I'm writing to both congratulate and brag a bit about the newly announced Heisman trophy winner, Tim Tebow of the Florida Gators. I'm a Gator. I've earned all of my degrees up through my Master's at the University of Florida and am very proud of this young man. The first sophomore ever honored with this award.

Being great at football is one thing, and boy is he great at football. But, Tebow is the kind of kid you want to chase down and give a big congratulatory bear hug to. He's of great moral value, strong in academics and more humble than he should be. When millionaire athletes seem to be making both reckless and criminal decisions on a daily basis, Tebow just keeps getting "gooder". "More gooder", as my friend Izzy would say.

Tebow's role model as a child was another former Florida quarterback named Danny Wuerffel. Wuerffel also donned a halo on his head and won the Heisman. Now, more nine year old boys have another tremendous person to look up to. A tremendous person who also happens to be great at football. Congratulations Timmy! The Gator Nation is proud of you!
