That's awesome Steve. My daughter is starting her 3rd year at UF today. She had to go back on August 8th for sorority pre-recruitment activities. I often get calls or texts about how excited she is to be there. The most recent of which was at a banquet she attended in April with the football team for the powder puff charity that Tebow hosts. It was something to the effect of "Sitting here next to Tebow and Meyer, it truely is great to be a Florida Gator". I also remember getting a call from her during the middle of the day during her Freshman year and I answered thinking something must be serious for her to call me at work. She said oh my god mom, the most awesome thing just happened. I was thinking this could be good or bad, so I braced myself. She informed me that on her way to her Biology class she had walked by Tebow on his scooter just leaving his prior class. Hahaha.
What instrument does Shane play? I'll have to watch for him on the field during halftime at the games.
