homecoming, the Gators stood tall and tough in the
second half, coming back from 17 points down to
 beat the

Keeping up with former Gator, Tim Tebow



While we "wait" for the Gators football season to begin, we might as well keep up with former Gator Tim Tebow. He seems to be in the news everyday now - signing contracts for his own shoe with Nike, Jockey commercials for underwear, and finally a contract with the Broncos.

On July 21st, the Denver Post article discussed Tebow and the Broncos - "Just how much "wild horse" offense should we expect to see this season? Or, to put it another way, just how much Tim Tebow?"

On July 24th a poll was released regarding the most influencial athletes. After Lance Armstrong and LeBron James, "Tebow was recently ranked the third most influential athlete in the nation, according to a poll conducted by Encino (Calif.) E-Poll Market Research." read the article at gatorsports.com ...

On July 30th, the Denver Post interviewed John Elway who spoke about Tebow also -"The focus has been on Tebow because of what he did at college, but those other young guys have to come in and play too," Elway said. "You can't expect him to do it by himself." click to read the article...

On July 28th, even Focus on the Family had a post about Tebow - "Tim Tebow, the Denver Broncos first-round draft pick and Focus on the Family's favorite QB, is in the news again today, this time for signing on as a spokesman for Jockey underwear." click to read the article...

And on July 29th, the biggest news for Tebow fans - he finally signed his contract with the Broncos - "Rookie quarterback Tim Tebow officially became a Bronco on Thursday afternoon after signing a five-year contract only two days and three practices late."

NCAA proposes ban on eye black messages ajc.com

They've been used to promote everyone from the Apostle John to
Michael Vick. But college football players may soon be prohibited from printing anything, secular or holy, on their eye black if the NCAA Football Rules Committee has its way.
