Don’t Worry, Steve Spurrier Still Loves Tim Tebow

By Eamonn Brennan

So, SEC media day(s) revealed — as it so often does — a few choice facts. One: Houston Nutt is full of twangy inspirational sayings. Two: Tim Tebow is wasting the greatest female slaying opportunity of his life which I have no doubt, not a single one, that he will someday regret saving himself for marriage. Three: Steve Spurrier didn’t vote for Tim Tebow in the preseason All-SEC voting. He voted for Ole Miss’s Jevan Snead instead.

Obviously, Snead is not a better quarterback than Tim Tebow. Tim Tebow is a deity; Snead is just a good player. So is Spurrier just being a dick here, or what? Actually, according to him, no:

“In actuality, I didn’t do much voting at all. I didn’t fill the sheet out. It was either a dumb or careless mistake, and some coach made a serious mistake by not having Tim Tebow. My director of football operations brought the ballot by, and signed it. I got here and saw that someone didn’t vote for Tebow, and I said ‘We had Tebow, right?’ And he said, ‘Actually coach, we had Jevan Snead. We already had ten gators…’”

“We screwed it up pretty badly, we’re embarrassed about it. We made a mistake, and I made a mistake,” Spurrier said. “I think he’s the best football player in the country. I think he and Danny Wuerffel will go down as the two best quarterbacks to ever play in college football history.

“I messed it up, and I take full blame for it. I didn’t sleep worth a dang last night thinking about it.”

The Journal-Constitution’s Jeff Schultz doesn’t believe it was as simple as an oversight, but hey, let’s give the Ol’ Ball Coach the benefit of the doubt. Or we could stop pretending the preseason All-SEC team matters in any way shape or form, and instead go back to discussing the truly important matters at hand: questioning Tim Tebow’s virginity with nothing more than photos on the Internet. It’d be funny if I didn’t want to blow my brains out!

    This is really interesting considering he's a coach within the SEC and "coincidentally" made a mistake. I wonder, if hypothetically speaking Spurrier intended to not vote for Tim Tebow - what would it have accomplished? Just bad blood or envy that the Gators have a star QB? Even with those questions lingering, I agree - and am still going to give him the benefit of the doubt as it being an honest mistake on the sheet.
