Backup to Starter to Phenomenon. Repeat. - Mania for Tim Tebow Rooted in Big Moments - NYTimes.com - Sam Borden -Here, about 1,000 miles south of the Jets’ practice facility in Florham Park, N.J., those who have followed Tebow the longest watch with amusement. They have grown accustomed to the routine and the reaction, and while there has been considerable debate in Tebow’s hometown over how the Jacksonville Jaguars ran second to the Jets in the sweepstakes for their local star, any consternation over that near-miss has not diminished the city’s abiding love for its favorite son. “This is where it began,” his high school coach, Craig Howard, said this week.

Big Easy's history of Final Four thrillers has CBS broadcast crew anticipating a memorable weekend | Cleveland.com -- Jim Nantz on New Orleans: "This is one of the better all-time, quartets we have ever had. In 1993 in New Orleans we had Michigan and North Carolina, Kentucky and Kansas, and it was similar to the same kind of vibe I'm feeling right now. And I'll say this: Everybody wants to say this is going to be a coronation of Kentucky. The odds are it will be. "But I've been around enough championship games ... we were saying the same thing before North Carolina State and Houston [in 1983], the same thing before Villanova and Georgetown [in 1985]. We were saying the same thing before, you name it, Arizona and Kentucky in 1997. There is no foregone conclusion until Monday night. "We've been here four times, and all four times have come down to some kind of memorable, last-second highlight. Hopefully we'll have that again."
