Tim Tebow's inspirational speech apparently will go down in history as well.
Florida recently put up a plaque outside the front entrance to the new football facility at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium with Tebow's speech inscribed on it.
Tebow's speech, of course, was the emotional promise he made after the Gators were upset by Ole Miss last season.
Fighting back tears, Tebow vowed no one would work harder than him and his teammates for the rest of the season.
The quarterback and the Gators kept the promise, with UF running the table and winning the national championship.
The speech has become famous — and you can see it, word for word, when you walk by the football facility.
