Go Gators!

How 'bout them Gators!!! Two National Championships in three years...and...on top of that...it was a very exciting game. Big plays...blown plays...and, in my opinion, the confirmation that Tim Tebow is the best football player in the county. Did he have the best passing stats....no. Did he rush for more yards than anyone else...no. Did he show the kind of leadership ability, character, and physical skills that should determine the Heisman Trophy winner....absolutely!. It is still beyond my comprehension how 156 so called followers of college football could have left him off of their Heisman ballot...unless...this supposedly pure and ethical system of selecting the most outstanding football player of the year...has, like most everything else, become so politicized that the real qualifications for the award get lost in the biases of "homers" who could just not stomach someone like Tebow...a quality person as well as a quality football player...winning the award two years in a row. Oh well...it is just a shame...but, I guess quality wills out in the big game when no one could dispute that in the fourth and most important quarter the Gators controlled the ball for over ten minutes mainly on the will and skill of one Tim Tebow. Good for you Tim! Show class...share the spotlight with your much deserving teammates...and enjoy the moment...it will never be taken away.
