End of Tebow Era: The Morning After

"I dreamed of being a Gator since I was six years old and it was better than I could have dreamed."

-- Tim Tebow, after last night's Sugar Bowl.

Full quote:

"Honestly, I dreamed of being a Gator since I was 6 years old and it was better than I could have dreamed. But just because I'm graduating the University of Florida doesn't mean I'm still not a Gator. I've been a Gator my whole life and always will be a Gator. So it's not really saying good-bye, it's just moving on to a new chapter, but I'll still always be a Gator."
