Whatever you think about Florida as a team or their heroic leader, Chuck Norris Tim Tebow, it was a pretty impressive, passionate, off-the-cuff speech he gave in September after they lost to Mississippi. What did he say?

To the fans and everybody in Gator Nation, I’m sorry. I’m extremely sorry. We were hoping for an undefeated season. That was my goal something Florida has never done here.

I promise you one thing, a lot of good will come out of this. You will never see any playing in the entire country play as hard as I will play the rest of the season. You will never see someone push the rest of the team as hard as I will push everybody the rest of this season.

You will never see a team play harder than we will the rest of the season. God Bless.

That speech is now getting its own plaque, which will be placed outsde the front entrance to Florida’s new football stadium. Some question Urban Meyer’s decision to put up the plaque now, while Tebow is still at the school, but he says he didn’t want to wait, since you never know what happens in the future. He didn’t want the speech to get lost.

There’s already a replica Tebow jersey hanging inside the stadium, to honor his Heisman win. Tebow says he hasn’t seen the plaque yet, but thinks it is cool to have something he said affecting to many people.
