It's Tebow's world. You're just living in it.

Spurrier says omission was mistake
By Chris Low/ESPN.com

HOOVER, Ala. -- Steve Spurrier confirmed it himself Friday morning when he appeared at the SEC media days: He was the one who snubbed Florida's Tim Tebow in the coaches' voting on the preseason All-SEC team.

But it was because of an oversight, the South Carolina coach said, addressing the matter right off the bat in the news conference.

Spurrier explained that his director of football operations had filled out the ballot and brought it in to him. Spurrier said he glanced at it, signed off on it, and then realized his mistake much later.

The ballot submitted to the SEC from South Carolina had Mississippi's Jevan Snead as the first-team quarterback, and not Tebow.

"I take full responsibility," he said, emphasizing that he believed Tebow to be one of the best quarterbacks in Florida history. "I'm embarrassed about it, I feel badly about it ... I apologize to Tim Tebow."

What happened to Steve Spurrier's nuts? I know Steve Spurrier circa 1995 would have told the media he didn't vote for Tebow and challenged him to a fight if he didn't like it. Now he bows his head like a dog that peed on the couch like he's about to get smacked in the nose with a newspaper.

And don't give me this BS about your Director of Football Ops making the vote. I know that SIDs and Football Ops guys vote for coaches all the time but I'm pretty sure if this guy wanted to make a statement as big as 'Tebow isn't the best QB in the SEC' he would have asked the old ball coach before doing so. I think Spurrier needs a little more Lane Kiffin attitude. That's the only way you get taken seriously in a conference like the SEC. He just needs to retire.
