Tebow's Tears.........

[TNBama]

Tebow plays with a passion, and loses with passion. Posting multiple times of him crying and making fun of it is classless.

Win with class, dont show your @$$.

I have a feeling that a lot will be made of the "Tebow wept" moment in the coming days. I'll admit that I, too, felt a guilt satisfaction to see it.

The grin was wiped off my face by his classy comments in the interview immediately after the game. He had suffered the bitterest loss (perhaps) of his career and he could barely speak from the emotion, yet all he would say was what a classy program Alabama was and the respect he had for our team and our coach.

Well done, Mr. Tebow. You've represented your team, the SEC, and college football at large well. Best of luck to you.

I agree. I thought that was the ultimate showing of class. I am glad we don't have to face him ever again! :BigA:

Tebow plays with a passion, and loses with passion.

Excellent point.

I also remember last year him talking about the toughest part was high fiving all the fans after the game. Most players in college football are just as classy as tim tebow!

You shouldn't cry in public. He does it EVERY time he loses a game. It's childish. Swallow it, shake their hands, and go home and cry in your room. Sorry. That's just how I feel.

I have to agree with you 100%. I felt a sick satisfaction seeing him cry, but then when they interviewed him and he said those classy things it brought me back to reality. Tim Tebow is without a doubt one of the best ambassadors for college football you could ask for. He is a classy individual and a fierce competitor. My dislike of him has been media inflicted. It's not his fault that the media has decided to make him into their sole focus for the past few years, and honestly you can't blame them. I really respect Tim Tebow and hope the gators go and destroy whatever team they play in the Sugar Bowl.

Perfectly said...except I do blame them [the media]. It is still a team game.

This is a hard topic, really. I prefer to fall on the side of us winning with class. But I do have to admit I also got some pleasure out of seeing TT lose it there. Some of the dislike he gets he has earned, but I have to agree most of it was not of his doing. The guy really is a bit of a lightning rod because he is so good, is such a good guy, and gets a lot of attention for those things. It will naturally lead to resentment from other teams' fans. But maybe we should all ask ourselves how we would think about this same guy we seem to dislike if he actually had come to the University of Alabama. We would love him, I bet, and his coming would have been the worst thing to ever happen to us (as his coming would have meant Shula stayed longer, we never get Saban, etc.).

All that said, I do think John 16:33 reads "Lord, please deliver me from this sea of crimson."

that statement was taken a little out of context. I admit I hated all the hype he recieved but that doesn't take away from the kind of person he is. I can't see how any parent, player, coach, or christian can be upset with the way he carried himself in the loss tonight.

You know, after reading Tebow threads for four years now, I wish some of our posters had the opportunity to live in the bubble that's been created for him for the same time period. Take the topic of this thread for instance... some of us think it's admirable he cry - others mock him for it. Just once I'd like to see some folks who's never been there actually get there and see what it would be like. I'm sure I'd make my share of mistakes and I'm sure I'd get tired of the never-ending criticism that comes from overexpectations that's put on the back of a college student.

Totally Agree!! Theres a time when you gotta MAN UP!!

I think when you play with the emotion and passion Tebow does, it's not the easiest thing to swallow. :smile:

I think that's just how Tebow is wired and I feel sure it's not done to bring attention to himself. I think football is the biggest part of his life behind his faith. He's worked so hard along with the entire Florida team, it's incredibly disappointing and painful when you fall short of your goal. :smile:

I see no shame in his tears at all. :smile:

Indeed.

Some people have enough self confidence they don't worry about what other people think...

Nobody is upset with the way he carried himself but he's not the only player that has lost a ballgame for crying out loud.

Agreed. Emotion should never be part of football. It's a good thing no Bama player has ever cried, otherwise we'd be wearing rocks throwing glass houses.

 

[crimsonaudio]

That's a well-done photoshop...

This is so sweet. It took me a minute to get the joke.DT_Aliboronz_24:

The kid is the best competitor I've ever seen. Unless those of you who want him to "man up" are man enough to tell that to his face, why don't you keep the thoughts to yourself.

This is a great, great night for the University of Alabama. Let's try to act like it's not our first, nor our last.
