Tebow changes phone number (article)

paducahmichael · 10-09-2007, 06:11 PM

Just found this artilce on ESPN's site:

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3056398

If the story is right about serious threats being made, the folks who did that should be in big trouble. Don't these yahoos know that every call to and from a cell phone can easily be traced? Not too bright. Probably used pay phones or something. (Do they still HAVE pay phones?)

pjnchamps · 10-09-2007, 07:14 PM

Timmy and Meyer are stupid and sore losers

"It's easy to just get rid of your phone," Meyer said. "I told Tim 'Just dump it and get another one.'"

"but had to listen to each voice message and read each text message before deleting them."

why did Timmy have to Listen to them nobody made him that was his choice

I've seen a couple articles about this today and in all the accompanying comments, I have yet to see one single Florida fan recall the fact that UF fans did the exact same thing to the towing company Joiner tried to take the car from!

I'm not in anyway condoning LSU fans calling Tebow, but man, how quickly UF fans forget their own behavior.

Besides, I'm wondering how many voicemails he could have really gotten?? He could have very well gotten tons of text messages, but I don't think you can get all that many voicemail messages before the box gets full.

Just with the ones OT sent, he'd have a heap uvum........not to mention everyone she gave it out to.

I'd love to see his cell bill this month. Anyone want to guess how many text messages he got sent? Your voice mail can be full and limit how many you get but text messages all get through.

I would guess he got over 10,000 texts.

Oh, I'm sure the phone company has been called and told they'd better not charge him....or else.

I think this was all in fun, but if any threats were made they should be dealt with.

Tebow assumed the messages from LSU fans, especially given the nature of them.

Yeah, LSU fans are the only ones who would do such a dastardly deed because it's 'our nature'.

Excellent point.

eL eS shU · 10-09-2007, 10:08 PM

yes, you can only have like 10-20 voice messages.

and Timmy Tebow(as he sais it) was full by like 8 or 9 saturday morning. One of my buddies had his number, and it would go straight to his VM and say it was full.

sassylsufan2002 · 10-10-2007, 04:31 AM

From what I understand, everyone in BR had the number. But, there are some that are saying it was only the students from LSU that called. In all actuallity, it could have been anyone, right?

coppell_tiger · 10-10-2007, 04:56 AM

Looks like Tebow handled everything well to me.

If this guy played for LSU......he would be a top ten player of all time by the end of his career.

I think they meant the nature of the messages, not the fans.

I guess that would make more sense. I'm just so used to people criticizing us, that I'm quick to defend.

Looks like it's happening again.

Just got home from Georgia, and already got a message.

Someone sent me Brantley's along with those.

Silly kiddos.

I was surprised to read that. I always figured that he just threw the phone away once it was compromised.

northernvatiger · 10-04-2009, 07:19 PM

Not again...

sassylsufan2002 · 10-04-2009, 08:18 PM

They'll make LSU fans out to be the villan once again, especially since Timmy has a bo-bo! Let's just hope the "fun" doesn't go too far and we show them we have class!

ThePhenom74 · 10-04-2009, 08:26 PM

Things like this piss me off. It makes LSU fans look like pathetic idiots when people have to stoop to crank calling star players. Id love to see them get caught and prosecuted to the fullest. Its plain stupid to take a game that damn serious. Plus you dont need to give someone like Tebow any more incentive than they already have. Pretty damn classless by those so called fans.

Thankfully Tiger Nation is known as one of the classiest. I was working at a hotel when OSU came in to play LSU for the BCS title. Everyone said they were amazed at the hospitality shown by Tiger Nation. I also am part of a MMA forum and there is someone who was on the OSU paper. So he was here covering the game, he said he will forever cheer for LSU because of the fans and how classy they were. He and almost everyone else said UF had horrible fans. So thankfully even with these idiots LSU is known for having great, classy fans.

downtown · 10-04-2009, 08:34 PM

It's idiotic. First of all, it's been done already. Second, nobody knows how "funny" the message might be because nobody hears it other than that person getting the call.

Make a funny/creative sign that people actually like and you'll actually have a decent story to tell. It's annoying.

All it does is fire the other team up even more. I'm still not sure how we beat Florida last time in Tiger Stadium...

Rex_B · 10-05-2009, 06:14 AM

All is fair in love and war!

mctiger · 10-05-2009, 06:17 AM

Tebow's got enough bells ringing in his head these days without these shenanigans.
