It was the last game in the Swamp for Tim Tebow, Brandon Spikes, David Nelson, and many other seniors on this years team. Yesterday's game was an emotional one for fans, players and coaches. Check the links below for a variety of posts by other bloggers and the media.
From USAToday.com:
"Fifteen broke down pretty good when he was coming through that tunnel," Meyer said of the Senior Day introductions, in which Tebow's eyes were filled with tears as he ran up and hugged his coach.
"It was special," Tebow said. "A memory I will always have."
From GATOR BYTES -Florida vs Florida State in photos:
It is not too early to say that Saturday’s football game between Florida and Florida State will go down as the most memorable game ever played in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.

Tebow Swamp Finale
Again: The most powerful part of the game setting had nothing to do with anything that Tebow or Florida could control -- it was all about the fans.
From ESPN.com, Pat Forde writes "Generosity of spirit separates Tebow"
"I've never seen anything like it," Florida coach Urban Meyer said. "… He's made unselfish kind of a cool thing."
And a final thought...How often do you hear the scripture quoted during a football game? Sportscaster Vern Lundquist quoted Hebrews 12:12 incorrectly as Tebow's eye-black was Hebrews 12:1 & 2. But he did correct himself and went on to quote verse 1 during the second half of the game. Thanks to Tim Tebow for using his talent to spread the gospel!
1.Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
