Heisman Trophy Tribute

Congratulations to Tim Tebow, a much-deserving winner in 2007.  Despite all the haters and their Tebow envy, it was plainly obvious the Tim was 'The Most Outstanding College Football Player' this season.
The numbers are staggering -- 22 rushing TDs, 29 passing TDs, 177.9 passing efficiency rating.  But his leadership, combined with humility, set him apart from the rest.  He did a wonderful job of thanking all the right people for making it happen, and handled himself with grace the entire season.  There is no more fierce competitior in the country, and both his teammates and opponents know it.

Once again the Gator Nation is blessed with a tremendous player, person, and ambassador.
GO GATORS!
