Spurrier Explains the Missing Tebow Vote

As a Dawg fan, you gotta love this.  Either Spurrier intentionally dissed Tebow and tried to cover it up, or he made a major boner by not paying attention to the details (kind of like how he’s coached the Gamecocks.)  You know, he would have had a lot more credibility and respect if he had just said that he thought Sneed was the better QB going into this year.  But to say "I signed it without paying attention" then sluffing it off on someone else who apparently decided that there were enough Gators voted for, that’s just lame Steve……

this is the biggest dumbest pile of crap ever…. not because of spurrier but because Tim Tebow was left off of 1 ballot… The fact this caused an uprising among SEC media day is hysterically stupid. Tim Tebow is the best player in teh country and has a chance to go down as the best player in the history of college football… why is this even a story…it doesn’t matter how you start fans, it matters where you finish….

LOL, who the hell cares????  

Wait – are you trying to tell me that coaches often don’t fill out their own voting ballots?  I am shocked.  Shocked and dismayed.

This mistake could singlehandedly tarnish Tim Tebow’s pre-season legacy.

My God, I’m agreeing with Gabe. Someone call Beelzebub and see if its freezing over down there.

Spurrier knew what he was doing. Sounds like the Ole’ Ball Coach is jealous of Florida’s success.

Who the **** cares?

Spurrier needs to go if the Gamecocks do not go at least 9-3 this season.
If you read posts on other boards, fans are already giving in to Florida being the SEC East winner and losing to the Gators.  Before a single game is played, some Gamecock fans think the Gators will kick their rears all over the field.  If you believe that, then do not play the game. 
I expect the Gamecocks and Spurrier to show up and beat the Gators.  If you do not think you have a chance, then stay off the field and let the cheerleaders play.

If Clemson beats the Gamecocks this season, Spurrier needs to go.  Two back to back seasons being beat by an intermin head coach and a first year head coach will not do.

"I think he and Danny Wuerffel will go down as the two best quarterbacks to ever play in college football history"

WTF? I’d pick Michael Vick over Danny W. any day.  John Elway was a pretty dang good QB in college, and so was Steve "Air" McNair (how often does a I-AA QB get tv time and sports illustrated coverage?).

Seems Spurrier thinks Fla. QBs are holy people.

Michael Vick- hahahahahaha thats funnier than this article.

WOW!  Ten Gators on the ballot.  At what position are they lacking?

QB, according to Spurrier….

I am probably not alone when my first guess as to "who dun’ it" was Steve Spurrier  going back a few days ago when this story first broke in the news.

This sure looks like it happened "accidently on purpose" and the cover story about assistant coaches doing it comes off as being hollow.

This is the same Steve Spurrier who came to the rescue of his former QB/ current UF Football announcer who Urban Meyer criticized for "not being a true Gator Fan" about 6-8 weeks ago by saying that Meyer’s Dream Job is still coaching at Notre Dame in a left-handed way of striking back at Meyer.

The fact that Meyer has far surpassed his achievements with 2 NC’s (working on #3) and fan popularity at Florida really stings and he still holds some grudges.

As competitive as all of the other SEC coaches are and with as little love for Meyer that they may have—at least 11 of them had the decency/sportsmanship to vote for Tebow who is a special talent.

Tebow will be operating more out of a snap from under center (at least that is the plan to get him ready for the NFL) vs. a shot-gun snap which may change his playmaking abilities somewhat this Fall and Javin Sneed is a great player too.

We’ll see who is the All SEC QB turns out to be by season’s end—those are two very good players to argue over.

Complete rubbish. 

Spurrier has always been scrupulously honest, even when getting in his digs at opponents,  even when threatening to report opposing coaches’ suspected misdeeds to the league office.  Why would he suddenly invent a lie about a trivial pre-season ballot? 

SOS laid the foundation for Meyer.   Spurrier still loves UF and the fans still love him.

WHAAAAAA Tebow not getting enough love!

And now, Steve Spurrier would like to try to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge.

Seriously this is the most pointless story ever.  It’s an equally pointless pre-season ballot that is as useless as pre-season rankings for the teams.  Who cares?

As the line of SEC coaches came to the podium to profess their innocence (of having a dissenting opinion) and you looked at who was left . . .

. . . you just knew it was Spur Dog.

Didn’t you?

re: g-o-g

True dat on all counts.

With all DW did for SOS how could he not throw the kids name out there . . . both Wuerfell and Tebow are consumate COLLEGE quarterbacks and Spurrier is the consumate college coach.

The NFL is for gamblers and fantasy fans . . . real football takes place on campus.

I thought the whole thing was funny!

The ole’Ball coach bags his former team.  That was the story guys, not St. Tebow being a consensus istead of unaminous.

You mean to tell me the Former Heisman QB, Known QB guru, is not paying attention to who is at QB on his ballet?

C’mon!!  He got nailed and now he has to walk away with his tail tucked.

Man, I think it’s painfully obvious that Spurrier regrets the day he walked away from the Mighty Gators.

This is stupid and pointless… who cares? I was not aware that it was a requirement for everybody to vote for tim tebow. My god the media is so SEC- Florida biased..

Shoulda just said, "Yea, I voted for Snead."  Then end of story.
