Tim,

Thanks for four amazing years. You have been an inspiration for not only the Gator Nation, but the entire country. We all truly appreciate your hard work and dedication towards UF football, and love you for it. But we also love you for so much more than what you did on the field. You are a legend and an icon at the greatest school in the country, and yet you remain so humble, which is so remarkable in this day and age. God bless you, and good luck at the next level.

On to the goal, we’ll fight our way for Florida!

Timmy

You are an amazing athlete and person. I have grown up in Gainesville my whole life so I was born a Gator Fan. I am so glad that you were here the same time I was. You are truly an inspiration to the entire student body and the Gator nation beyond that. You carry yourself with pride but yet you seem so humble. You have truly made the last four years magical around here and we will be sad to see you go. Thank you for an amazing 4 years. Its one for the history books. Good Luck with anything you do in the future, any girl would be LUCKY to have you ;o)

Just wanted to thank you for all that you have done for UF Tim! You have set such a great example for not only your peers, but everyone who has ever watched you. You have so much heart and there are not enough words to thank you for putting everything you have into everything you do. Whether it was on the field, on mission trips, doing interviews, or simply speaking at FCA, your heart was always in it. You’ve made a lot of peoples dreams come true just by touching your hand as you ran your lap around the stadium after the games. May God bless you in everything you do. Good luck in the future! Thanks again for a great 4 years at the Swamp!

Dear Tim,

Obviously, your talents on the football field are a tremendous gift. But I want to thank you for being unafraid to be counted as a follower of Christ. I have had the privilege of working with teenagers for more than a decade, and the pressure on young men today is unprecedented. You give young men someone to look at and say, “If he’s brave enough to be a follower of Christ in front of the entire world, then I don’t have to be afraid, either.” As the mother of a young son, I hope that when he grows up, there is someone of your dedication and stature that he can look to for inspiration. Thank you for standing for Christ.

Tim!

You’ve made my time at the University of Florida so memorable. Don’t worry about the Alabama game this year, we all know you put your heart into the game. You’re still Superman to me and every other Gator out there If I ever run into you in the future, I hope you’ll be willing to take a photo with me – it’s definitely on my list of things to do before I die!! Best of luck wherever life takes you, and as always – ITS GREAT TO BE A FLORIDA GATOR! Thanks for the amazing Florida memories <3

Love always,

Timmy,

Thank you for everything you have given us here at the University of Florida. Every game you gave it your all, you left you heart and soul out on the field. You have shown us what it truly means to be a Florida Gator and we are forever in your debt. We have all become better people because of how you have carried yourself through your years here at UF and we will be watching you as you have much success in the NFL. May you heart always be strong and may God smile done upon you in your future endeavours. You are Florida’s favored son so carry it with pride. God Bless.

Dear Tim,
It has been an awe inspiring four year run.Thank you for being the outstanding individual you are, both on the field and off. What an inspiration you are to many from different walks of life. It took us 23 years to “convert” my daughter into becoming a fan and was only able to do it because of you. We couldn’t wait to look up the different verses you had on your eyeblack every Saturday. May God continue to bless you and your family no matter what you pursue. Thank you for being a representative Gator Nation can be proud of! You are truly a man among boys, both on the field and off.

God Bless,

The Moore family

Timmy T,

You are an animal (on the field) and an inspiration both at the same time. No one will ever possess both qualities of success like you have over the last four years. You turned everyone’s eyes on you, even your teammates, to see what you will accomplish next. Thank you for being a great role model for the country to look up to. Good luck in the NFL!!!

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: 10, Jhonny Garcia : Dear Tim Tebow, Thanks for being raw. Thanks for being awesome. In fact, some people might go as far to say, “Thanks for being rawesome.” Sincerely, Jhonny Garcia
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.
