I think he meant it in the terms of "Yeah I'd hit that"
In that respect, he hasn't been hit.

I am a follower of Jesus Christ first, a husband second and then a father of 2 men, and a father figure of kids in my church, I respect Tim Tebow as a man and then as a football player. I ask this question, would you want your daughter to marry someone like Tebow or some guy who has slept with many women, fathered other children and is a deadbeat? We have many other athletes who have fit into that second description of the question and they are considered heroes. Call it what you want in Tebow's case but his witness backs up what he proclaims.
Yes. It remains unlikely that I will concede anyone has gotten a solid hit on Tim Tebow. I just don't believe he's ever been challenged.
I'd like to believe that if he achieves anything further in his college career he's going to have to earn it. To that end, someone, somewhere is going to have to challenge him.
That's what I'm waiting anxiously to see. Someone on some team somewhere someday to rise to the challenge.
Looking forward to seeing it happen, too. :smile:
we wouldn't have these debates if Tebow played for BAMA. But since he's a gator, or probably any other team for that matter, people have to get their jabs in. Part of the rivalry of college football, I suppose.
Geez, how can you function with your head buried so deep in the sand? Tebow regularly bangs it in there between the tackles to move the chains. Matter of fact, that's what he did to start making a name for himself when he was a situational QB behind Leake and they won the NC in 06.
It's OK if you just hate the kid, that's your right, but it just makes you look foolish to say that he's never been hit.
I suspect quite a few of our own players would take issue with the guys claiming Tebow's 'never been hit'...
I've tried to hate this kid over and over again, but I just can't. He is a model of what I want my son to be. I think he promoted his faith even more by answering the question. Good for him. I know I wouldn't be if I were him judging by the pics of him and many, many HOT chicks.
Travis asked this question not caring about the answer. He wanted to be known as the guy who asked Tebow if he was a virgin. The answer was irrelevant to him, but the way Tebow answered it made it relevant.

I watched all of the same games you watched. Even if I were to concede that Tebow earned his Heisman, his share of two BCS trophies, and was blatantly robbed of a second Heisman Trophy last year; I am not obliged or inclined to concede one single accolade he hasn't earned in the 2009 season. His right to play his senior year doesn't automatically guarantee him anything.
I hope every player on every team he plays against raises their own level of play to match his level of play. I expect them to raise their play to match his play.
I guess your definition of a hit is different from mine but beyond that, you miss the point. If I were a defensive player I would never be satisfied with a hit. I would always feel like I'd just missed it. Furthermore, an admirer of Tebow will evaluate a hit on Tebow differently than someone that doesn't hold him in the same regard.
I will be watching to see if anyone is going to try to hit him, though.
Cause like you said, he regularly bangs it in there between the tackles.
I'm alright with you and me being different on this. I've disagreed with you on a lot of things. :biggrin2:
To the select Tebow haters,
Simple question: Wouldn't you rather hear about all the good things this man does than all the bad things other players do (TO, Pacman Jones, Mike Vick)?
Yeah, the media overdoes it, but it's better than other things athletes sometimes do.

Actually, maintaining virginity (for those who elect to do so) is at the apex of [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self_control"]self control[/ame]. Nevertheless, read the context carefully again in my paragraph (or pm me) before making implications that are not there.

I'll simply put it like this:
Anyone that can do what probably a majority of the human population can't is worthy of my respect.
Also, if more people did what he claims to have done (I have no proof, so I will qualify it as a claim), I do know that our society would have less problems.
We'd have fewer illegitimate children, hence fewer single mothers who are forced to hold multiple jobs or turn to government assistance just to put food on the table. This would almost certainly result in fewer families in poverty and improve, on average, the quality of life for everyone.
We wouldn't have millions dying of AIDS and other STDs and other millions having to spend huge amounts of money attempting to fight against those diseases.
It's the battle of making the correct decisions for our society versus our primal instincts to reproduce at high levels and we prove that, as a species, we're still not as advanced as we'd like to believe.

Peyton Manning was a a pillar of the community while in college, but I didn't see anyone on here singing his praises like St Tebow. Where was the love for him?:rolleye2:

In society today some people get more enjoyment watching someone fail rather than watching someone succeed in life. What would be the bigger story, finding out he is a virgin or catching him on a date with Destiny in Destin?
For Clay Travis to embarrass the kid in public to win a free dinner at Flemings and get a few laughs is unacceptable. It's none of his, mine or America's business what the young man does. I for one hope he never gets another media pass to any SEC sporting event ever.

That will be Clay's Swan Song in life. Some writers do not have a clue about what to ask or how to write. Clay Travis is one of them. Until last week no one knew who he was. Most still do not. :BigA:
Sports writers are slowly having to make sports more relavant than necessary. College Football in the South is King and the players have the reporters number. Just as Joe Namath did. So the embarrassment was not Tebow's but the reporter. Again Tebow looks like the White Knight who saves the day and Travis will walk off into the rain never to be heard from again. :biggrin:
