It was announced Wednesday that Tim Tebow would be returning to his analyst role with the network this weekend. Tebow rejoin SEC Network’s SEC Nation, its two-hour College GameDay-esque pregame show, which will be shot on location in Nashville before Georgia and Vanderbilt play (on CBS!).
Just in time for Nashville! Are we lucky ducks or what?

Sorry everyone, but I cannot hate Tim Tebow. Based on how he has conducted his life since he left Florida, I think he has shown he is a commendable and authentic person. I hope I am never disappointed by some egregious future error in his life – but that might just reveal who he is. Like me, a schmuck, trying to get it right but saved by grace like all of us. I have to give him kudos like I give Mark kudos – interested in the long term view of trying, ( the operative term here is ‘trying) to influence people for the good in life. There is no one better in big time college football at that than Mark. Don’t hate me guys – I still detest and abhor all things Gator – but have to rise in defense of Tim. An exception as a person, if not a Gator. Thanks for listening and don’t bomb my house.

Seriously? Verne Lundquist is a professional who has the chops to cover everything from figure skating to golf to football. You think Verne openly roots against UGA? From 2002-2004, most everyone else in the SEC thought Verne was having a bromance with the David’s. In 2007, I had Auburn fans tell me they thought Stafford’s Dad was buying Verne dinner every week in Highland Park to say good things about his son.

Speaking of fun, it is kind of a damn shame that out of 32 teams, nobody could make room for Tebow on the two or three deep. Seems like at least one coach would be a gambler who’d want someone like Tebow in situations where the situation was “Well, let’s throw something weird at them. Nothing else is working.” Helluva lot more interesting to watch than your prototype NFL quarterback. Seems like someone would have him on the team as just a novelty or the go-to guy on the “26 Weird Wildcat” package or whatever.

But I can’t put in a call for the SEC/ESPN to fire Tebow as long as FBomb/Springer is put forth as an expert and given a daily show. The one time I might have watched something other than live CFB, they have this goofball on. At least move him to earlier in the day, or better, run his show between midnight and sunrise. Outside of his own little harem, I wonder if they realize how many fans they run away from the late afternoon viewing slot just because of him?

One of the things about Timmy was that he was not a very good Christian when the Gators lost. I mean he would cry and pout and run off the field without congratulating any of the opposing team. Now granted he did get many chances to be a good loser and I know now days fans think that you should humiliate your opponents but he is a Christian right? The other sin he has is Pride. The only reason he is not in the NFL right now was that he let his pride keep him from being anything but a QB. Pride goes before a fall I think I heard somewhere. Tim must have missed that verse. Other than those petty little things I think he is a nice guy who will never play QB again.

I don’t want to seem uncharitable but, sorry, I really can’t stand Tim Tebow. During an era when flag happy SEC refs were penalizing any act drawing attention to one’s self Tim Tebow would run up and down the sidelines doing the Gator Chomp every time he scored a TD often right in front of the opponent’s bench. That is the definition of bad sportsmanship. And no flag! He was a system
QB with minimal QB skills who somehow BSed the world into thinking he was a good player–even tricked the Heisman voters into giving him that award for leading his team to 3 losses. I just don’t get it how the previous QB led the Gators to the national championship and got nothing but Timmy took over, lost 3 games, and won the Heisman. Lose one for the Gipper? He was a no talent hot dog whose team won with defense yet he got all the credit because in Meyer’s system the QB scores all the TDs by either running or faking the run and throwing a short pop pass. I am amazed one of the D-linemen didn’t beat the crap out of him.

I.e., the guy just isn’t very smart and can’t think quickly on his feet. Luckily for him, in college, surrounded by Percy Harvey and tons of other talent, he didn’t really have to. He could only fake that for so long.

Didn’t say that. Said he was surrounded by a ton of offensive talent, a great defense, and Urban’s fanatical special teams.
He didn’t have to process a ton of information in that system. He was the battering ram that cranked out first downs and TDs. He never worked under center. He never turned his back to D on play action. His footwork and throwing motion were a disaster.
If you don’t believe that, I’d offer the walking papers that now 4 different NFL teams have handed him as evidence.

Sorry Mayor, it isn’t, and wasn’t Tebow’s fault he was allowed to taunt and not get flagged. That is on the ref’s, and has to be on orders from the league office. It should be addressed, but yo cannot blame Tebow for that. And I have watched Corch’s “system” at ohio and it is not based on pop passes, or QBs doing all the scoring. He simply adapted it when he had Tebow, and adjusted it again when he lost Braxton Miller. Cordele Jones seems pretty conventional to me, and Elliot gets his fair share of yards and TDs.

I agree that the refs and the SEC front office are to blame for not flagging Tebow for the Gator Chomp but I still blame Tebow for doing it–a low class bad sportsmanship act flagged or not. And the QBs at Bowling Green and Utah had almost exactly the same stats the Tebow had at FU the year he won the Heisman. Those guys just didn’t have the 20 TDs rushing and passing that the media loved so much. They had like 18 rushing and 22 passing and vice-versa. So why is Tebow so great and the others not? He’ll Alex Smith is a starter in the NFL. Tebow was a fiction. A fake. A RB who could just barely throw the ball just enough to make the run work and the run threat with his OL was just enough to make the pass work. GPOOE my ass!! He was just surrounded with talent.
