College Football

I have to admit that I really like College Football. I am a Longhorn fan all the way and this year I could not avoid cheering for the Texas QB as he played in some of the most exciting games of the year. What amazed me about Colt McCoy was his commitment to his faith as well as his determination to do his best in the field. I was amazed to see the interview right after Texas defeated Ohio in the Fiesta Bowl. The first words that came out of the MVP of the game had to do with this recognition of God not only as his personal Lord and Savior but also as the One who deserves the credit for the victory. It is great to see young people willing to stand for their faith and their values in the midst of a society that keeps mocking Christianity and its adherents. Today is another day, and today is Florida's QB who is in the spotlight. I happen to like OU's QB simply because he is a great passer, but I have to say that Tebow is not only one of the greatest QBs I have ever seen, but also another man that is openly committed to his Christian faith. And that is what distinguishes Tebow and McCoy from the rest, their excellence as athletes in two of the top football programs in the nation, but even better their open commitment to their Christian faith inside and outside the field.
