Tim Tebow Is Everywhere, And Has Many Different Names

Got an image you'd like to see in here first thing in the morning? Send it to tips@deadspin.com. Subject: Morning crap.

Um, that last mug shot on the lower right there. Something seems to be amiss ...

Either Tim Tebow snuck into the Orange Bowl under an alias, or Fox screwed up. But how did they match that face with that name, and how is a Tebow mug even available for that game? We report, you decide.

Here's the real Khalil El-Amin, by the way.

Mangino, Orange Become One

He went down to quick defeat in the SHOTY First Round, but Kansas coach Mark Mangino proved his mettle last night; that Kansas team might have pretty good, doggunit.

What excited us most about the win? We think it would have to be that fake punt. Any time a team pulls off one of the following plays and wins, they deserve extra credit:

• Flea flicker.
• Statue of Liberty play.
• Hidden ball trick.
• Fake punt.
• Fake field goal. (Double points for this one, actually.)

This has been such a bizarre year. Kansas and Missouri blitz through their bowl games, and Oklahoma gets hammered by an then-interim coach. Next thing you're gonna tell us is that Illinois played in the Rose Bowl.

Give Me Your Concrete Hand First; Fare You Well

As you know, tonight's Virginia-Miami game marks the end of Orange Bowl Stadium. The Hurricanes will move to Dolphin Stadium next season to begin a planned 25-year stay there, while the Orange Bowl will be blown to smithereens and sold on eBay. Thus, the end.

Expect the concrete tears to flow for the 70-year-old facility. It's historic past includes hosting three of the U's five national titles, five Super Bowls, Olympic soccer games and Bill Simmons. And tonight: Jon Secada! (The Miami grad is set to sing the national anthem.)

To commemorate the occasion and history, Miami has invited all former players back to form the pregame tunnel for players to run through as they emerge from the locker room. That could look pretty cool. A special halftime ceremony is also planned, and there'll be postgame events as well. And dude ... Jon Secada!

So enjoy the moment, and goodbye, sweet Orange Bowl. May stadium heaven be filled with nothing but warm weather and less drunks who piss on you.

FIU Must Protect This House!

Leitch — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 15:30:44 EDT

You might remember, during Miami announcer Lamar Thomas' insane rant during the Miami-Florida International fight last year, when he said something to the effect of, "you don't come into our house pulling that," or some similar nonsense. Well guess what, Lamar? Ned and his band of FIU faithful are actually going to close down your house. Literally.

Florida International is sharing the Orange Bowl with the Hurricanes this year — and would could possibly go wrong there? — and since this is the last year for the Orange Bowl (sorry, Winslow), that means FIU will be playing North Texas in the Orange Bowl's final game. So now, officially, Lamar, FIU owns your house. You'd know this if, you know, you hadn't have been fired.

Every Bowl Game Will Most Likely Be a Letdown From Here on Out

Tonight's Orange Bowl game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Wake Forest Demon Deacons starts at 8 p.m., so consider this the post to keep comments lit up . Or I could just put up another Darrent Williams post and let people scream and yell all over that as they did last night. Considering last night's game, however, it's kind of understandable. I think I could've had a post showing a photo of a small child being torn apart by a pack of cheetahs in front of his parents and people still would've chimed in to comment about that Fiesta Bowl.

I'll be back tomorrow for my last full day before Mr. Leitch returns from his South American adventure. And by "South American adventure" I mean "sex with a housekeeper".

To the window. To the wall.
