I'm Shocked

OK, Florida won... but it was much closer than I predicted (but then again, much more lopsided that the experts in Vegas predicted).

Gotta love that kid Tebow... man, he's tough, he's smart, he's athletic, he's a gunslinger, and he just seems to be a good kid.

Yeah, I know... he got that Unsportsmanlike late in the game... well, in his defense:

• It was late in the game, and the first down he had just made sealed the victory... so it didn't cost his team.
• It was obvious that some Sooner a-hole was talking trash (as they had all game, as the had since the end of the regular season: Tebow only the "fourth" best QB in the Big-12?), so he was responding, not gloating.
• Tebow was backing away from his trash-talker (or would that be trash-talkee) when he did the Gator chomp (as opposed to getting in the guy's face... or giving the throat-slashing gesture...) so this just seemed a way to say "scoreboard, beeeyotch".

You can only imagine that after the season the kid had (after the loss at Ole' Miss, and his impassioned speech that followed; after the Heisman folks gave the award to Bradford [pretty much a "system" QB]) and after the game he had (carrying the Gators on his back when the game counted most... as he's done his entire career), he was just ready to burst. And burst he did.

And I don't blame him a bit. And about Tebow, I am most certainly NOT shocked.
