What do Gator fans think about Steve Spurrier not selecting Tim Tebow for first team all SEC?* It was just a mistake – “He made amends and got the vote corrected.” – “It was an oversight on his part.” That’s Spurrier being Spurrier – “That's our old ball coach for you!” – “Steve is an iconoclast and a bit of a jerk.” He’s jealous – “Probably mad that he did not bring Tebow to the dance.” – “It was a jerk thing to do. He's just jealous he didn't get to coach him.” * Based on verbatim responses from TallahasseeVoices panelists who identified themselves as Gator fans
