Dear Tim,
You and all of your teammates have proven what it means to be a team. You have made each other, your coaches, and the entire gator nation a family and have made the program so much more important that just the winning of games. I think the most valuable lesson you teach is to lead by example and you proved that especially this weekend at Atlanta. Its not life and death, and you wont always win, but you hold your head high and stand proudly next to your family, sticking together ‘in all kinds of weather.’ I am and always will be very proud to be a Gator. Thank you for everything you’ve done and accomplished and pushed others to do. I hope some day you end up back at home…teaching and leading as you always have. GO GATORS!!!!

Dear Tim,

Agreeing with everyone else, I too appreciate all of the hard work and dedication you have put into this program and school. The University of Florida is an awesome school, and you make me proud to be a gator.

In addition, I would like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Tebow for creating such a gorgeous human being. Speaking on behalf of women everywhere, football has never been so enjoyable to watch. If the Heisman was based on looks, you would win every year!!

You will be successful in whatever you chose in your future, especially if you want to continue your modeling career with GQ (which I prefer).

Thank You Tebow!

Dear Tim,

Thank you so much for making my Gator football experience better than I could have ever imagined. Nothing gives me quite the same feeling as walking into the Swamp, and you helped create that atmosphere. I am a senior this year, too, and am so happy I got to be here during your college career. I really feel like God blessed me by giving me the best four years a Gator fan could ask for.

Thank you for reminding me to be intentional about sharing my faith. Your love of Jesus has inspired me, encouraged me, and challenged me.

I am a better football fan, a better Gator, and a better follower of Jesus because of the example you have set.

Thank you!

I have enjoyed watching Gator football for the last 30 years, but the last four years have been extra special. I am not a fair weather fan, and it hasn’t been extra special because the Gators have been winning. You have made it extra special. You have brought a new spark to Gator football that hasn’t been here since Danny was here. I know you have been compared to Danny a lot, but truth be told, I think you inspired your team and fans more than Danny did and it was truly amazing to see the excitement for everyone to see what scripture you would have on your eye black. But what I loved the most was to see your smile and the twinkle in your eyes when you talk about your family, your coaches, your fans, your God. You are an amazing young man and you will be missed by so many people for so many different reasons. You are a gift from God, and I thank him and you for all of the memories.

Timmy – Thank you for reminding us what a student athlete is supposed to be like. Thank you for sharing your faith unabashedly. Thank you for modeling Christ’s message in all you do. Thank you for living Christ’s challenge daily. Thank you for the most entertaining 4 years of college football that anyone will ever witness, I believe. God Bless you in all your endeavors.

Thanks, Tim, for an incredibly inspiring 4years. Thanks for showing us how to win like a champion, both on and off the field. And thank you for showing us after the SEC championship how to accept defeat like a champion, as well. It is not in our victories, but our defeats that our character and fortitude is proven. Through your tears, you held your head up and humbly and respectfully gave credit to your opponent for being the better team that day.

Thanks, Tim, for being the example. Your accomplishments on the field are surpassed only by what you’ve done off of it. God bless and go Gators!

Dear Tim,

Thanks so much for all the entertainment you have provided. UF will dearly miss your passion for the game. It is hard to find such a leader, such a team player and such a nice human being…all rolled into one.
You are a role model. Never ever hamper your image.
May God bless you in all your further endeavors.

Tim,

You are such an amazing young man both on the field and off. You have made the last four years of GATOR football special for so many people. I have been a GATOR fan since 1966 and you have truly been one of the most wonderful players to watch. Your leadership, faith and sportsmanship have truly made you THE MOST SPECIAL single player that I can remember. Good luck in whatever you decide to do whether it be the NFL or working with your family. Hopefully one day you will come back to us fans at UF as a GATOR Coach? What a wonderful circle that would be for you and for Florida.

You will be missed on Saturdays at the Swamp but will forever be in my heart and mind as I root on future GATORS.

Godspeed Tim – you have truly blessed many and are truly a blessing yourself.

Score: 17, Jamie : The only reason I’m okay with graduating college is because you’re leaving too. Timmy, I want to thank you for the best 4 years of my life. I truly have had an amazing time in college because of what you’ve brought to this university. You have showed me that good people do exist and you continue to show the whole world that every single day. I wish you the best of luck in the NFL and I hope you continue to do great things. I will always be proud to wear the #15 and will continue to do so until the end of time. Thank you for being an inspiration to me and I hope to see you…
Score: 16, James Brooks : Thank you Tim, not just for what you have done for us on the field but for what you have done for the Gator Nation. Your incredible skills are greatly appreciated, but more greatly appreciated is the leadership you have empowered into your followers. The game of college football has never seen the likes of a person of your caliber and may never see another that can do what you have done for the game. I thank you for your dedication and your unmeasurable achievements that you have dawned on your incredible era in college football. I think I speak for the Gator Nation when I say that none of us…
Score: 14, T. Blackburn : Tim, When I came to the University of Florida in 2005, Coming from NC, I never thought choosing to attend UF could bring my family together as close as you have. My grandparents, who are faithful Christians heard about you on the local news in North Carolina and called me saying, “do you know the QB of the school you go to, that Tim Tebow? He preaches, does missionary work, etc…” and I just smiled saying, “yea, grandma, we know him pretty well down here.” From that day, my family has followed you and the Florida Gators year after year. I loved getting that…
Score: 12, Vanita : Dear Tim, Congratulations on your graduation and congratulations on your numerous accomplishments in football. I hope that you have enjoyed your four years at the University of Florida just as much as every member of the Gator Nation enjoyed theirs, whether they are alumni from way back when or just yesterday. Being part of this community has been one of the most fulfilling components of my life. I’m sure you know how I feel. Although I graduated in 2005, as much I hear that I missed everything, I don’t feel like I missed “all the fun”. I was there for every…

Score: 9, Kyle : Tim, I must say that it was truly a bittersweet moment to see you leave college football. As an FSU student, watching you beat up on us year after year was always tough to swallow, but you always carried yourself with dignity and the grace of a champion. May God bless you in all your endevours. You extend far beyond just a Florida Gator, you are just a great example of how to live your life and a man that all of us could model ourselves after. It was great to watch you play ball, even if I’m not a Gator fan haha. I’ll probably get crucified in Tallahassee for writing you this,…
Score: 8, Meagan Kovacs : Dear Timmy, Thank you for being my inspiration in everything that you do. Everytime I don’t do my best, I think of your “promise” speech after Ole Miss. That game was the day after I became a Gator, and your reaction and commitment to trying your hardest only made me know that UF was definitely the right place for me. I’m so happy here and sad to see you go. Good luck in life, and always be the Timmy we love in our hearts :) Thank you for being my inspiration in everything that you do. Love, Meagan

He has been down…but I know seeing you made him feel better. On a personal note….thank you for the 4 wonderful years you gave us while attending the University of Florida. You actually made me love football again. Your faith in God and your enduring leadership efforts while at UF will not be forgotten. Thank you again, Sharon Fussell-Carter
Score: 7, Keri Mongelluzzo : Dear Tim, On December 10th 2009, I carried with me a sign to the ESPNU Home Depot College Football Awards Show as I had the previous two years. The only thing that differed was that this year’s sign displayed the verse 1Timothy 4:12 – “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity.” This verse seemed as if it found me, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. As I read the words to myself I thought, “This is the influence that Tim has had on my life; he has indirectly…
Score: 7, W.R. : Tim Tebow, Thank you so much for being obedient to God and making yourself available to be used by Him. You have been an amazing role model both on and off the field. I pray that you continue to serve the Lord with all your might. Many blessings for your future in whatever God leads you to.
