The Corndogs crank-calling forced Tim Tebow to change cell phones [ESPN]. Now we understand why Tim wept after the game, his cellular bill was going to be astronomical. Tim also knew that the Bull Gator Slush Fund was depleted after monies were expended on a new tow truck for Watsons Towing.
“It’s absolutely insane,” Tebow’s father, Bob Tebow said. “It’s egregious. [Messages] were pouring in. He would not tell me all the stuff. He told his brothers and they told me some, but they wouldn’t tell me everything.”
Just how did the corndogs get his phone number? Was it off of the wall in a Ocala Cafe Risque bathroom, written by a Defensive Back claiming to have a ‘wide stance ’?
Look, I’m all for bashing Florida, but a line must be drawn someplace. Next thing you know, fans will be calling towing companies and threatening to kill witnesses….
Coach Urban Meyer said the ordeal made him concerned for his players’ safety. He also gave Tebow a quick and easy way to handle the situation.
“It’s easy to just get rid of your phone, like getting changing out a defensive back with legal problems” Meyer said. “I told Tim ‘Just dump it and get another one.’”
jai:“OK, this is the last post about Tebow and Florida’s losing streak”
the lack of originality has hit a new low, complete with the same pic being used twice in about 18 hours.
It was a great picture
You left hthis out:
The phone calls and text messages from LSU fans started arriving about Tuesday. When the calls kept coming in and it became obvious that this was going to go on all week, Tebow got the old cell phone turned off and got a new phone and a new number.
After Tuesday’s practice, Tebow said that some of the calls were funny and actually good natured. It was the ones that were sexually explicit and threatening — the ones that Tebow’s dad, Bob Tebow, called “horrible” — that went way past fans having a little bit of fun.
Tim won’t go into detail about the calls, only to say, “I really don’t use that type of language too much.” He added that “some people did take it way too hard, farther than you should take it with sports.”
He insists the cell phone gesture was his way of responding back to the fans, particularly the good natured ones.
“They were just having fun with me and I was having fun with them too,” he said. “That’s what college football is all about. I had fun with it. I know I got under their skin a little bit.”
“this”
I dunno, Gerry…
It’s kind of flattering that Jai gives the Gates so much exposure on a suppoosedly UT site…
The Meyer, Joiner, Tebow and Company have gotten more attention here than Tennessee’s win over UGA last weekend…
And the fact that Phil has his gals in the driver’s seat for the SEC East…
But yet he’d rather Gator bash than gloat over that…
Making it pretty obvious that his butt is still stinging from the 59 points UF hung on the Vulva-teers last month…
I’ll be glad when Tebow leaves college football so we never have to hear from his father again.
“OK, this is the last post about Tebow and Florida’s losing streak”
He didn’t mention the losing streak
lsu football,
he’s not only his father….he’s also his high school teacher/principle/counselor.
Didn’t Bob get into a scuffle with Leak’s dad last year?
Uh…
No…
And just for the record…
The local Cafe Risque is in Micanopy…
Not Ocala…
Great work, jai.
I suppose I wouldnt like the view from 3rd in the east, either.
Enjoy the Capital One Bowl, gators.
