I Believe The Ball Coach

In case you haven't heard yet, Steve Spurrier was the lone wolf that didn't vote for Tim Tebow as the 1st Team quarterback on the All-SEC preseason team, making Tebow a unanimous choice.

Instead Spurrier said his director of football operations filled out the ballot for him, brought it in to him, and Spurrier said he glanced at it, signed off on it, and then realized his mistake after all the news about it.

At the SEC Media Days on Friday Spurrier said he takes full responsibility for it, adding "I'm embarrassed about it, I feel badly about it ... I apologize to Tim Tebow."

The Ball Coach went on to say he believes Tebow is not only the top QB in the SEC, but the best in the country as well.

In an effort to further close the matter, Spurrier went as far as to contact SEC associate commissioner Charles Bloom to tell him he made a mistake in his original ballot. He asked Bloom if he could change his selection of quarterback to Tim Tebow and Bloom obliged. So all is now right in the world, Gator fans as Tebow is now a unanimous 1st Team All-SEC quarterback.

But, to be honest, I really believe Steve Spurrier when he says he let his director of football operations fill out the ballot.

Think about it. A coach like Spurrier has been filling out things like this for years, and he's probably tired of all those little, unimportant things that get in the way of winning ball games. So, he let someone else do it and you know he's not the only coach to do so. So lay off everybody because those things really don't matter anyway.
