Vote Tebow for a 'Verbie' PDF Print E-mail
Written by James Brown   
Thursday, 17 December 2009

The Solid Verbal Podcast (here), Friends of Gators First, has some year-end awards- the Verbies- that you can vote on here.

Tim Tebow is up for the Ty'sman, presumably co-host Ty Hildenbrandt's punny take on the Heisman (I haven't downloaded the latest podcast, featuring ESPN's Bruce Feldman, yet).

There are some other Gator and SEC-related votes you can make, I'll recap some of the votes I made below.

Don't just vote my way, vote how you see fit. But if you don't vote for Tebow, you're probably a venereal-disease ridden Georgia fan.

''Not Coach of the Year'' - Ron Zook.

That was easy.

''Online College Football Fan of the Year'' - Alabama Fan. That guy just cracks me up, and I didn't want to vote for the other guy just because he's a Florida fan. Maybe I should have put the Gators, uh, first though?

''TV Personality of the Year'' - Lou Holth. He'th bringing thethy back. And anyone that inspires a ''3 Holtz moon'' t-shirt gets my vote for ANYTHING.

''Crime of the Year'' - The Vols robbing the gas station. I know it wouldn't turn out well, but I wish there was a ''victim of the year'', because the Vol fan that got robbed then sort of blew it off would have gotten my vote.

''Clemson of the Year'' - Ole Miss. They always rag on Clemson, and Cal, for being the breakout team that can never do it. Ole Miss had me fooled.

''Guest of the Year'' - Clay Travis. Yeah, I've been a big fan of his for a while. But I voted for him primarily because he was on multiple times (compared to Spencer Hall only once I believe), and I did a big fist pump each of those times, because I knew the talk was going to center on SEC football. Or as we call it around here, God's Game.

''Show of the Year'' - Spencer Hall (edsbs.com). I don't want to call him certifiably insane, as that's the phrase I use for Houston Nutt and Les Miles. But he's nuttier than Chinese chicken salad (to borrow from Mr. Garrison), and his latest appearance was fantastic.

''Moral Victory of the Year'' - Iowa/Ohio State. Because I really thought with Stanzi out they'd just fold up the tents and get rolled. The UT-UF game was the only game I flew back for, and the outcome was never in question. And it cracks me up that a program that should take itself seriously would claim a moral victory. Who do they think they are, Vanderbilt (excellently named blog here)?

For instance, despite our recent back-to-back NCAA Tournament Titles, Florida basketball's history is closer to the back-to-back NIT let-down seasons of the two most recent years. But when we lost to Syracuse last weekend, I was legitimately disappointed, and felt we should have found a way to pull it out (I'll skip the Darren McFadden jokes). In no way would I claim a loss as a ''moral victory''. And I think a Vols fan would tell you that their football pedigree is somewhere above our basketball pedigree (again, recent unbelievable success aside).

Anyway, I almost voted for the Vols, because I think it's sticking it to a rival to make them accept a loss as a ''moral victory''. But I also think Kiffin tried to stir everything up to bait Meyer into running up the score, and we treated them exactly like we did all the other shitty teams on our schedule- play super conservative, survive and advance. Kiffin wanted to make sure they talked about his team more in a loss than our team in a win. In the end I had to vote for the Iowa game, as I was more impressed by the Hawkeyes in their loss than I was impressed by Tennessee at any point this season (gas station robberies aside).
