Timmy-
Thanks for the memories! Gator Nation is lucky to have you not only for your athletic achievements, but also for your competitive spirit, passion, and faith. You are a role model to many, including my 5 year old son, Tim III (Trey) who runs around the house Saturdays in his 15 jersey. We will miss you. Good luck & Go Gators!!!

Tim,
As a girl who lives in Virginia, constantly surrounded by VA Tech fans everywhere, it’s really rare for someone in this state to see a girl with Florida Gator T-shirts and car magnets. I just want to thank you for your time, effort, passion, dedication, and heart with the University of Florida. You are truly an inspiration to me and all of the other fans. Your kindness and compassion towards others is unbelievable. You really are truly 1 in 1,000,000. How many other college qb’s do you see helping out with disadvantaged youth, taking part in improving far away countries, and showing Christian faith through everything he does while still being one of the best college athletes in the nation? We love you Tim, and I wish you absolutely nothing but the best in your future endeavours. I look forward to seeing you as the next Peyton Manning for whatever team you go to. We’ll miss you Tim, but we know you’ll always hold a special place at UF.

We love you Tim!
God Bless and Best of Luck, always!

Tim,

It’s hard for me to put into words how extremely blessed I feel to have been able to witness you play football for the University of Florida. These past four years have been some of the most exciting, unbelievable, and memorable years of my life. I come from a long line of Miami Hurricane fans and EVERY single one of my family members is profoundly taken aback by the impact you have had on so many people in such a short period of time. What you have given to the Gator community, and to all college football fans alike, is indescribable. We are forever in your debt. The passion with which you play the game and live your life is truly awe inspiring. You are the epitome of a class act and I think we all can agree that the world needs more Tim Tebows. As a UF Alum and a devoted college football fan, I am honored to call you part of my Gator family. I wish you all the best in the next chapter of your life. You will be deeply missed. God Bless and Go Gators.

Tim,

What an amazing time it has been to watch you play over the past 4 years. As a huge Gator fan, of course I am always impressed with your talent on the field, and always excited when we score a touchdown. But it is the stories that are told about you off of the field that really command respect and admiration. It has been inspiring to hear how selfless and generous you are. I have no doubt that there are hundreds of people who have come to know Christ because of how faithfully you follow him. Although it was bittersweet to watch you play your last Gator game yesterday, I know that you will only continue to inspire more people in the coming years. Thank you for your courage, your heart and most of all your commitment to Christ. God has big plans for your future, and I can’t wait to see what they are!

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 call from my 70+ year old grandparents asking what time the game was, or this year, what Bible verse was under his eyes. My grandfather passed away this past April from cancer, but my grandmother told me he was happy to see you win one more back in January. Thank you for all the memories Tebow. You will be missed, but as my grandmother said, “well, we might just start watching a little more football on Sundays now, huh?”

Dear Timothy,

I just wanted to say thank you for making my first two years as a Florida Gator as amazing and incredible you did. I’ll admit that I was not initially excited about being a Gator, especially since that meant being away from most of my friends. However, watching you play in the football games and learning of your actions off the field has made me proud to be able to include myself in something you were and always will be a part of, allowing me to truly feel proud that I am a Florida Gator. The sense of unity you help to bring to the Gainesville community will be missed, but not too much, I think, since I’m sure you’ve spread some of your wonderful personality to your other teammates.

So, congratulations on setting new records tonight at the Sugar Bowl, congratulations for keeping your faith close and unwavering for all these years, and congratulations on having so many people around the world care about you. You’ve blessed so many people’s lives, so I can only pray for you and wish you success in whatever path it is you’re meant to follow. Go Gators!!

Sincerely,
Rebecca S.

Tebow,
I’m watching the Sugar Bowl and just saw what was probably one of your last plays as a Gator. I just want to say thanks for being such a great representative of the Gator Nation as well as a great representative Christ. You more than make up for the Turlington bozos!
Also, thanks for being a great player and leader for our football team. You’ve made the last 4 years of Gator football very fun to watch. Congratulations on all of your wins!

Good luck in all of your future endeavours, be they charity work, pro football, or anything else. Thanks and God Bless!

Dear Timmy,
I’ve never been a big football fan, (not to say that I really am now), but to have been able to watch you play this past season, has made my freshman year beyond amazing so far. As I sit watching the Sugar Bowl, I couldn’t be more proud to be a Florida Gator. So thank you for that.
And thank you for being more than just a football player. Thank you for being a person that someone can look up to. Your morals, attitude and faith have inspired so many around you, myself included.
I am lucky enough to be able to call myself a Gator while you’re still at UF, so thank you for staying an extra year. And thank you for all that you’ve done for the University of Florida.
I wish you luck in all that you do, whether it be football or faith-based. And may God bless you and your family, always.
Thank you!

Dear Tim Tebow,
Thank you, because “for such a time as this” you were sent to represent your King in the field He crafted You to master. I am incredibly proud to be a part of the gator nation, with the hope that many of us see Jesus Christ through you and step closer to His throne. You have made daddy proud. You are much more than a fantastic athlete; you are the administrative manager of God’s plan, an overseer of His works. Please remember, as it seems you have until now what it says in the book of Titus chapter 1:7″Since an overseer is entrusted with God’s work, he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain. 8Rather he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined. 9He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.” Thank you for being a bold Christ follower and the leader of the pack. Hope to catch your golden football one day in the fields of heaven.

Sincerely,
Janioris

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…

Being part of this community has been one of the most fulfilling components of my life. I’m sure you know how I feel.

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,…
