2007 was by and far the strangest year in college football. and not because App State beat Michigan. not because Kentucky was ranked in the top 10 during the season. not because South Florida was a brief national title contender. not because Mississippi State beat Auburn AND Alabama. not because Nick Saban got paid 4 million dollars to lose to the Warhawks. not because Nebraska can't play defense. not because Miami and Florida State both suck and don't look like they are getting better anytime soon. not because Notre Dame lost to EVERYONE. not because Georgia wore black uniforms. not because USC lost to Standford AT HOME. no no no. not because LSU lost twice and STILL got to play for a National Title. no. none of those things made this the weirdest season in college football history.
at the end of the day, the absolute weirdest thing of the year was that i found myself cheering for a Florida Gator. I (a lifelong hater of all things Gator) found myself rooting for Tim Tebow and spouting such things as "I'd trade Auburn's entire recruiting class for Tim Tebow" and "he's the best college player since Bo Jackson" and other sorts of nonsense. yeah it's sad but true but i fucking love Tim Tebow. and how can you not? dude is fucking AWESOME! he smashes through the d-line like they were made of paper. he's got the ugliest throw in all of football and yet he chunks the shit out of it. he's a sweet and humble kid who totally breaks the mold that all home schooled kids are retarded. in an alternate reality Tebow is playing for Alabama and Mike Shula still has a job and i still fucking love that weirdo Christian Beast of A QB. he's made the spread option/single wing/Fullback Playing QB the most exciting offense in football. right now there are kids who should be playing middle linebacker that are learning to throw a football so that they can be the next Tebow. and that fucking rules. he's changed the way you think about what has always been the most fragile position in all of football.
god bless Tim Tebow. maybe someday you'll be a Falcon and i can root for you without shame.

It's great that Tebow won the Heisman, but I think that it's even greater that he won the Davey O'Brien Award. The Heisman represents only on the field accomplishments, while the O'Brien takes into account how a player performs on AND OFF the field. Now, THAT'S something I can respect.
