And are you telling me there's someone out there who doesn't think Tim Tebow is the best QB in the SEC?  Wonder which coach that was...

Urban Meyer

Because he voted Tim Tebow All-American Linebacker.

Urban doesn't think that's funny.

And he’s going to run the score up on you for that remark.

For all the people that picked Houston Nutt:

You can’t vote for your own player. I think it was Les Miles dumbass.

36-0

Now I wish I could vote for Nutt.

Voting

most people go to the polls uninformed. You can’t vote for your own player. So it wasn’t Nutt. Take him off the chart. or don’t and show how many people don’t know what they’re talking about

I dont

think the poll says that Nutt voted for Snead….just that he didn’t vote for Timbow cause he HAS Snead….

by bammer on Jul 17, 2009 10:01 AM EDT reply actions  

Right...

which is why Urban Meyer isn’t an option

by Will Shelton on Jul 17, 2009 10:04 AM EDT up reply actions  

Correct

However, I believe Snead was the only one that got a vote other than Tebow, so it could not have been Nutt. This story does not give you that info, so it is easy for people to possibly vote for Nutt even if they know coaches can’t vote for their own players.

However, this whole thing is somewhat tounge in cheek, so some of those guys ^ should just chill a bit.

I voted for Spurrier because it was funniest in my opinion. The way I see this thing actually going down is that it WAS Kiffin, but not out of malice, just because Coach O probably said “Jevon Snead is a very bad man that I recruited so lets vote for him”. Or the barely decipherable, cajun equivalent thereof…

Tennessee WILL beat Georgia on the way to 9+ wins in '09!!!

However

I must be turning into Stephen A. Smith or something, using that word way too much.
