1. Well, he's crying and thanking God..

I wonder if the Tebow haters will now go after Ingram?

I was hoping Tebow would get it.

6. Yeah, mine too..

I guess leading the nation in rushing and TDs just wasn't enough...though I get the distinct impression that if Gerhart played for a high profile program, like an Alabama, he would have won easily.

9. I really thought Gerhart was going to get it...

But my son being a 'Bama grad, I was happy to see Ingram get it.

Coach he won it in 2007

Coach he won it in 2007

I know, but I wanted him to win it a second time, and this was his last chance.

I see there's a lot of bitching and whining and moaning and groaning about "media overexposure" and "media hype" regarding Tebow, but remember, I'm immune from that, and looked only at the figures and competitors.

I agree with coach. Although I detest the Florida Gators, and cannot imagine how a person such as Tebow could associate with them, he's an outstanding young man, and this is likely to be the last opportunity for him on the national stage. I really don't see how his style of play can translate to the NFL. Maybe DUmmy cboy4 will explain that.
