I would like to apologize to UF fans, your football team and staff and Tim Tebow on behalf of the city of Baton Rouge. The classless things done (the cell phone incident) and said (I'm sure there are too many to say) are not a representation of Louisiana State University or its fans.
These things were not done with integrity or candor and I would like to apologize. This hopefully will not skew people's representation of LSU (in a non-sportsmanlike way) or the SEC in general. I am sure this was done in jest, but I apologize that it reached the next level. I speak for many (but unfortunately not all) LSU fans when I say that was one of the best football games I have ever seen. We appreciate a great game, especially when the other team has great players. Everyone I knew rooted for Florida to win the national title last year and I am rooting for Tebow to win the Heisman. Most of us here are good sports, and I hope that UF will accept this apology.
