Marc Sieber: On the Topic of Tebow

I’m sick of hearing about Tim Tebow. I personally have nothing against him, I’m just sick of all the media hype surrounding him. All of the major sports networks keep looking at the Broncos through Tebow-colored glasses (I don’t care that that doesn’t make sense). The constant attention that Tebow is getting is taking away from the impressive performances that have been submitted by some of the other players on the Denver Broncos. While Tebow is completing only 48% of his passes, Willis McGahee is averaging 4.8 yards a carry. Most impressive is rookie linebacker Von Miller, who has 10.5 sacks this year while leading a Denver defense that has held its last three opponents under 13 points.

Now I could just parade a bunch more statistics in front of you guys, but I know you all expect me to be a lot more entertaining than that. So I’m going to give you all a nice extended metaphor. I’m going to use one of my favorite things to help draw a comparison: rock music.

WSUM alum Scott Rynes: UW Fans, Buck(y) Up

Silence hung over the city of Madison for ten minutes Saturday night. It struck when the head referee Dennis Lipski stuck his arms in the air in a vertical, parallel fashion, a mannerism that typically represents ‘touchdown’. To Badger fans, it represented much more.

Another loss in East Lansing.

Another heartbreaking ending to a Big Ten game.

Most importantly, the loss of an opportunity for the programs first ever National Championship.
The mood became that of a funeral. Televisions became coffins and the images of our teams walking off the field in despair became the loved ones we lost. And the city mourned through the night. What else could be done? Expectations for THESE Badgers have never been so high. Sure, Wisconsin began the 2000 season ranked fourth in the nation, but they lost early, and multiple times. These Badgers were 6-0, averaging just over fifty points per game and had introduced traditional power Nebraska into the Big Ten conference with a shocking, but incredibly impressive, 48-17 victory in Camp Randall. In a matter of seconds, it was all gone. The national hype which Wisconsin football received throughout the year, the shot at the national title, the hope for something new; all gone, thought never to be seen again.
