SEC Media Day was in full-force this week as college football is just around the corner. One of the stories that came up from yesterday was regarding Tim Tebow not being an unanimous All-SEC QB.
Two of the votes cast were for Ole Miss Jevean Snead. It was figured out that since Florida Urban Meyer could not vote for his own player, he was one of them. Then everyone asked, which coach did not for Tebow?
Well, South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier has come forward and said that he was at fault for not voting for Tebow. The reason why, he did not fill out his own card. Confused?
Well, Spurrier said that he never fills out these pre-season voting ballots and usually lets someone else to fill it out for him. Spurrier said that he gave it to director of football operation and filled it out for Snead. Spurrier then signed it and went about his day.
So, who is this person who voted for Snead over Tebow? Well, his name is Jamie Speronis and he has been the South Carolina director of football operations since 2004.
The great irony? He graduated from Florida back in 1985 and worked for the Gators as their director of football operations from 1996-2002. Sometimes you cannot make these stories up.
We finally can bring closure to this story and Tim Tebow can take his preseason All-SEC to the bank.
