I think ppl hated Tebow, some bc of faith and others bc they thought he faking it(similar to what Dabo gets accused of)


I don't think he faked it, but I do think he embellished it.

This is some serious recency bias. Miami from the late 80s and early 90s was a story that transcended sports. Hard to explain if you can't remember it.

Lane Kiffin isn't transcending sports, unless you live in Louisiana and Mississippi, which are two podunk states out of 50.

Woody Hayes for his entire career. What other HC was ejected for punching another team's player?

Was Spurrier really that much of a villain?

Def tongue-in-cheek

Now that I think about it more, I like that Lane is behind Spurrier on this list

Both are legendary offensive minds who talk their cash and people hated them for kicking arse and telling you about it

I LOVE IT! 2 of the all-time greats

He was until the Nebraska whooping, he was arrogant, talked trash, ran the score up on inferior teams. Sportsmanship was a lil bigger in the 90s. The vandy game was the tipping point. He was taking deep shots late in the fourth quarter and people wanted him to get his. They relaxed after osbourne ran the score up on him in the natty.

I think these are more a “love to hate” thing than real antipathy (for the most part).

There’s no playing with that monster. His own sphincter should be nonexistent by now.

Spurrier was the height of entertaining.

Tebow makes no sense

Sandusky easy 1
Briles is 2 in my book.

Spurrier would be pissed if he wasn’t #1 …. at anything.

And he made no apologies.


As I get older…watched 80s documentaries and such….I miss the villains that I hated at the time. Because they were such good villains.

Jimmy Johnson would have made the list had he stayed longer.

Not sure why anyone is questioning the Tebow hate...he was very much hated(mainly due to media). He is liked now by most because of his charity work, but at UF he was very hated because every CFB story seemed to involve him.

I understand why ppl hate him, just think it’s wild he’s a “villain”. I think the ppl that thought he was fake would def see him as a villain but I think most ppl that hated him knew he was a good dude. I think ppl got tired of tom brady bunch. I’m clean cut, smart, middle class and great at everything I do. My dad saves the world and leaves it a better place than he found it, I didn’t bang miss universe bc I love Jesus more, I cried after ole miss bc I let everyone who believed in me down. I think ppl hated Tebow bc he was too good. He is the contrast, the foil character, he reminds society how terrible we really are.

I didn't hate Tebow. I admired Tebow.

I don't remember this. Aside from random super liberals on primitive Twitter, who hated Tebow?

The only real controversy I remember about Tebow is how he could celebrate a play like a lunatic and not get a celebration penalty, but then some brothas could do half as much and get a penalty. That's back when celebration penalities were a big deal.

I do not see ...

B1G NCAA monopoly in the 50's, 60's, & 70's

ESPN

Free Agency

Gambling

East Coast and Midwest media bias for at least the first century of CFB

This list was made by a liberal, they aren’t concerned with those things. They hate people more for living a Christian life.
