Dear Tim,
You have been such a great quarterback for the past years. My friends and I are so
sad to see you leave. All we have to do now is to think what the gators will do without you. You have shown great spotsmenship, especially when you invited that girl to the hismens this year. (because that was her number one wish to come true) can’t wait to see you in the pro’s (try to get the steelers for your team!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I annie havent heard of you until now because I live in Georgia but I hear from my friend Jenna that you are a great quarterback and I know its always hard to see a great player leave the team. And I also agree with Jenna of what she said above, definatly steelers they are all time favorites for part of our family.

Dear Tim,
Thank you for all you’ve given to UF, the fans and their families! As a parent of three Gator Girls, I have been so thankful that someone of your stature, character and faith has been a role model not only on the UF campus and college football but to the whole world. You have certainly spread the “Good News” by your actions, words and deeds on and off the field. You have encouraged a bond between students and parents as we’ve all cheered for you and the Gators these past four years! Thanks again for all the great memories of the games (UF will always be #1 in this family!) Congratulations on you Graduation! May God continue to bless you as you pursue your future on and off the football field! Go Gators!

Sincerely,
A grateful mom

P.S. Congratulate your parents on a job well done, too.

Tim,

Thank you for all of the wonderful things you have brought to the University of Florida and Florida football. As a fellow class of 2010 student, I have been fortunate enough to watch you for the past four years as you have lead the team and fans to be the greatest football program in the nation. Not only have you given us back-to-back winning seasons, but you have shown us true inspiration, faith, dedication, and most of all, have brought the Gator Nation together.

We have been so blessed to have had such an amazing role model and leader on our field. Thank you for your dedication and love for Florida football. You will remain in our hearts forever.

God Bless and Good Luck in all you do!

Dear Tim,
You truly are a living example of Christ’s love in the world. You are an inspiration to our family and friends, some who are not Gators or even Christians, yet you manage to allow the Spirit of God to shine forth from you and show what it means to be a child of God, without words–in your actions. St. Augustine said to “preach the Gospel, and when neccessary, use words.” You are that instrument of God!
I pray that the Lord continues to guide your heart, fill you with His loving Spirit, and bless you abundantly as you continue on your journey.
Please know that you are in my prayers, God bless you!
Congratulations on your success at UF–and on your graduation.
Pax vobis,
Linda

Tim,
Thanks for being a great player and a great role model. My friends and I had the opportunity to snap a few pictures with you at a restaraunt a few weeks ago and you couldn’t have been nicer, you seemed so genuinely happy to share a few words. Thanks for giving Florida football all you had these past four years.
God bless

Dear Tim,
I want to thank you for stopping during the Gator Walk before the FIU game to visit with my friend who is in a wheelchair. Many of us worked to arrange to get him a handicap ticket and one for his girlfriend for that game and get him right up front during The Walk. You may have thought you were just doing some routine kindness, but actually, you made a big difference in this man’s life as he has followed your career closely and was thrilled to have met you, even for a brief moment.

I hope you will thank the other seniors on my behalf for the wonderful experiences I have had watching them play over their years at UF. I think their efforts and good deeds often get overlooked because your star shines so brightly, but I would love to let them know that they also have MANY fans amongst the Gator Nation.

I hope all of you who put so much pressure on yourselves to achieve perfection on the playing field will try to enjoy the bowl game and play for the love of the game. Forget about pleasing us. Just have fun.

I wish you and all the seniors (and some juniors heading to the pros!) the best of luck in whatever you do next in your lives.

Congrats on your graduation Tim! It is awesome to see how God is using the gift He has given you for His kingdom. Even my Christian friends who are not Gators are encouraged by your walk. Thanks for the memories and it is exciting to see what our Savior has planned for the next chapter in your story. Keep running the race!!!!

I like to share my favorite verse with you: Phil 6:1 (Unless you have this verse memorized, it is your turn to flip the bible..lol)

It is GREAT to be a FLORIDA GATOR!

God bless to you and your family! Merry Christmas!

Dear Tim,
Thank you very much for being such an impressive role model and example for young men everywhere. You’ve touched a great many lives with your good works and witnessing, and I hope you remember that and take satisfaction from that when things at the moment aren’t going as well as you’d like. Go Gators, and keep making us proud! Best wishes and God bless you.

Dear Tim,

Thanks for being such an inspiration – not just for the Gators but for college students as a whole. It is hard to be looked upon as an example for others to follow, but you’ve done a great job! Jer. 29:11

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,…

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, 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

Score: 6, Fellow sister in Christ : Thank you for being a bold witness for Christ on our campus!! Your example has changed the lives of so many people and until we get to Heaven, you’ll never know the impact that you have had on this earth; but I trust that when we get there, there will be a long line of people wanting to thank you for sharing the gospel with them and for living a life glorifying to God! Romans 15:20 “It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known…” I pray that you continue to reach the “remotest parts of the earth” (as your father likes…
