St. Timothy

[Marlow]

This week’s Sports Illustrated cover-boy (ain’t no jinx gonna touch him!) is none other than St. Timothy of Tebow, the patron saint of college football. The cover story is 7 pages long with 2 full page photos and 3 other good sized ones . . . and it has very little to do with football. It is all about the imminent beatification and eventual (fast-tracked) canonization of him, the first person to be sainted BEFORE he is elected Pope (and he’s not even Catholic!).

Tebow-watching has become the state passion and even the most ardent Gator Haters (Miami used to be the Yankees of Florida, but clearly UF has now donned that mantle) have to admit a secret love for Tim Terrific. Gainesville may a butt-ugly town (city motto: Low culture is better than none – yee-haw), but it is the state capital every fall.

The obvious question is: when does the pendulum start its swing the other way? Nothing this good can last. No human being can be this good (well, since the clocks moved from BC to AD), can he? All eyes are on him 24/7 waiting for the façade to crack. When will his Phelpsian bong hit moment come?

I’m the proud parent of two 'Noles, but even I can’t get enough of this Media Freak! Where will it all end?

Contrarian opinions welcome! :twisted:

I am soooo honored to live in a place where college football is only on the radar at a time of year when there are actually games going on.

He wasn't the best pure QB in the SEC last year, and he's lucky this year that that QB left early to be the #1 pick in the NFL draft.

That IS one of the concomitant problems. All we get here now is Tebow-TV; it really is kind of maddening!

One could even argue that McCoy is the best of this coming year's Terrific Trio (SB, TT, CM).
