Tebow's would win.
Tim has been gifted for a long, long time. He's been the star on the field since he was able to take the field. I've known kids with 1/3 of his ability (actually less than that) with egos that dwarf Tim himself (and Tim is a big boy). Yet somehow Tebow remains pure of all that.
I've had the pleasure of meeting him out and about several times in Gainesville. Twice on campus and twice in bars...yes bars. However, I have NEVER seen Tim drink. Not once. Not ever. He just hangs in the back of the bar with that big grin that we've all come to love and greet those who come to have their pics with the "chosen one." But he is gracious about his celebrity. He doesn't expect people to adore him...he accepts the attention and gives back as if he is thankful and wants to do something for those who admire him.

I don't get it. I don't think I ever will.
In a day and age where young celebrities go Lohan and Brittney on the regular, it is shocking to see someone of Tebow's stature remain so down to earth.
GD said during our game against the TOW that he would let Tebow marry his daughter. Guess what...after meeting him, I would too...and I'm a long way from having a daughter.
I could tell you negative stuff about half our team. It's not hard to learn, just go to Rehab or Rue Bar any night of the week. But I can't name one person who has a negative thing to say about Tebow.
We at UF were very blessed to experience the uniqueness of the '04s. I thought we would never see anything like that again. But we are witnessing something like that now. A one-man '06...Tim Tebow.
Tebow has the physical gifts of Hercules, the work ethic of a man half his size, the ego of neglected middle child, and the heart of a puppy.
He's a once in a generation type of player at a school that has been doubly blessed this generation.
Sit back, watch in awe, and enjoy....oh...and relish in the fact that you can say you were there when...
