There used to be a guy named Tommie Frazier, QB at Nebraska, that was a million times more awesome than Tebow. If his career hadn’t been cut short by blood clots, you could make a case that he could have been regarded as the greatest college QB ever

There have been plenty of other QBs that have had better ratings than Timmy T, but I don’t think there have been many all around better players in the sport. I hated the guy at the beginning of his career because Alabama was at the top of his list of schools to attend but the inept Mike Shula let him get away.

Then, last year, in the SEC championship game, with Bama coming in ranked number one and Florida number two, I watched my team get beat not by skill or an entire team (yea, they played a part) but by the sheer determination of Tim Tebow. I was pissed that my team lost, but in awe of how one guy picked up an entire team in the fourth quarter and carried them down the field to victory. A lot of QBS have had some great come from behind fourth quarter heroics, but I had never seen it done with such determination.

Yeah, see, that’s a perfectly reasonable thing to say. I’m hearing other people say, essentially, “I hate Tebow, I hope he drops dead.” – and that’s cleaning it up because this is a family website

Charlie Ward was a better college QB than Tim Tebow.

I never really followed Tebow. I know he’s a “big deal” and is a standout player. The other day some people were talking football and they just HATED the guy. I mean, they were being really cruel. I was taken aback. Sure, hating on your rivals is part of the whole thing but, wow, this was downright unbecoming.

Wow, Mat. I never knew. I, too, am a huge sports fan. College football is my main poison of choice. After all, I grew up in Alabama where we have two top tier SEC teams and football is a religion. I attended the University of Alabama (Roll Tide) where Bobby has always been a huge icon. He was born here in Birmingham and only played briefly for the Crimson Tide, but we have always considered him a Bama boy.

Jimbo Fisher is a good coach, he was interviewed a few years ago for Bama’s little sister school UAB but the powers that be (a.k.a. the trustees) didn’t want him because they were afraid he would overshadow the then ailing Bama program and there were some folks that plain didn’t like him ’cause he coached at Auburn. I do doubt that Jimbo will be at FSU for more than three years. He has a huge shadow that will always hang over him and all the coaches that will come after. Bama went through the same thing after the Bear retired. It has taken nearly thirty years for the ghost of the Bear to slowly dissipate and a New Coach be accepted.

One last thing, if all goes well, perhaps Bama can put a little smack-down on the Florida team, that put such a whipping on your Seminoles, this Saturday in the SEC Championship. Give them a bit of payback for ya’. Tim Tebow be damned!— Not really, you cant help but like that guy. He is after all Superman.

I’ve come to enjoy these non-horror posts, I think we have some unique voices here on our site. I’d welcome the other guys doing similar pieces from time to time. Of course, Steve’s would be something like, “What The Original Red Ranger Means To Me” but it would still be a good read, I’m sure.
