This was passed around from Gene Peek, a die-hard Gator fan, whose son, Colin Peek, is a star player this year at Alabama (he injured his knee last week)...Colin is a senior, as is Tebow, and it's very possible they will be playing against each other for the SEC Championship this year. As some of you know, Colin played on one of the Bolles state championship teams when Riley Skinner (now Wake Forest 's QB) was Bolles' quarterback and Max Higgs (Teri & Ken Higgs' son) was fullback. Amazing what talent and quality came out of northeast Florida back then (Tebow was Nease's QB).Subject: A Tebow story from a Miss. State fanHello,I am a lifelong Mississippi State fan and have no strong feelings negativeor otherwise towards Florida .However, a dear friend of my wife had an encounter with your quarterbackSaturday morning.She has what could very easily be a terminal brain tumor. She is leaningon her faith in the Lord to get her through this and no matter the outcome, she is being extremely positive. She is only 26 and is having to deal with her own mortality. I can't imagine it is easy.Any ways, she has a live journal documenting her treatment and everythinginvolved. She has a list of famous people she would like to meet or talkto before she dies. These include Oprah, Rick and Bubba, and of course TimTebow.She is from nearby Columbus , MS and noticed a bunch of charter busesoutside the hotel in town. She thought she would go in and just see if that was the Gator team. Turns out it was, and she ran into their strength and conditioning coach in the lobby.She explained her situation to the coach and even took off her hat toprove it. She said all she wanted to do was meet Tim. The coach said 'give me five minutes.' Five minutes later, she was ushered to a small conference room. When she opened the door, there was college football's golden boy Tim Tebow.Tim was very glad to meet her. He spent a good fifteen minutes talking toher about her treatment and her faith in God. I believe he even took apicture with her.I say all of this because in this day and age it is amazing that a HeismanTrophy winner, with two national titles and another possible one on theway, took time on game day to share a moment with a dear friend of ours who is dealing with a terrible illness. That is amazing.You guys have a great team. A great coach and great players everywhere.Your job is phenomenal and if at all possible this goes to further provethat he is an even better person.Gators, you have a good one and I just wanted to share that with you andlet you know how much it meant to our dear friend.Take care and God bless, love all, worship one.Eugene G Peek III
