Florida turned some heads last week when they announced the placement of a plaque on their brand new $7 million Heavener Football Complex. You see, it wasn't just any old plaque, but rather one commemorating the promise Tim Tebow made to Gator fans following their upset loss at the hands of Ole Miss last season.
Rightfully, the move has been roundly criticized -- not because Tebow isn't a gifted player, but because it's, like, too soon. Even the most Gatorest of them all is not beyond wondering what the program was thinking:
COME ON. He hasn't even left, or died, and they're putting this speech on the wall? I bleed orange and blue, and even I think this is a bit excessive. I mean, he is the most perfect human being ever born, and I'd purchase his sweaty used compression shorts to nail over my door for good luck, but for Tebow's sake, wait until he leaves to begin memorializing him.
But the internet, doing what it does best, closes the saga with poetry (background). Brilliant.

Setting themselves up for an epic fail. Teabow throws BCS game to gamblers anyone!
He can play some football but that is a little over the top.
It'll be awesome when the greatest player to ever wear blue and orange becomes a fullback in the NFL.
Vomit. A lot.
I've got admit that watching Carr and the Wolvereeenies beat up on Urban and the Gators was fun and I rooted for the Wolvereeenies that day. Tebow looked human and he also looked human against Oklahoma in the 1st half of the NC game.... Chokelahoma let him back into the game....... and I agree that he is a NFL caliber fullback at best, but the boy can back up the mouth with actions.
excuse me while i vomit all over your face.
It's not eloquent, it's not even intelligently spoken...it's whatever garbage Te-blow could gurgle from his reptilian lips to keep himself from crying. What a whiny baby...he makes me physically ill.
While I hate Florida as much as the rest of you guys, come on. He DID back up the talk with actions. I am in no way saying this plaque is right or should have been placed there already, but dont insult him for no reason.....he is a great player. awww fuck it, he can suck on brutus' nutbag. LOL
I hear Matta is working on the PJ Hill plaque.
Hope I don't get killed for this, but here it goes....As much as I hate the guy, I have to respect him. He is a great player who ruined the year 2006-2007 for me and I had to watch it all over again this year. That said I think this kid is a straight up winner and competitor and for that reason I think he will be a QB in the NFL. I don't know how good he'll be, but he's certainly going to start off that way. If anything I can see him being a TE/H-back,not a straight up full back, but I think he will put everything he has into being an NFL QB and don't be surprised if he's successful. That being said I hope UF makes a championship this year, but TP gets to Stomp all Over that stupid Gators face en route to some revenge and a NC!
How sad is the tradition of your football program when you put up a plaque of a guy who is still playing at your school. I respect Tebow and think he is a great player, but this move reeks of desperation to manufacture tradition.
This is why the University of Florida must be taken off planet earth. They idolize Tebow like he's a God or something. I mean, Teblow's good, but I'd take Troy Smith over him any day (except for that whole game 2007)
Haha troy smith over tim tebow. Seriously? you have to be a moron. If that was Tory Smith's speach you'd all be saying Smith is God. I love this. I want to touch the plaque. Give it up. This blog has a sever case of homeritis and I love pointing that fact out.
One, you spelled "severe" incorrectly, moron.
Two, it's TROY not TORY.
Three, SPEECH is not spelled like SPEACH.
Four, this blog is a BUCKEYES BLOG so of course we are looking at things through a Buckeye lense. At the same time, the guys who write this arent afraid to critique OSU either.
FIVE, I WOULD take TROY SMITH ANY DAY OVER THAT OVERRATED PIECE OF GARBAGE named Tim Tebow. We wouldn't put up a stupid plaque--most sane universities wouldn't. We dont need a stupid plaque to remember what Troy did. ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS LOOK AT THE FACES OF THE FANS OF THE MAIZE AND BLUE AND REMEMBER WHAT TROY DID TO YOU. Weak stuff, scUM. Weak stuff.
First off yall dont know jack about jakc. youd love tebows to be your QB. Better than overrated pryor. Haha youd take tory smith over teboe. what has tory done for you other than lose two national championships. what has tebow done other than win two of them. good decision and wise choice
Is this guy for real?
Check out my response to your nonsense on the last topic.
Its obvious GoBlow has taken time off from eating his boogers to come on our blog and pathetically try and harass Buckeye fans.
I would suggest ignoring this fuckstick, I will.
Who's Tory Smith?
I'll ignore him in a second. Perhaps he's just bitter that Michigan lost....AGAIN....to Ohio State. Tebow has LED UF to ONE title, dude. He was a freshman and did barely anything in 2006-07. Also, Troy Smith didnt lose two titles asswipe. He lost one, mainly due to his piss poor offensive line that had cheeseburgers so far up their ass that they couldn't move left or right. Troy Smith has been nothing but a class act and truly nice guy. Just because he made your university look like the joke that it is.
And why the hell are you bringing up Pryor? He has nothing to do with this conversation other than the fact that he will be better than Tebow when he's at that age. Fucking Michigan.
Fuck Michigan....fuck yo momma. Theres three things I hate in this world and thats obama, obama, and yo momma. Yes Iball was right on that one I was just fucking with ya. SEC SEC SEC!
Calibuck: I agree with you. Tebow, for the most part is actually a classy guy who is a pure winner and actually wants to compete. Sometimes, it looked like our guys couldnt care less. SOMETIMES. That Texas game was a nice change.
BUT...what I have an issue wih is the entire Gators football team and fanbase. Basically, I want to stand on a mountain and yell, "Fuck the Gator Nation." They are the most smug, rude and obnoxious fans i think I've ever seen. I mean, they rival Michigan for teams I hate. (prob tie for #1). They play with no class (watch Branden Spikes--it's like watching a prison brawl). They run up the score intentionally yet all of the dumbfucks at ESPN just gah over how great the Gators are (but when OSU scores one more TD on NW, we get hammered for being an evil team). Florida exudes an arrogance that they frankly cant back up. In my eyes, they are a second tier program with LITTLE history or tradition. Despite recent succes, they will go back to the gutter like before and be the three star program they've always been.
Way to articulate an argument like an adult. SEC? Dude, your team is in the Big Ten. Get over it. BTW, the SEC is a conference not a team. So by chanting SEC, it's kind of stupid considering the SEC doesnt win championships--the universities do.
First of all, Tim Tebow didn't win the championship for Florida his freshman year, Chris Leak and the Defense won that game. On top of the Tebow's best season was his sophomore season where is team was awful and Michigan killed them in the bowl game. He was quite a leader in that game too.
Last year, he was very good down the stretch and in big games, but that team was drastically different with out Percy Harvin, and Percy Harvin was the true MVP of the championship game even if he didn't get the hardware. Tebow is a great player, but he's not the greatest football player ever to step foot on a division one field. I hate how ESPN says he's the greatest player ever so then he must be. We'll see how well he does this year when he doesn't have Harvin to bail them out of tough spots or get a 60 yard gain on 3rd and 15.
Agreed on that point Brian. Meanwhile, all I have to do is point to the game film from Nerdwestern when Pryor made like 8 jukes, 3 defendes with broken ankles, the toughest throw known to man, into double coverage, for a HUGE TD. And that was from a freshman.....guess what scUM fucks, he has had 8 months to polish that already in-human ability. Is it November yet?!?!?!??!
Guy-Blow-
How bad is your team when you have to not only root for another team, be on your rivals blog for a taste of what it's like to win, but also represent an ENTIRE CONFERENCE.....I raise this glass of Maker's Mark to you scUM. I truly hope that you worked for GM sir.
All I know is the SEC just terrorizes that ass of yours so that why I chant SEC SEC SEC. Its funny how I don't try to make a point yet I can get a respone by simply typing three letters S............E................C
My names not guy-blow it's Shilo
And what Do Texas and USC do to you all every year in bowl games along with Ohio State in the regular season? That's what I thought!
I do realize Texas beat OSU this year in a bowl, but at least we were competitive
Brian, at least we made a bowl let alone a BCS bowl. Suck on that scUM
Suck on SEC SEC
You should really worry more about topping three wins this year and how many more players your beeftard backwater coach is going to run off. Oh and try beating OSU once this decade before spouting off on an OSU board. Telling you have to trot out the SEC knock because you have nothing to be proud of in Ann Arbor.
We have beaten OSU this decade wise guy. So suck on them marbles....
Oh I forgot SEC
Once. Once. Once.
Go Blue
We'll see how good Terrelle Pryor does come his career end-then you can call him over rated...you say we'd love Tebow as our QB and damn straight any team would want a 2X National Champ and Heisman winner who stays 4 year....but you guys can't lie and say you don't want Pryor...especially over that crap you have
LOL I can at least laugh at that.....good stuff
Hell ya we would take pryor. He fits better in Rich Rods system than he does in Tressel's, in my opinion, but we'll see if he can develope a passing game and if he does more power to him for choosing OSU over UM. I just don't see a pro style quarterback in him. Just like I never saw one in Vince Young. Only the future can make me think otherwise.
No doubt....in fact, RitaRod got had a black eye to explain when Pryor chose THE Ohio State over michiscUM.......
haha
nothing wrong with VY....Troy was a kick returner to start his career and his arm developed pretty nicely so we'll see what happens...not saying he's a pro (VY ain't helpin), but if Terrelle is Vince Young I think Tress will have a ring or two on his finger before it's all said and done
I wasn't trashing Ohio State. I was saying Texas destroyed Michigan 2 times bowl games. It was trashing Michigan
...and we appreciate that
Why don't people realize that when Florida loses, it is almost entirely Tebows fault, either a dumb turnover or bad reads.
Not gonna disagree but unfortunately Florida hasn't lost too often the last 3 years
I know, it was meant as an insult to that Michigan moron. My bad lol!
The bigger problem is that it's not a particularly inspiring quote. It sounds like something that he blathered about at a press conference once, and that's it. If it was a "Give me liberty or give me death" kind of quote, then sure, but this is lame as hell.
that's GAYtor alright. puke!!
I can barely contain my laughter after hearing UF Alum Rep. Corrine Brown "congradulate" the UF team. Wow. I thought that this UM douchbag makes Florida look bad but man she does more than a good job at that. If it weren't for Erin Andrews the whole university could burn in hell for what its worth.
By the way this quote is ridiculous. Do you think that they post a picture of Tebow walking on water during the second coming?
Anyway, PRYOR is as good as the say he is and so is Nick Sheridan. Haha ha GOOD LUCK scUM.
I don't know if I've ever looked forward to a guy being a professional washout more than Tim Tebow.
IMO, Corrine Brown's congressional address should be put on a plaque along side Tebow's plaque. Ms. Brown and her constituents should be thoroughly embarassed by her comments but they might be too dumb to realize it.
If Florida would have come up short in the NC game, would they have placed his quote or better yet his face in the bottom of all the urinals?
