Everything Tim Tebow does is heroic, and this creates serious problems for me: now that ESPN has deemed Florida a team glitzy enough to cover even during their spring game, I now find myself on the stank end of the vulgar glare of the sports public as a Florida fan? (Yes.) Will Tim Tebow get the Matt Leinart '05 treatment? (In progress.) And if so, will Shelley Smith again be put on the "female reporter sent to stalk young athlete for a year" beat? (Yes, because someone at ESPN hates Shelley Smith.)
The Florida spring scrimmage featured Erin Andrews in lovely white top and blue skirt, all cinched with a wide belt. Oh, and football. That happened, too.
Heisman winner Tim Tebow played with a 102 degree fever, inadvisable for mortals but seemingly fine for the babyrhinoback, who had to play nearly the entire game due to an injury to third-stringer John Brantley in practice this week.
He threw two picks, but both bounced off wideout hands into waiting defensive mitts. Stunned, the DBs had to be told what the football-colored object in their hands was after a 2007 season of few picks for the Gator D.
Numba One Stunna of the Day? Sophomore running back Chris Rainey. Rainey caught a 50-plus yard TD (fun part about spring games -- no box score!) and ripped off beautiful, quicksilver runs all day long. He's liquid evil in cleats when he gets the ball, and after this game, that's a lock for the fall.

Watch out for those baby gators, esp. if your a fan or attend the Ohio State University! Tim Tebow will continue to amaze and Percy Harvin will be considered for the Heisman. Sorry Nole fans, this will be one for the thumb, i expect nothing but a preseason number 1 as well as a date in the BS-BCS title game. Good luck to all in the SEC,(esp. Nick Satan and the Crimson elephants, Nick, by the way is a liar, loser and a quitter in the NFL though i’m not bitter,my ’Phins are better off!) and i look forward to another beat-down of The Ohio State University come Jan. Get use to it America, The SEC is superior in more ways than one, and my baby gators are at the top! Roll tide…..Not!
