Tim Tebow uses eye black to convey messages of victory off the field

As much as for his signature jump pass, Tim Tebow is known for inscribing Bible verses on the eye black he wears for games.

Tebow’s choice for last season’s BCS championship game against Oklahoma, John 3:16, drew a reported 93 million Google hits that day.

"I was just putting on my eye black and I realized that if I put a Bible verse on it, somebody might actually get something out of it," Tebow said Monday. "It’s just gained more and more momentum and steam, more and more people have recognized it, and now it’s just got a life of its own."

Tebow is undecided on what he will be wearing in the Allstate Sugar Bowl on Friday night, although he’s not lacking for advice from fans.

"I really lean toward something that’s going through my heart," he said. "If there’s something going through my heart that week, or whatever it is, I think people understand more and learn more from it."

Here are the verses Tebow has worn over the past two seasons:

2008

Regular season: Philippians 4:13 — "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

BCS championship game: John 3:16 — "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life."

2009

Sept. 5 vs. Charleston Southern: Proverbs 3: 5-6 — "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."

Sept. 12 vs. Troy: Mark 8:36 — "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"

TTIWWPics of Tebow's 'girlfriend."

Google it. You won't be sorry.

[demshateGod]

If you love Jesus you’ll be sorry you did it.

[Frantzie]

Whatever happened to that John 3:16 guy?

[thefactor]

I'm sorry, what? So maybe Tebow should be sorry he posed for pictures with a girl who everyone then wrongfully assumed was his girlfriend.

I guess Tebow hates Jesus.

Are you talking about her?

[A_Former_Democrat]

The guy with the rainbow hairdo who always seemed to have great seats at the best sporting events?

I recall reading about him some time ago. I think he got into a heap of legal trouble, can’t remember why.

[thefactor]

Can’t see certain pics at work. She is a lovely girl. Dark hair. Weating a brown shirt in the photo with Tebow perhaps?
