What if Tebow had come to Michigan?
We were pretty high on his list of teams, he obviously liked our QB coach...what if Urban had insulted his mother or something, and he had picked us?
Spent a year redshirted, then a year as the running QB behind Henne...played last year, this season, next...
How are things different?

Careful of overuse, though

The masked version on the other thread seemed less disconcerting
November 28th, 2009 at 6:45 PM ^
I suspect this post meant.....when you say Tom Hammond, you've said it all! Regardless, that scary ass visage is hypnotic.

that after Tebow scored his fifth touchdown today in his last game at the Swamp, he announced he was foregoing the NFL draft in order to instead ascend to heaven. The clouds then opened, a bright aura appeared around him and he rose into the ether.
Well, at least we can say we beat a deity during his Heisman year.

+100
This cracked me up, man.
I am so sick of Tebow-fest on CBS. I may have to cheer for Saban next week and I fucking hate Saban.

That was great live tv...the best part was when God tried to tackle Tebow...Tebow just ran right through that weak arm-tackling and took it into Heaven's endzone (incidentally, the endzone in heaven has Michigan painted in). Then he banished God to hell for poor tackling. And now he has taken over as the Lord Almighty himself and eradicated all disease, war, the Ohio State Buckeyes and installed a playoff system into college football. He's working on trying to save Charlie Weis' job, but he isn't that powerful yet.

Tebow + Michigan + Lloydball = Fullback
November 28th, 2009 at 7:02 PM ^
I think LB.
November 28th, 2009 at 7:06 PM ^
John Navarre sort of throws a wrench into that theory...
November 29th, 2009 at 10:10 PM ^
You beat me to it by several hours. Well played!
November 28th, 2009 at 6:48 PM ^
They just discussed him visiting Michigan back in the day right when I opened this...I'm guessing most people on this blog wouldn't hate Tebow if this had occurred. Just a hunch. That being said, he didn't pick us and now it is annoying as hell to watch him play.
November 28th, 2009 at 7:04 PM ^
I don't think many people hate Tebow himself, they hate the coverage of Tebow.
November 28th, 2009 at 7:28 PM ^
...that's really what I meant.
November 28th, 2009 at 8:53 PM ^
I would most definitely hate Tebow less if he was on our team, but if he was getting all of that hype and attention, I would probably be at least slightly annoyed.
November 29th, 2009 at 1:11 PM ^
Were you annoyed when Matt Millen slobbered all over Tate in the ND game?
November 28th, 2009 at 6:56 PM ^
If Tebow had gone to Michigan he would have healed Chad Henne's separated shoulder with his magical healing powers.
November 28th, 2009 at 6:59 PM ^
This will be the official college football media theme song after Tebow turns pro:
It's so sad to lose the man you love. HAHA
November 28th, 2009 at 7:22 PM ^
I believe there were not nearly enough uncircumcised ding a lings in the state of Michigan for him.
November 28th, 2009 at 7:36 PM ^
Justin Boren spends 15 minutes with him, which changes his life forever.
He's convinced Michigan's family values to be impeccable, the Freep never writes that story to sell more papers, and they go out of business sooner.
Damn, what could have been.
November 28th, 2009 at 8:00 PM ^
Could Boren corrupt even Tebow?
November 28th, 2009 at 8:18 PM ^
visit, Tebow was never a serious Michigan recruit, it was Florida or Bama all the way.
November 28th, 2009 at 8:22 PM ^
If Tebow came to UM then all of the attention he gets on this blog would be justified.
November 28th, 2009 at 10:09 PM ^
If he had come to Michigan Urban Meyer would not be as highly thought of.
November 28th, 2009 at 10:13 PM ^
had gone to Florida? would he have had to be the back up?
November 28th, 2009 at 10:18 PM ^
Tebow would be Jesus and Boren is the Judas.
We go on to win the National Championship in RichRod's first year and start a 10 year BCS National Championship winning streak.
November 28th, 2009 at 10:28 PM ^
That redshirt year would have enabled a lot of extra 5 or 20 minute segments to make many lives better in Ann Arbor.
November 29th, 2009 at 1:16 PM ^
It's interesting to think that we wanted him badly, because it doesn't seem like he would have been a great fit in Lloyd's offense. Would Lloyd have changed the offense to fit his talents?
I'm not sure if we would have used him as a running QB behind Henne. Lloyd wasn't into situational QB usage. He probably wouldn't have played until 2008 (Henne's injuries aside). It would have been fun to watch him the past two years instead of going with freshmen and a walk-on. Oh well.
