Tim Tebow is up
- "No, I don't know who did not vote for me."
- "We've had the best off-season we've had since I've been at University of Florida."
- On dealing with the spotlight by coming back to college: "I don't look at it as bad. I look at it as a blessing. I can wear something under my eyes and 90 million people will Google it. I wanted to come back and finish this thing strong."
- On the backlash of so much attention: "You would like to go to a restaurant without reporters or people taking pictures. There's a lot of positive. There have been a lot of great things. There have been a lot of people who have been encouraged to not have an abortion because of the story of my mom. A lot of people have been encourage. I hope the stories have been an encouragement and not a hindrance on anybody."
- On what the NFL people have told him: "They said very kind things. I was very humbled. That wasn't much of my decision factor (to return to school). It's something I looked at because Coach Meyer wanted me to do that. (Going to the NFL early) wasn't enough to give up the University of Florida. I don't know what would have been."
- On not being a unanimous choice for the All-SEC team: "I'm a pretty self-motivated person. I'm not going to run sprints thinking about a coach who didn't vote for me."
- On Meyer's (alleged) new-school style: "If you look at our team, it's not about a dink-and-dunk down the field. We could do three-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust stuff. We have the toughness to do that. We take pride in that."
- "Our mindset is not to go undefeated. We're not going to be heart-broken because we have a loss and still win the national championship. We'll take that."
- On not playing Ole Miss this season: "We're not worried about facing Ole Miss or getting revenge or anything like that. We're worried about getting to Atlanta."
- Should we go ahead and give LSU fans your phone number now?: "I know they'll be rowdy and ready to go when we get there."
- Why can Mullen be successful at MSU: "His enthusiasm is going to create more enthusiasm. It'll make them hungry. I'll miss our little traditions. The little Friday games we played before the games. I'll miss that."
THAT'S A WRAP. That concludes Day Two of SEC Media Days.

I would just like to take the time to say Tim Tebow, Tim Tebow, and Tim Tebow. And by the way, Tim Tebow.
Talk about substance
Welcome, Schofunk! I don't know what your name means, but I dig it.
Who wants to play musical threads??
Roethlisberger press conference at 2 today if anyone is interested?
I'm confused, is it Saban or Tebow that is the Messiah?
I'll play with you.
It's been a great day not getting any work done following all the hooplah here on HABOTN and elsewhere.
Funk is a state of mind, ya know.
Michael - I'm guessing that's code for "substance".
DL shouldn't have to work so hard :-(
I like it. Lowered knows we can use more Funk on the HABOTN! Glad you're here.
Funk- welcome first of all, secondly, it's just an odd first post, maybe you've posted more, hell, maybe you are Michael's alter ego :). HABOTN is in a funk today, or i'm in a funk. Probably a little of both.
check it out now...funk soul brotha.
welcome schofunk!
Goddess. love it.
just play that funky music, white boy
I could go for some funky cold medina
wow, posts are disappering from the prior thread almost as quickly as they are appearing here.
Eddie, what was so odd about his first post exactly? I must have missed it.
Kristina - it was laced with potentially factual but undesirable opinion
Dear Lord, thou hast had enuff Tebow for thine year.
by "undesirable" I mean not what we want to happen.
Ill talk to you guys later today.
We are just wanting to be the best we can be, as all you people should be. Everybody has a little Tebow in them and should look to express that Tebow. Be the best Tebow you can be.
That's what I was thinking, THT.
I haven't been on a lot lately I admit, but it seems like the last few days there have been several "you didn't say something good about Auburn, you must be a bammer" posts. Not very HABOTN-y or at least what HABOTN used to be.
Later EZ
I think Urban Meyer meant Dooley told him to tell that Bear joke. I wish I had heard the whole thing!
Kneels and looks with stars in his eyes up at the goodness that is Tebow
Jay, could you ask Tebow how to spell potatoes?
I'm glad that Tim Tebow has the foreskin - excuse me, I mean, foresight -- to be self motivated.
every blog post is better when you add a little Tebow.
MORE TEBOW! MORE TEBOW!
oh my goodness, Jet
I didn't find anything odd about funk's first post ... or anything since then.
Auburn has flaws. Discussing them rationally is one of the things we do at the HABOTN.
Tebow=cowbell
Which explains the Ole Miss victory
Does anyone know when Bible study will end and Tebow will answer some questions?
or is that Miss State?
I think Tim Tebow is fantastic. I sure wish I was like him, even minus the football.
Could everyone please hush. I'm trying to listen to Tebow's views on abortion at the SEC media event.
Tebow for President in 2024!!!
For the record, I am seeking nominations for a new honorific to require people to use in front of my name. I'll choose a winner at a later date.
Sincerely,
"_________ Jet"
and he cares about the inmates nobody else cares about
STOP THE TEBOW HATE!
Jet. There is only one choice.
Guvnah.
THT - Tebow should pick $aban as his running mate. That'd be a winner for sure.
Goddess - you shouldn't bring up such topics on a friendly blog. Take it back woman.
Keep Hate Alive.
It wasn't my first post.
I have sensed some edginess among AU folks lately. TEveryone should watch this Joe Cocker video of his Woodstock performance of "With A Little Help From My Friends" with subtitles. It's sure to lift some spirits.
http://www.boingboing.net/2009/04/02/joe-cocker-with-subt.html
in case it isn't clear, i love me some Timmy Tebow. nothing i post is a negative about that guy. i wish he was my brother-in-law.
secondly, i nominate "Supreme Chancellor Jet", or a simpler "Councilman Jet".
Reed, Seastruk, Dyer, Dixon, Hurad (?) will be at AU come signing day.
Be bold and step out. Unlike Longshore and McKnight (two losers in Montgomery) I'll stand by that statement until I retract it.
First, I thought that said, "Take it, black woman." Then I laughed.
Second, take what back?
Every time I hear or see "Tebow" a little bit of my soul dies.
"I'd like to run over Saban in a Jet"
I just can't buy in to all of the UF love by the pundits and media...
Things are almost TOO good for UF this year to be true. I have a sneaking feeling that it is all going to implode on them at some point during the season...
How about a new suffix Jet? something like Jetbow perhaps
Hey, I admitted I was in a funk. Lots of time away from the family and all work will do that to a person. If you haven't gotten your comment in on my funk comment, then please do so now so I can go enjoy a Funky Cold Medina!
WTC it's because you have the calves and lats that Longshore and McNight will never have.
Way to step out there!
The 2009 Florida hype reminds me of 2005 USC hype. It didn't get them until the end...
Your 1:18 post.
What about All Being of Time Space and Dimension Jet. Okay so its a little long.
I just can't get over the fact that UF has 21 out of their top 22 players back on defense. Unbelievable.
ohhhh...Tebow said it, not me!
UF, Texas, OU and others are the reasons Bammer won't win an MNC this year. They seem to omit those folks when speaking of the upcoming season.
They don't want any part of me.
SO the Grant commit makes headlines on AL.com and our 4* commit doesn't. no media bias there either
Yeah, don't beat up on Eddie! Sheesh. Say no to the drama. Football is nigh!
LaDarius Owens is set to announce next Friday. Should be good news for our Tigers.
HAHAHA @ "they don't want any part of me"
I can so hear you saying that.
I moved the Goodwin story to the top of the blog. Feel free to post there as well.
Thread overload. I think my head is about to explode.
Sports Writer Tate - please don't encourage double-thread posting. I can't keep up and it may tend to confuse my tiny brain.
FOOOOOOOTBALLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
ok I'm better now.
Everyone to the other thread!
depressed- so what? Look at all the players we have back on offense.
I think I'm gonna fast and pray until the OL's start committing.
schofunk, I hope these folks weren't too intolerant of you. Many of them know me here and know that I am very tolerant of anyone that agrees with me.
