Review of “Bama Profiles in Courage: Laykin”: (Capers) Barr flexes through an emotional range that most writers would never dare attempt … Humor and Bama sorrow are fused together like twined tree trunks that keep each other standing…..It’s part satire, part character study, with a wry lens on fame, fandom, and the modern South. Well done, Capers, well done.”– Ian Allen, The Times Literary Supplement.

This is the last installment in the Florida QB Low IQ, and failure of the Spread Option in the SEC Series. And yes, I believe our WVU blogger who insists that Herban stole the Spread Option from it’s creator: Coach Rich Rodriguez.

A commenter recently wondered why all of the Tebow hate? Then another commenter compared Tebow’s cult of personality to Courageous Brady Quinn. I thought: all of you haters hearts are still way smaller than Tim Tebow’s and Brady Quinn’s courageous hearts, which are chock full of bravery, fierceness, and an indomitable spirit and will to win.

Read some of the hate:

1) Some kid being dubbed “Superman” is enough to make anybody who is a real fan of the sport Shomit. Especially when all the predictions that he wasn’t made of steel and was bound to get an injury from the pounding he was taking have come true, right on schedule. There are plenty of seniors all around the country with a lot more to their credit than Tebow who haven’t earned such an obnoxious handle.

2) Endless ESPN/CBS fellatio (e.g., “You can just FEEL his leadership in the sidelines, guys!”). Not his fault, but neither is it the fault of Notre Dame that they get endless verbal blowjobs from the media, which makes people despise them and hope to see them fail. I don’t hear any Gator fans saying to each other, “OK guys, this hero-worship stuff on the part of the ESPN crowd is getting pretty out of hand,” and until I do, I won’t take your protestations seriously.

3) The crying, the kissing other men in public and being kissed, the dismal Home schooled 890 SAT Score, and who can forget the love of Tony Joiner doing the B&E into the towing yard for the Bow’s car ….

4) Jumping around like a tool, waving his arms, acting like Chad Johnson on a meth IV every time he makes a big play or even a routine play–and never getting flagged for it, while other teams around the country get crippling personal fouls thrown on them for far, far less. So it’s not true, as is often claimed, that “all he does” is go to school, read the Bible, conduct life-saving operations on child burn victims, and play football. He also antagonizes people and gets away with it, so there’s that, too.And there you have it. Lots of players get premature media attention, and lots of players get more of it than is really within the bounds of fairness or even sanity. And lots of players taunt the other side and jump around after a big play. But nobody has all of these things in nearly the measure and combination as Tim “Superman With a Busted Ass Shoulder” Tebow.

  1. I would completely agree with this assessment. I don’t think people would be so against him if guys like Verne Lundquist would get off his jock. I mean, the CBS doubleheader two weeks from now will be UA-AU and FL-FL St. Guess which one gets the primetime spot, even though UA-AU is likely to match 2 higher ranked teams in the greatest college football rivalry? I mean, the FL-FL St. game would make more sense at the 12:30 slot b/c they are actually on EST, but no, now I have to wake up early to see an 11:30 game. I guess ole Verne just couldn’t deal with missing out on another chance to verbally fuck Tebow.

    Completely agree with the Brady Quinn comparison. Even better one – JJ Redick and ESPN/Dick Vitale. It’s not getting any better. Wait until TT doesn’t go after his junior year to the NFL. We’ll be subjected to a whole year of that story on the way to a Heisman, whether deserved or not.

  2. LMAO…

    Nice try, Jai…

    But we all know that’s you summering in Hogtown this past off season…

    You’re a closet Tebow luster aren’t you?

  3. Hi

    I enjoyed checking out your blog. I’m a recent grad in Silicon Valley, and I’ve just started a company that is mapping the blogosphere to our world. Here is an example of a blogger in Georgia who’s plugged in: http://www.verveearth.com/landing/#type=user&id=772. It can be fun to explore different localities.

    It’s an easy process to get on board, and I can be reached at clayton@verveearth.com for questions or feedback. If you resonate with the vision of painting a global canvas of voices, please give VerveEarth a mention.

    You are an idiot….hands down. People praise his toughness because its deserved…played with a broken hand, severely bruised shoulder, and broken leg (in highschool). And to show how much of an idiot you are, his lowly 890 SATs score was taken when he was in the 9th grade. He actually have a 3.7 GPA at UF. The “Kiss” was a peck on the side of Tebows face….that’s about as gay as a slap on the ass.

  5. “He actually has a 3.7 GPA at UF.”

    Business college students average GPA at UF is 3.3.

    So Tebow can’t do any better than a B+ average with the help of 24 hour tutors in the mighty major of Family, Youth and Community Sciences. Here you go, the Course Tracking page. http://www.registrar.ufl.edu/catalog/programs/majors/family.html

    This major is a joke. But college is not about preparing student athletes to be effective contributors of society, it is all about that 8 million dollar check from the BCS.
