07:17 AM ET 08.28 | A minor league baseball promotion asking the question "What would Tim Tebow do?" never got an answer. Instead it got a cease and desist letter from the University of Florida, forcing the event's cancellation. The Fort Myers Miracle of the Florida State League planned to hold a "What would Tim Tebow do?" night on Wednesday, featuring promise rings for fans, a jump pass for the first pitch and a local man named Tim Tebo attempting to walk on water.

Reminds me of "The Family Guy" episode when Peter started the "Religion of the Fonz". Grasp on Life?

Stop taking yourselves so seriously, Gators ... it's not like they were doing a repise of Disco Demolition with Tebow or anything ...

Surely Tim "Tebo" is going to try and cash in somehow in the next couple years.

Comparing Timmy to Jim Jones is a little out there. While the hype around Tebow is a little crazy, Tebow is the real deal. Off and on the field.

What is it with people from Ohio hating the Gators? Oh wait, nevermind.

This Tebowmania needs to settle down a bit. It is getting outta hand, find some other college kid to media stalk.

BUT, this is still not football news. It's disgusting if you ask me. This makes me want to go on a baby punching tangent.
