep!
 Wail, all you drinkers of wine;
 wail because of the new wine,
 for it has been snatched from your lips. "

F*CK Christian Laettner!

I try to remind myself that it’s not Timmy’s fault that he is so praised in the media but it doesn’t really help.

Hearing “Tebow”, at least for me, is now on par with stories last year relating to Brett Favre’s retirement and my fellow Bama fans’ relentless use of the phrase “Saban’s recruits” to explain LSU’s success under Miles. Yeah, it’s that bad.

It actually reached it’s zenith with me when Tebow gator chomped for 15 yards and the asshole announcer actually stated that it was the first bad thing that Tebow had probably ever done. I wanted to vomit.

And yes, I’m biased, as he ripped my heart out in Atlanta.

However, the bright side to him coming back is that now, maybe I can see him come out on the wrong end of a hit. I don’t mean hurt, just a big hit where he actually moves backwards. Haven’t seen it in 3 years, though. I can still dream.

In a word, boo-fucking-yeah!*

*losing sense of irony is fun.

Chas,

Never claimed Gator players and fans underappreciate him. How could they? But around the country (i.e. outside Gator message boards) impressions of your team are formed by the MSM coverage of your team. In that regard, Harvin is not getting nearly enough credit. And by no means am I implying that Tebow does not deserve a ton of credit for the job he did, and for being true to himself.

Ahhh, my picture gets some play again! Truly never gets old…

And teh Freekery is scarily spot-on. Those expressions of pure unbridled joy mirror mine and those of all around me when Timmy made his announcement. And yes, as TJ said, there were tears. “We back, baby!” has now been replaced by “I’m coming back!” {Gators fainting and screaming a la Freek’s vid, our opponents brokenly weeping and cursing}

First time commenting since Thursday, so just wanted to say Orson, you are one lucky sonofabitch – media swag and all! Though I also count myself as lucky to have found my section 156 row 9 seat 3 ticket for $570 a few hours before gametime.

My only sadness is that I just graduated and therefore will most likely not be there for near every game next season on the march to Pasadena. Quite the predicament to have though, eh? As they say, it’s goddamn great to be a Florida Gator.
