Well, it should've been Rodney Dangerfield. He was much funnier than Henny Youngman. Which, of course, begs the question: who was the best comedian ever at Gator Growl? I liked Sinbad. Who was the best comedian ever? My vote goes to Jackie Gleason. (This doesn't only include stand up comedians) Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

It was Henny Youngman, although many other comedians and comediennes have used similar lines.

Meyer's comment just made me aware of his constant problem of keeping the players focused on team rather than individuals. Although Tebow gets a lot of recognition and awards personally, Tim is always careful to put the team first. I think that is why no resentment of his personal recognition has developed on the team. There were far fewer folks wearing the eye-black at the game than I thought there would be, certainly less than 5% on the alumni side. I don't know about the student side. The whole team and particularly all the seniors got a lot of love from the crowd. It was a great evening at the Swamp. A.

Ours didn't arrive in the mail yesterday, even though they were supposedly mailed First Class on Monday. Hmph. The ones I ordered for myself just had a Gator logo on them so I would have considered those a shout out to all the Gators, from freshmen to seniors. :-) Cee ----- Original Message ----- From: Arthur Polhill To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, November 28, 2009 10:04 AM Subject: Re: [gatortalk] Eye black We've reconsidered this well-intentioned eye-blacking demonstration after hearing Coach Meyer say that he didn't think Tebow would appreciate it because this isn't Tebow Day, it's Senior Day, at the Swamp and Tebow is a team guy. Paula and I will not be wearing eye-black, but will stand and cheer ALL our departing seniors as we always do, including Timmy. A.
