Am I that big an asshole, or p@ssy, that I would not come in and give the 'Bama fans their due? Would have posted yesterday but I watched the game from my hospital bed where I was laid up for 5 days.

Actually, I will still be rooting for the SEC to retain the National Championship, as hard as that may seem to believe.

I still believe in you! Regardless of your insistence on rooting for the Gators!! Oh well, could be worse, you could have been rooting for Auburn!!! But, of course, you know I'm kidding! And any Auburn fan that knows me also knows I like Auburn, except for that ONE Saturday in November (and I like most other SEC teams, except when they play Bama - Tennessee excepted). That's very much like you are, root for your team, NOT against the other team. Makes much better fan base.

I have to say that I'm not a big Tebow fan. It has nothing to do with his religious beliefs/activities. I just think that he showed a total lack of class when he broke his verbal commitment to Alabama by waiting until the Bama coach showed up and meeting him at the door wearing Florida hat and jersey. That was a total embarrassment to the Bama coach, and no apology has ever been issued that I know of. I understand why Tebow changed his mind, and I don't have an issue with that. I have an issue with how he chose to convey that information to Alabama! From Tebow's standpoint, he made the correct choice, because there is no way Bama would have built a team totally around him like Meyers did. Bama has never been a "one person" program. I do not think Tebow would have the recognition he has today if he had played at Bama instead of Florida.

I have to say that I am very disappointed in anyone who takes glee in the fact that he was crying after the loss!! That shows a total lack of class, IMO. Anyone who is as big of a football fan, as Tebow is a Gator player, has to recognize the emotions that go into the game. Especially for players that are oftentimes still in their teens or early 20's! I would have expected a great show of emotions if Bama had lost. Hey, that's SEC football!

I do wonder what the Gators are going to do next year. They returned all but one or two starters this year, but won't have that luxury next year. It'll be interesting watching the recruiting this year.

I have to say Roll Tide, or else I wouldn't be much of an alumni or fan, now would I.

As to the doubts of ANYONE about Tom's trustworthiness, GET A GRIP/LIFE/CLUE (take your pick).

And Tom........ Get Well Soon. Better yet, get out of that hospital ASAP. People die in those places, even if they are not sick when they enter!
