Coach Meyer about to take the podium at SEC media days......
on ESPNU

 

[O-town Gator]

Do they have live streaming video we can see online?

 

[MahxFahn]

I don't think so, I just did a quick search.............
Tebow is on now!

 

[O-town Gator]

Perhaps I can catch it later tonight on ESPNU if they rerun his interview

That guy could be making a decent living right now as a Motivational Speaker. SOS and lame tomorrow.

Boy, that ought to be interesting (LOL).

According to somebody over at GC, some clown asked Tebow if he was saving himself for marriage to which he answered, "What does that have to do with football?"

And then they wonder why the public has such a negative impression of the media? Sheesh.

Aside from the fact that I can't stomach Adelson at the "Slantinel", here's a link to some of the questions posted to Coach Meyer:

GC has a transcript of Meyer's interview with the media: http://www.gatorcountry.com/football/article/sec_media_day_2_quotes_urban_meyer/6733

(OK, Meyer didn't vote for Tebow but before somebody chews him out, in the SEC coaches weren't allowed to vote for their own players in the all-SEC balloting.)

I didn't here the marriage question, must have been off camera. I did here pat dooley waste his question though, asking if Tim remembered what he told the defense in a game. Tim couldn't remember what he said but in true TT fashion said that whatever it was it came from the heart and was meant to motivate.

Some blogger named Clay Travis (who, I've read, is a UcheaT fan) asked him that question.

Let others say what they want about Tim Tebow, but one thing he's not is a hypocrite. As silly as that question was, at least he answered it honestly.

(Recap of Meyer's speech w/ video: http://www.gatorsports.com/article/20090723/ARTICLES/907239923/1136?Title=Gators-No-1-goal-SEC-title#)

Aside from that nincompoop prying into Tebow's personal life in that other interview (he wasn't present at the presser shown in ESPN last night), I was impressed with how poised Tim was at the mike, and how well he handled what was, at times, the idiocy of the media. What really irritated me was how a couple of them were trying to put words into his mouth, but he gave then HIS own answer to the questions posed.

Meyer also presented himself with CLASS (loved that tie he had on; at closeup it looks like an alligator-skin design); also in his speech shown on ESPNU last night he made mention of the prime receuiting territory surrounding Gainesville, as well as the power trend shifting to the south. He knows he's in a place where he can continue to win, and I'm convinced he's here at UF for the long run!

Came across this "free" GC article; I love the fact that Buddy Martin's still firing mortar rounds at that assclown Finebaum: http://www.gatorcountry.com/football/article/martin_chronicles_the_noise/6738)
