Ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha!

Skank!

“Why have you forsaken me” is exactly what I yelled at the TV at that moment.

By games end his running eye-black read 666…

Colt is going to have Ezekiel 25:17 under his eyes against Bama.

He almost predicted the right score.

He bawled like a woman. It was embarrassing.

Did anyone else see all of those circumsized foreskins on his wrists??

Honestly, I file this under the “perfectly acceptable male crying” category.

Acceptable male crying includes glazed stare with single tear down cheek. Tebow was openly weeping (mouth open, head convulsing).

Did anyone else hear the CBS announcer say that when Spikes and Tebow met on a recruiting trip it was a “When Harry Met Sally” kinda moment?

I burst out laughing when I saw Tebow crying and one of the other Florida players petting the side of Tebow’s head.

This has to begin a whole new genre of Tebow jokes. “This is what Florida calls their no-cuddle offense”.

Nordberg:

If Colt does that, he officially moves right to the top of my “Awesome Guy” list.

The game was over for 8 minutes before he started crying. It took all his faith and courage to save his tears for the end.

The only two times in life it is acceptable for a man to cry:

1. Long bone fracture.

2. The dance at the end of Footloose.

It is okay to get misty while listening to other songs featuring the dulcet tones of Kenny Loggins, however outright crying is not allowed.

His tears became salt water springs, guaranteeing that nothing will ever again grow on the cursed ground that shamed him.

But seriously, and maybe this is just me, I felt really bad for the kid. It’s not his fault everyone has been jocking him and he is very clearly a really good kid.

Dude has a Heisman and 2 national championships and he was bawling like this mother just died. The word douchebag comes to mind.

ghost, he’s a douche. All of the lead-up to the game, all he said was “MY team this, and MY team that.” There was no “us” or “we” in his verbiage, and frankly I’m sick of the over-animation on the sidelines and thankful we all won’t have to see it much more, if at all.

Now he can go out, beat Cincy, and get drafted too high and end up playing fullback. Awesome.

Doperbo – add one more: Old Yeller.

(Admit it.)

But seriously, and maybe this is just me, I felt really bad for the kid. It’s not his fault everyone has been jocking him and he is very clearly a really good kid.

And Tiger Woods was very clearly a family man.

The lesson being that we have no idea what Tim Tebow is really all about. I’m not saying he’s really a prima donna douchebag that has been propped up by a fabricated persona created by his handlers and fed by the media. I’m saying we don’t know for a fact that it’s not the case.

From my Twitter feed when this happened:

RT @jonesh4 RT @DatBoiTony: John 11:35 – Jesus Wept ….<—-GNR!!

Fair enough, fair enough.

Now, other than paying street agents, what can we roundly mock Alabama about for the next month? Because with Mangino and Tebus out of the picture, we need a ceremonial pinata here at BC. Someone who can be regularly, and hilariously, pilliored. Mt. Cody is fat, but not hilariously fat. Ingram is just a running back. I’m thinking it’s going to have to be about Saban. Help me out here.

It’s acceptable to weep during Brian’s Song. Was Brian’s Song on? I didn’t see it on.

Otherwise, man up, call Brandon Spikes a pussy and march off the field.

And I believe my txt to a buddy was “Tebow wants to know why God isn’t answering his calls”

Texas’ O-line should do Exodus 14:21 (parting of the Red Sea), but 14:27 may be more apt.

Don’t worry about Tebow…..he’ll be back on his knees in no time!

Wasn’t he crying after the Ole Miss loss too? When I was a kid, crying when you lose was called poor sportsmanship, and I probably would have gotten whooped for it. Yet the media spins it off as saying “he has so much heart” and “he’s such a competitor”. Bullshit.

“Dude has a Heisman and 2 national championships and he was bawling like this mother just died. The word douche bag comes to mind.”

That and he has good looking chicks body painting his initials on their labial areas, the dude has nothing to cry about!

Competitors don’t cry when they lose. They get angry.

“2. The dance at the end of Footloose.”

Excellent, nordberg.

I think the isolating himself and taking a knee for the camera is what rubbed me the wrong way. He is the great leader and he doesn’t spend these moments with his guys, he pouts. He could have cemented the myth about his leadership by going among his teammates and bucking them up even in defeat.

Maybe it’s because I’m a few generations removed from these kids, but sports was as much about learning to face defeat as it was about putting forth a maximum effort to win. Nobody goes undefeated in life, and eventually we all run out of time. I’ll hop off the soapbox now.

I cried twice as hard as that when I watched Big Fish. Twice.

Fair point, Roma. As one who did a fair amount of crying and tantrum throwing in defeat as a kid, I can absolutely say that was the value of the experience for me. It takes a while to learn to go Rudyard Kipling and treat those two imposters just the same. Ask Bo Pelini.

I tire of the deification of Tebow by the media as much as anyone else. In fairness, he is still a kid. So, the emotional outburst doesn’t bug me that much. Hopefully, he’ll learn.

That said, ghost is absolutely right about the need for a BC pinata to replace Tebow. I like the possibilities offered by Saban. There is a guy whose eye-black should read 666.

Texas is 7-0-1 against Alabama. I’m certainly going to make fun of them for that.

Not sure it counts as “making fun of”, but the first time I hear an Alabama fan tell me we got lucky, I’m going to remind them how lucky they were that Mike Price had a thing for prostitutes.

Huck makes a great point about not really knowing someone.

Tebow may be a fantastic person, but read between the lines, and you can tell that Colt doesn’t care for him. I don’t know Colt personally, either, but I think that’s pretty telling.

Also, how do you italicize a sentence when you’re trying to re-quote someone???

Then there’s that.

Italics —> Whatever you want italicized

Without the spaces.

meh. Italicized

without the underlines or spaces.

For Fuck’s sake, why does it have to be so hard here? Google HTML tags and “italicize”.

For the gray italicized font like I used above, put blockquote between these < >

Then /blockquote between them at the end.

Someone tell Sailor Ripley that he’s making it hard for Mike.

I’m in the middle, and BOLD!

Damn it! What happened to my middle!?

With all the crying Tebow has done, maybe he’s been Italiacized.

Booyah!

I’ll be performing 2 shows nightly on the lido deck all week. Be sure to tip your waiters on the way out.

I will make fun of him for it, but I also can understand it.

My take on it is not that he is crying or throwing a tantrum because he lost. Its more of a sadness over realizing that you will never again have a shot at something important to you (NC in his case). Ever. In the rest of your life.

Realizing that is toug.

I’m just over 5’8" and white. There was no way I was going to walk on at UT. I knew this. But when it was clear after a loss that we couldn’t make it to the play offs on tie breakers I cried a bit. I realized I was done playing football. Forever.

It is tough to deal with. At least he will get the opportunity to keep palying. And make millions of dollars. So I don’t feel bad for making fun of him.

What the fuck is going on

here?

italics->I’m just over 5′8″ and white. There was no way I was going to walk on at UT.

Quitter

I’m sure BC will get plenty of miles out of Saban. Branching out a bit, notable non-athletic alumni include Bernie Madoff, Timothy Leary, Rece Davis and Winston Groom.

damn it worked.

We really should have gathered those tears. They cure cancer…

My HTML induced quasi-meltdown up thread aside, I can already see the use of text formatting tabs exploding in the very near future.

We’ll have italics, boldface,

blockquote

Or maybe not. I am guessing that about 50% of the above will actually apply. Not getting too much done at the office today.

Ditto on the not office thing. Interesting bit from Verne Lundquist after the game.

Seeing Tim Tebow humbled like that transformed what I thought was a real high point of my broadcast career, that being my pre-game description of the Gators’ QB, into the most humiliating bukake scene of all time.

At which point Lou Holtz predicted that Tim Tebow will be the next coach of Notre Dame, with use the combined power of the Pope and the Trinity to grant himself extra years of eligibility, and will player/coach Notre Dame to 15 national championships in a row.

Lou Holtz saying that much is a bukake scene of a whole different variety.

If it is not ok to cry when;

1) Goose dies
2) When Cole Trickle says “This one’s for you Harry.”
3) When he goes yard at the end of The Natural.

Then I am not a man.

If it is not ok too cry at the end of To Wong Fu, Thanks from Julie Newmar, then Vasherized is not a man.

Alright, I’m going to try this italics think one more time.

Does Marley and Me apply here?

Screw healing the sick. Dump those tears into Barton Springs or pour them out on South Congress, to bring the hookers back.
