I congratulate UF on defeating Louisiana State University Saturday night in Tiger Stadium. I was in the stadium.

However, hypocrisy and classlessness appear to abound in the UF football program. Indeed, Urban Meyer and the coaching staff should instill values about pre-game sportsmanship. It's ironic that the SEC has commercials during every telecast attempting to showcase sportsmanship, but these are apparently not internalized by UF players. Before Saturday's game, UF players went to the 50-yard line to "stomp" on the Eye of the Tiger image. LSU players came out to meet the Florida intruders, and the two sides had to be separated by officials and coaches.

Tebow wears eye patches with scriptures. Hence, the Philippians 4:13 verse is hypocritical as it is taken out of context from the rest of the passage which was written in prison.

Furthermore, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes has players on both sides of the ball. What if Tebow is tackled by a player who wears Isaiah 40:29? Go and read it yourself. Such hypocrisy.
