Tim Tebow,
I would just like to say thank you. Thank you so much. You are my role model and I look up to you. I am 15 years old and you helped me through my life. I was a huge gator fan before but when you came, it was all a different story. I wouldn’t miss a game for my life. You inspired me to keep my head high and move on in life. You changed my life. You inspired me with the way you where your black eyes and how all you wanted is to see smiles on peoples faces. Well I sure get a smile on my face when i see you. I would like to thank you for all your hard work and your good deeds that you have done. And one day i want to be just like you. I sure will miss you and I’ll miss standing in gator walk and cheering you on. Good luck with the rest of your career and remember everybody is gator bait!
Sincerely,
Kerrie

There are even some friends get custom lanyards with Tim’s name on it.

Tim Tebow,
I have been a Florida Gator Fan pretty much my whole life. I am sixteen currently, and over the past four years I fell in love with football all thanks to you. It’s been an absolute pleasure to watch you play and every year got better and better. To me, it’s not only what you do on the field that I admire but also what you do outside of school. You have become a huge role model for me and I hope one day I can accomplish the many great things you have done. I wanted to Congratulate you on the past four years as well thank you for making it the most exciting four years of my life. If you are able to read this I’d be sooo thankful. My family and I hope to see so much more of you in the future no matter what you decide. Good Luck and again thank you for what you have done already. Sincerely, a HUGE Gator fan,

Emily T. —West Palm Beach, Florida.

GO GATORS!

It was announced today that Tim Tebow will be in the running again this year for some of the most coveted awards in college football. Tebow was named a finalist for the Maxwell Award, which is given out annually to the overall best player in college football. Along with Tebow, Texas quarterback Colt McCoy and Alabama running back Mark Ingram are u for the award. Tebow is also a finalist for the Davey O’Brien award that honors the best quarterback in college football. Houston’s Case Keenum and once again McCoy will be competing with Tebow for the award. So you ask, what are the chances Tim Tebow comes away with the hardware for these awards?

Well, for the past six years the Maxwell Award has been given strictly to quarterbacks, so I would automatically rule Ingram out of contention. That leaves Tebow and McCoy to battle it out, and in my opinion the award will go to Tim Tebow. After all he has won it the past two years, so why would the voters change this when he is having another stellar season. Now, the battle for the O’Brien Award is a bit more complicated to decipher. Keenum is having a spectacular year statistics wise as he leads the nation passing yards, total offense, and completions.

Then we have McCoy who is putting up another very good year, and has recently set an NCAA record with 43 victories a starting quarterback. And finally there is Tebow who also is having a great year, but I believe his lack of statistical firepower will eliminate him from contention. That leaves us with Keenum and McCoy, and I believe the winner will be Keenum because of the amazing stats he has compiled. So, I think that Tebow will win the Maxwell Award, but come just short in the running for the O’Brien Award.
