I can tell you why so many people who aren't Gator fans don't like him -- one of the reasons, at least. He comes across as disingenuous. He wears his religion on his sleeve (well, more accurately, on his eyeblack stickers) then makes a show out of calling attention to himself with his fist-pumping and screaming, and taunting opponents. It's very, very hard for me to like a player like that.

What he said.

That's not at all the case. He does that little Gator chomp thing at opponents frequently. Got called for an unsportsmanlike penalty in the last minute or so of the game tonight for doing it, in fact.

He is 21 years old and him and Nic Harris were jawing all night. Obviously, OU made some comments before the game to the media and even during pre-game warmups. If you are going to knock a guy for doing a Gator chomp towards an opponent, well, that's up to you. But, seriously, that is probably the worst thing he has ever done....

Trash talking is part of the game. So because he wears his religion on his sleeve the guy is hard to like? You shouldn't like many football players if his fist pumping antics get to you.

Do you think Tebow would be as revered if he was yelling, how he loves Allayh (sp).

I just think it has a lot to do with his being Christian. If he were Jewish, trust me, the love in Gville would not be the same. If you think so, than my guess is you have not spent much time outside of the Pacific NW.

LOL, I love the 3 possible scenarios. You've clearly given my screen name some serious thought, impressive.

Would it kill you though if I kept you in suspense?

I want you to be able to sleep tonight, so just let me know..

Someone has never been to Gainesville. A lot of Jewish people attend Florida. Heck, there is a huge Jewish center right across the street from the Swamp.

LOL

Is this a joke? You ever been to the Pacific NW? It is ANYTHING but religious around here. You have more pot smoking hippies around here than anywhere else in the country. Trust me on that cuz.

Yes, you have all the Nazi groups running around on the Idaho, Montana and Washington border.

Corde leign (sp), Idaho is home of the Aryan Nation and the rest of the knuckleheads.

Just because there is a JCC on campus doesn't mean anti-semitism doesn't exist.

You don't think students at UF have ever called anyone a ******. They support all the black football players, so should I assume the word ****** has never been used in Gainesville.

I don't like trash-talking and taunting from any player. Coming from thugs it's to be expected, though. From a player who holds himself up to be some kind of moral role-model -- and Tebow does portray himself that way, and has certainly let the U of F athletic PR department run with that image -- it's worse. Then it's not only poor sportsmanship and low class, it's hypocritical.

Nope. Then again, he doesn't "yell" about his love for Christ either.

Wow, did you actually just say that? There's a TON of Jews/G-d's people in FL, I believe only second behind the state of NY.

Last time I checked Pullman is closer to the Idaho border and corde Leign than Seattle, isn't it?


Guess I never clarified that I go to school in Pullman 8 months out of the year now in my 3rd year. I grew up in Seattle, so I know what I'm talking about.
