I usually reserve this blog for the life and times of the Terry family's memorable moments. I could not escape finishing the 2009 year without making the exception to include one of the greatest players in NCAA Football to ever take the field. Whether a Florida Gator or not, it is quite easy to look at the impact one player can make...not just to his team, but the game itself. Seldom do you find an athlete that has the rare gift to break the records of the founders and existing players on the gridiron. The stars have to be aligned and the blue moon full for him to be the great leader that rallies his team every week to victory. An individual that will redifine the role and the DNA of a quarterback which keeps the opposing team and commentators in awe.
Tim Tebow, the name alone is legendary now. It has the same distinction of Paul Bunyon, John Henry or Pecos Bill. His nickname is Superman, however it has been said that "Superman wears Tim Tebow pajamas". His complete career statistics since his Freshman year including 3 trips to the Heisman award ceremony with the first Sophomore to win. He has the SEC's all-time Rushing TD's with 57...which all could justify using the term HERO.
Above all the records, the awards, wins, losses, and the Florida Gators you'll find a front and center a man that loves the LORD. He brought the John 3:16 message back to football by sending 93 million folks to Google the passage on their computers. There will be others to follow or perhaps exceed his abilities when it comes to Saturday game day. The legacy that Tim will leave for the game will always be remembered...for the Florida Gators it will be legendary!
