    Spurrier comes out...he didn't vote for Tebow

    Steve Spurrier is expected to confirm it himself later Friday when he appears at the SEC media days, but it appears we have an answer on who snubbed Florida's Tim Tebow in the coaches' voting on the preseason All-SEC team.


    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.

    Ole Miss football coach Houston Nutt says he voted for Tim Tebow as All-SEC. Nutt also talks about what makes his quarterback, Jevan Snead, so good and the pressure on Ole Miss to step up and compete for a conference championship.

    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."


    SEC associate commissioner Charles Bloom confirmed to ESPN.com that Spurrier called within the past 24 hours and asked that his ballot be changed to include Tebow as the first-team quarterback. Spurrier told Bloom that his initial ballot, with Snead as the first-team quarterback, was a mistake.

    Each of the other coaches in the SEC has said on the record or confirmed through a spokesperson that he voted for Tebow. Coaches were not allowed to vote for their own players, meaning a unanimous vote constituted 11 of the 12 votes.

    The only unanimous selections on the coaches' preseason team were Tennessee safety Eric Berry, LSU offensive tackle Ciron Black and Alabama receiver Julio Jones.

    Spurrier has talked at length about what a great player Tebow is and how he's willed the Gators to victory time and time again.

    I really don't understand why this is even a news story. Who cares if it wasn't unanimous? Tebow is still first team all SEC.

    And we already know Spurrier votes like an idiot. He votes for Duke every year.

          It is because Tebow is the greatest man to ever grace the face of the Earth, and for someone to disrespect him like this is blasphemy.

            Some older Gator fans might have forgiven him for coaching another team (Redskins and S.C.) but this? THIS?!!!11

                no different than Florida fans trying to get UT in trouble over Lane Kiffin's twitter posts about recruits and LK came out and said he had never been on Twitter it was someone from the University doing it,lol

                This is such a nonstory though, who cares if one person didnt vote for Tebow.

                    Tebow's gonna score 300 on USC this year. All by himself. On defense.

                      You're laughing because the NC winning Heisman tropy quarterback is commited to God and hasn't had sex before marriage yet? That's a sad statement.

                      Like he couldn't pull more pussy than 1000 of you.

                          No, I'm laughing because I'm 17 and I've had more sex than the Heisman Trophy winning and NC winning quarterback.

                              Spurrier deserves to die for this.
