Tim Tebow: not the best quarterback ever. However, Tim Tebow may be one of the best motivational speakers of our generation. This morning on SportsCenter, Tebow had us all ready to do anything we have ever desired in life.

Tebow was attempting to explain the mindset for Tennessee heading into their matchup with Alabama. Alabama is favored by 37 points, the largest point spread in the history of this rivalry, and ESPN’s Football Power Index gives Alabama a 98% chance to win. Still think Tennessee doesn’t have a chance? Tebow still won’t quit. Tebow actually went toe-to-toe with Alabama twice as a starter, beating them once and losing once. Granted, Tebow and the Florida Gators were never 37-point underdogs, but facing Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game is never an easy task.

Tennessee head coach Butch Jones may be coaching for his job at this point. Jones and the Volunteers are 3-3 (0-3 SEC) on the season, and have scored just 26 points in their last three games. If I am Butch Jones, I am showing this video on repeat to my team before running out of the tunnel in Bryant-Denny Stadium. It’d be hard to not get pumped up after this video.

I am not playing in a SEC game today, but Tim Tebow has me ready to do anything I have ever thought about doing. He has me ready to study for my finals which aren’t for another two months. If I could hire Tim Tebow to motivate me to study, I totally would. Worth every single cent.
