On Saturday afternoon, it won't be another game day in Gainesville. Saturday's game versus Florida State is much more meaningful. It will be the final game of Tim Tebow at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.
Four years ago, Tim Tebow's choice of college was between Alabama and his child-hood dream school, Florida. It wasn't easy for Tebow; crying and not knowing what to do. One day prior to the anouncement, Tebow spent twelve hours talking to then Tide coach Mike Shula. Urban Meyer thought he had no chance of getting Tebow to become a Gator.
Singing Day came, and coach Meyer refused to watch Tebow's nationally televised pick. Instead, he went outside to play catch with his son. His wife and two daughters went screaming outside to tell Meyer of the surprise pick. The QB from Nease High School officially became a Florida Gator.
In his freshmen year, Tebow became a goal line specialist and help the Gators win a national championship for the first time in a decade.
Ever since, it has been a Heisman trophy, Maxwell's, four NCAA records, 12 SEC records and two dozen school records.
After four years, two Southeastern Conference championships, two national titles, and a chance to lead the program to its first perfect season, the top-ranked Gators may be ready to name him "The Greatest One."
