Tim Tebow[edit]

After reviewing the recent edits to this article, it seems apparent it has suffered from the POV of a single anonymous IP editor who has insisted on including a television screen capture of Tim Tebow crying on the Gators' bench at the end of the game and/or text describing same. I am asking other editors for their opinion, in order to determine a consensus among those involved in Wikiproject College Football, (1) whether this is appropriate to single out an individual player in our coverage this way per WP:BLP and WP:W, and (2) if so, whether such coverage should be placed in the larger context of the game's history, players, plays, statistics, etc. IMHO, as the article presently stands as a brief summary of previous Alabama-Florida SEC games and a recitation of 2009 game-time conditions and television coverage, any mention at all of the 5 seconds of video Tebow crying is too much. Please provide your opinion and let's bring this silly edit war to an end with a consensus determination. Thanks. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 15:43, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, for much the same reasoning. First of all, use of the word "crying" is misleading. You could reasonably say that Tebow "got emotional". However, does that mean that every article about any sporting event should include a list of players that got emotional? Seems silly.

This article does need to be expanded, and the focus should be on the game, not teasing about Tebow being disappointed on the sidelines. Zeng8r (talk) 17:54, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know about larger context or whatever, but Tebow crying is what many (most?) people remember about this game. Even in ESPN.com articles such as [1], the Alabama-Florida rivalry is noted as #1 in "Best rivalries of the 2000s" and is noted as "a rivalry that brought former Gators quarterback Tim Tebow to tears and sent his coach, Urban Meyer, to the hospital." I'm sure there are other sources justifying inclusion of Tebow crying. --96.32.181.73 (talk) 05:08, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

#1 agains #2 outside BCS championship bowl[edit]

I think it wasn't the first time since 2006, since it was the case in the previous SEC Championship Game. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.83.137.169 (talk) 14:18, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
