Too early for this?

Anyway, time to get the Tebow hate rolling with this wonderful article!

Tebow no pitchman ... yet

When the rock star becomes an NFL star, companies and Web sites will be free to seek out Tim Tebow to endorse their product.

He could even help sell, say, women's panties if he chose to (even though that seems highly unlikely).

But since he's still a college football player, he's off limits to companies trying to profit from his name. Especially without his consent.

A Web site seeking to ride the Tebow wave of popularity has come up with a unique product called Teebows — orange and blue women's panties shaped like a T with a bow on the back.

It's OK to sell Teebows (the 90-percent cotton underwear go for $6 a pair), but the Web site was issued a cease-and-desist order for using a picture of Tebow and an official Gators' logo on its site. The picture and logo have since been taken down on Teebows.com.

The order was sought by Collegiate Licensing Company, which partners with UF. Using Tebow's picture and a UF logo is copyright infringement, a common problem that UF has to contend with over the years.

Well get used to it, bitches. ;D

[Jack Quinn]

let me just say FUCK TEBOW, I don't think I have ever hated a college player this much ever.

Also, did someone have to tell him the bow goes on the back?

[Tommy]

Don't make me wish for his knee to get blown out.

I hate wishing injury on players. It makes me feel bad.

[Mikey]

Actually, I don't mind Tebow. He's probably the first media darling (unless you count Hansbrough) that doesn't really bother me. Would I like for people to shut the fuck up about him? Sure. But I like watching him play, and despite being a Gator, I can't help but like the guy.

But it's shit like this that makes people hate him, and I can not and will not condemn anyone for despising him.

[Jack Quinn]

If Tebow blew his knee out, teh Jeezus would just reach down and touch his knee and make it better. Cause you know, Tebow is a special guy. Five minutes with him can change your life

Thom Brennaman. Just wiw.

He and Tony Dungy should just tag together and save the world from their evil non-Protestant ways.

[Jack Quinn]

I so want Tebow to get caught in a gay bar getting a rusty trombone from an amputee tranny while shooting heroin and sniffing a line of coke off of Urban Myers dick

[Mikey]

Shut the fuck up, Urban Meyer.

[Deleted]

Yeah, Meyer's an asshole. Like a major, major asshole.

My wife works at the airport in Gainesville and mainly handles things from the commercial side. But she does still know what's going on with all the tenants and on the private and general aviation side of things. One of the main businesses on the general aviation side of things is University Air Center. They are basically a charter service, and the University Athletic Association at UF often contracts them when the coaches need to go on recruiting trips or for other similar reasons. Well apparently Meyer took it upon himself on MANY occasions to park in the Employee of the Month's parking spot. And we're not talking for 10 minutes or anything. It would be up to a week at times. And it's not like the parking lot is ever remotely congested where that was the only spot he could find. So the owner/operator of University Air Center (a former Navy commander/pilot) approached him one day about it and Meyer just basically gave him the "Do you know who I am?" spiel.

But damn, the man can coach.


On the flipside, Billy Donovan is one of the nicest and most humble people you could ever meet. Just a great, great guy.

[Jack Quinn]

The rift apparently started when Matthews criticized the offense following the 31-30 loss to Mississippi -- the game that produced Tim Tebow's now-famous postgame speech.

there are not enough infected dicks in the world for Tebow to eat enough of them to make me hate him less.

Paulus to play for Syracuse

RALEIGH, N.C.(AP)—Greg Paulus is returning home to Syracuse to play football.

The former Duke point guard will enroll in graduate school at Syracuse and try to make a comeback in football for the Orange, he said Thursday.

“My gut and my heart were telling me that (Syracuse) was the best place for me,” Paulus said from Durham, N.C., during a conference call.

The decision ends a month of speculation whether the one-time star high school quarterback from Syracuse would resume his football career.

He worked out for the Green Bay Packers in April, acknowledged meeting with Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez about playing for the Wolverines, also visited Nebraska and said he was contacted by about two dozen programs.

“It got me thinking, got me throwing again (and) once I got doing that, the itch and the desire came back,” Paulus said. “To have this opportunity where I have two sports, and to be able to do them both at the college level, it’s something that’s pretty unique and special.”

He said he called new Orange coach Doug Marrone on Thursday morning to notify him of his decision.

The three-year starting guard graduated from Duke earlier this month. He has one season of eligibility remaining and can play immediately if he receives a waiver from the NCAA.

Marrone was not available and could not comment on the announcement because the NCAA paperwork has not been completed, university officials said.

Paulus was a record-setting high school quarterback in high school at Christian Brothers Academy, located less than a mile from Marrone’s office, and now has a legitimate chance at Syracuse, a proud program that’s fallen on hard times.

“I’ve seen a lot of great years at Syracuse,” Paulus said.

The Orange hired Marrone in December to resurrect the team he once played for - Syracuse has gone 10-37 over the past four seasons. He already has moved former starting quarterback Andrew Robinson to tight end and demoted Cam Dantley, last year’s starter, to backup behind redshirt freshman Ryan Nassib, who has never thrown a college pass.

Paulus said Marrone has made “no promises, no guarantees” about playing time.

At CBA, Paulus was one of the nation’s top prep quarterbacks. As a senior running a potent spread offense, he threw for 3,700 yards and 43 touchdowns in a 13-0 season. He finished his prep career with 11,763 yards and 152 touchdowns passing.

Miami and Notre Dame offered him football scholarships, and he received a basketball offer from Syracuse before choosing to play basketball at Duke. For most of the past four years, his only flirtation with football came when he threw the ball around with his younger brother, Mike, a quarterback at North Carolina.

Having been away from the game for so long has raised doubts about whether Paulus, at 6-foot-1 and 185 pounds, can succeed at the Division I level, especially for a team like Syracuse, which has struggled to build a solid offensive line.

“There’s going to be challenges along the way with getting into football shape, learning the system, getting back to speed,” Paulus said. “It’s a different challenge, and it’s one that I’m looking forward to.”

Since Paulus did not redshirt and will complete his degree at Duke in four years, he can go to graduate school elsewhere and compete right away if he is granted the waiver. Paulus said he plans to drive back to Syracuse in the coming days to deal with the necessary paperwork.

Did someone mention Greg Paulus?



Bonus points, too, for Manning Face bottom left .

[Deleted]

Is that actually Peyton? Or just a guy who really resembles him?!?

[Mikey]

No, that's him. I think Cutcliffe had just been named Duke head football coach and he had Peyton and Eli down for the big ACC finale. Pretty sure Eli's to Peyton's right, just off picture.

[BC]

Okay, I was under the impression that if you use four years of eligibility in ANY sport it counted. So how does Paulus have any NCAA eligibilty left for football? Obviously my impression must be wrong, so does anyone know specifics?

[punk/core]

My cousin played water polo for four years, and then was on the rowing crew for her fifth. So I think like, you have five years of eligibility, but only four for a single given sport.

[Deleted]

Sounds like your cousin had 5 years of 8-)

Major Parker did the same thing for UF a few years back. Played 4 of basketball then 1 year of football at defensive end. I think he got into maybe 3 games.

[punk/core]

You obviously missed the part where I said "her."

[Deleted]

I did miss it. But that actually makes even MORE sense, now. ;D

Wait...SYRACUSE? Why would you go to Syracuse to play QB? That's like going to Oakland to be a possession receiver.

[Deleted]

Honestly? That's probably a better move for him than going to Michigan. If he looks decent but they don't win, he can blame it on the shitty-ass program and still possibly have some NFL teams looking at him. The Michigan program is being very scrutinized as is.
