In an ultimate sign of disrespect — and candidly, an unlawful act — a Tennessee Volunteers fan submitted a video of what is purportedly him urinating on the statue of legendary Florida Gators quarterback Tim Tebow.

The eight-second video, which we will not post here but was shared by a Barstool Sports affiliate, is supposedly of a male fan with a weak urine stream defacing the statue while playing “Rocky Top” on his phone.

In addition to being illegal, it’s disgusting. In addition to being disgusting, it’s juvenile. In addition to being juvenile, it’s pathetic. Why are we posting about it here, then? Well, it’s Florida-Tennessee week and such an atrocious act is newsworthy.

Vols fans have reason to be angry at Tebow, who routed their team by a combined score of 112-39 in the three games he started in the rivalry. The Gators won 59-20 in 2007, 30-6 on the road in 2008 and 23-13 back at home in 2009. Tebow’s also had more NFL success than any Tennessee quarterback since Peyton Manning, which is saying something considering how fast Tebow was in and out of the league.

Florida won 11 straight games against Tennessee from 2005-15 and is looking for revenge after giving up 38 straight points to its SEC East rivals a year ago in a 38-28 loss. UF has not dropped a home game to UT since 2003 and enters Saturday’s contest as a 4.5-point favorite.
