So, Tebow had John 16:33 under his eyes for the game. Here is one googled translation:

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

What was Tebow trying to say? Did it have anything to do with the football game? Just a random bible quote?

Anyone know?

I believe Tebow just picks a favorite verse of his own to display each week. Not random, but not a direct meaning to the football game at hand.

I like Tebow as a person, no doubt. He knows lots of people watch him each week so he uses that space to advertise his faith in a subtle way. Gets people curious and they end up looking it up as you did.

everyone that hates on tebow is a jealous, hate-filled fool.

kids made nothing but all the right decisions in his life, and he has to get ripped on for crying after losing the national championship.

No you're right. Any of us would have cried, too, had we been in that position. I think it's just the fact that the media has been SO OBSESSED with Tebow for years and has constructed a super-human image of him--Gator Nation loves him, while everyone else is so hypersaturated with the TebowLoveFest we're happy his reign is coming to an end.

He did great things for Florida and if I were a Florida Gator, I, too, would be sad the Tebow years are over.

MGoJen- That's weird, it normally works for me (I have FF on Vista). The img url is also under "Properties." I didn't reply directly to you so you can edit your comment in case you don't want to leave a link to your facebook lying around :]

And here's the Capital One Bowl pic in all its Tebow Jesus glory!

I understand that people are annoyed with all the publicity Tebow gets, but I think it's stupid when people hate him for it. There are a lot of college and even pro athletes who cry after championship losses and if it were anyone else this wouldn't even be a story. If this was a Michigan player crying we would probably be applauding him for his passion. I think that Tebow is a great player and a great person as well. People shouldn't hate him just because some people blow him out of proportion. I thought Tebow handled the loss with a lot of class. The first thing he did in the post-game interview, literally less than a minute after the game had ended, was congratulate Alabama and praise their players and coaches.

Am I the only one who doesn't think it's funny?

It doesn't make sense.

Yes, cried rhymes with died, the whole Tebow/Jesus thing, ha ha, but it just seems like a really forced attempt at humor because "he cried for our sins"... what does that even mean?
