SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Florida quarterback Tim Tebow was born in a
jungle, attended school in his living room and plays in a Swamp. Other
than that, his life has been perfectly normal.
In a world full of contradictions, in which so-called institutions of
higher learning pay their football coaches more than what it costs to
build a university library, Tebow is a positive paradox in shoulder
pads.

On one hand, the freshman from Jacksonville, Fla., born in the
Philippines, fits the perception of the popular big man on campus.
During one of the team's game-day walks to the stadium this season,
two female fans fainted after high-fiving Tebow.

At the same time, Tebow blows apart the stereotype of the nerdy,
anti-social home- school kid whose athletic prowess amounts to holding
a pencil with two fingers. Educated at his farmhouse through the 12 th
grade - Florida law allowed him to play sports at a public high school
- Tebow's outgoing personality, strong leadership abilities and
athleticism have combined to help the Gators reach the national
championship game Monday against Ohio State.
