Newspaper Columnist in LSU Country Sides With Tebow over Tigers

The New Orleans Times-Picayune columnist Peter Finney ties into SEC Media Day today by offering up a particularly fawning honorarium to Tebow -- I'm sure local Tigers fans were thrilled.

I appreciate that Finney is a realist -- frankly, you don't find many "Tebow deniers" anyway. I think if I was an LSU fan, I'd prefer my columnists to have "begrudging respect" over "swooning."

Update: SEC Coach Mystery Dis of Tebow

Saturday (07/18) Update: The New York Times' excellent "Quad" blog weighs in. (If you don't have the Quad bookmarked or in your RSS Reader, you're missing out.)

Updating: Clay Travis has a terrific analysis of the insanity that is the notion that an SEC coach would not -- DID not -- put Tim Tebow as his 1st-team preseason all-SEC QB. (via AOL FanHouse)
