Tebow: "Talent never won anything. Hard work does."

This is pointless. Every SEC school outside of Vandy is what you make of it. You can be wildly successful going to one, but the vast majority of graduates work 9 to 5 jobs and never make six digits. This is different from say, oh idk... UVA, UCLA, Berkley, or Michigan. Just going to Florida really gives you no advantage over going to Mississippi State.

Nobody was claiming that. Tebow was being portrayed as a knuckle dragging mouth breather and I brought up his GPA (3.77 or in that area) and was told a high GPA at a craphole school meant nothing. I responded with Florida's academic ranking according to several sources. I wasn't implying UF superiority- just making my case that it's no online diploma mill.

A 3.77 would be special if it were in a major that actually required an IQ above double digits to pass.

Hard work can beat talent, look at Boise State and Utah, I think most people would agree that Oklahoma and Alabama were more talented; however, they were outplayed and outworked by smaller less talented teams.

Unless you are familiar with cirriculum of his major, you aren't qualified to make that judgement. Matter of fact, based upon your double digit IQ crack, I'm quite sure you aren't qualified.

In interviews, Tebiw sounds like an 11 year old kid. For that reason, I believe him to be an idiot, especially given the coaching he receives on interviewing. Giving me some garbage GPA stat from a state u in social studies or something does nothing to change that.

You know, its obvious that talentless teams can't win, but it is equally obvious that you can have plenty of talent and not win if you don't work hard and prepare, see e.g. Tennessee circa 2005.

All Tebow is saying is that he and the Gators aren't resting on their laurels and realize that as much as they have around them they are going to have to hit the weights and run and be at practice at 5 in the morning and watch film and do all those other things that it takes to transform talent into actual W's.

Work ethic is important, no matter how inately good you might be.

But then again you knew that was exactly what he was saying. And you actually agree with it. See e.g. every post you ever made about Fulmer and the lack of work and desire that permeated UT for the last five years.

If that's all Tebow is saying, he's exactly the dumbass I have him pegged for.

The discussion was about how much of a craphole UF was, but it turns out your university is 236 spots crappier

No, the discussion has been regarding TebowÂ’s intelligence. Your fellow fan has been trying to prop him up by pointing to the outstanding academic reputation of UF. Since Tebow does not go to UT, a ranking of UT is not germane to his argument.

I can say seeing as how reading comprehension is an issue for you, being a probable UF student/grad, you did not bolster his argument.

I think there should be a rule that, when calling someone else "an idiot," you have to spell his name correctly.

And, as a little helper, wen talking about anything, you should have to have a remote clue about the topic. Guys like you would stop gracing our board.

I assume you know full well I can spell Tebow. I know full well that my wife knows more sport than you do. Substantial difference.

You know better, but like the remainder if your drivel, disingenuous is your form.

Doesn't change the point: you have no business on a sports board.

All I did was poke a little fun at you for calling Tebow an idiot and mispelling his name in doing so. You can't handle getting teased a little?

You should know BPV does not tease well. He doesn't play well with other kids at the babysitter, especially ones from a rival day care. :eek:k:

And you can't major in:

1) Divinity
2) Sainthood

or

3) Virgin Studies

So I'm still not sure what the hell he is majoring in to begin with.

I know, shame on him. Being a fan of a school that is apparently held in such high academic regard as Florida, one should know such things.

I know it was just a typo. Still, I thought typing it wrong in one sentence and then calling him an idiot in the next was pretty funny, in an ironic sort of way.
