Syracuse and coach Jim Boeheim have the… Read More »
In polling U.S. citizens over various political figures and institutions, NBC and the Wall Street Journal called an option for the Gator Nation. And Tim Tebow scored. In their monthly political poll, the news organizations surveyed 1,000 people for their opinions, also, of the former University of the Florida quarterback, now the comeback king for the Denver Broncos. Considering both fans and detractors, Tebow outdid the political parties and politicians — including President Barack Obama — by more than 20… Read More »
