sportainment, Sports Tainment

If the strapping 6’3” 235 lb. lad wins the Heisman, he’ll be making history on several counts.

First, he’s only a sophomore. Second, he is the only player in NCAA history to run and pass for at least twenty touchdowns each in one season. Third, this son of missionaries to the Philippines was homeschooled in grades K through12.

The last fact, no doubt, prompted Sports Illustrated to opine that Tebow is “hardly the typical college athlete.”I’ll confess that I’m not much of a sports geek, but some homeschooler bloggers predicted success both on and off the field for years. And any google search for Tebow and homeschool will find a long list of homeschoolers voting for Tim to win the Heisman.

Funny, nobody is asking if he has a chance at success without a “regular” high school diploma.
