During his prolific and high-profile career at Florida, Tim Tebow has been called many different things.
Superman. St. Timothy. Football Jesus. The greatest player in the history of college football. Attention whore.
Now, you can add “muse” to the growing list of things Tebow has wrought -- good or bad -- on college football.
As you all remember, Tebow made an impassioned speech following the loss to Ole Miss last season -- “The Promise” -- which is now immortalized in inspirational fashion at the UF football facility for future generations of Gators to gaze upon with both reverence and a touch of inadequacy. Apparently, though, that inspiration is not strictly limited to football players who come through Gainesville.
According to the Florida Times-Union, country music singer -- what, were you expecting a death metal group? -- Timothy Craig has revamped a song he had previously written and tailored it around around the spirit of Tebow’s postgame speech. The song, “Not Done Yet”, is both an ode to the UF quarterback and a nod to himself for not giving up on his dream of becoming an artist in Nashville.
Craig decided to re-record it about Tebow after he was watching the first college football games of the season on ESPN and saw Kenny Chesney’s recording of “This Is Our Moment.” Craig’s inspiration came when saw the issue of Sports Illustrated that came out after Tebow’s decision to return to Gainesville for his senior season. The headline on the front of the SI was “Not Done Yet.”
For those with an interest in the song, you can check out Craig’s MySpace page and listen to the Tebow-inspired ditty.
For those allergic to twang, though, I’d advise against clicking on the link.
