As if winning the BCS National Championship wasn't enough, UF will accept a resolution from the state Legislature today honoring the football team for its success.
Coach Urban Meyer, quarterback Tim Tebow and linebacker Ryan Stamper will be on hand to receive the praise, along with university and athletic department leaders like UF President Bernie Machen and Athletics Director Jeremy Foley, according to a news release.
Gov. Charlie Crist will also host a breakfast for the group. UF's football team accepted a similar resolution from lawmakers in 2007 for the 2006 championship.
Tebow also visited the Legislature in April and made a few remarks. He even obliged legislators who wanted autographs and pictures and ended up tossing a football around with Marco Rubio, who was house speaker at the time, according to news reports.
