A trade association editor at an area publishing company, the giddy 25-year- old spends much of her free time primping, preening and planning for an upcoming April wedding. But while she admits to not knowing a zone blitz from a Coach purse, into even her life a little Tebow must fall.
As emphasis, in a cubicle stacked with photos, bridal books and workflow calendars, she motioned toward two desktop screen savers - one showing a helmeted Tebow's bulging left arm in mid-throw, and another with the buff 24- year-old shirtless and smiling after a workout.
Though it was worn this year by anonymous freshman cornerback Loucheiz Purifoy, the blue-and-orange No. 15 made famous over Tebow's four Florida seasons remains a hot ticket in myriad sports shops and department stores across Gainesville, not to mention en masse in the Swamp on game days.
And a signature sight after the school's summer or winter commencement ceremonies: Diploma-toting graduates, still clad in caps and gowns, kneeling at the statue's base for photos that let Tebow share in their big-day memories.
Par for the course, says local sales executive Drew Jasinski.
"I tell my wife all the time it is like watching my little brother play every Sunday."
Even Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley, who saw Tebow's mastery first- hand during the Gators' glory years, concedes the task this weekend is a particularly tough one.
"They let him play how he plays," Foley said. "Throwing the ball on first down, things like that. That's what he did when he was here. You didn't see that with him before (in Denver). It works."
Las Vegas remains unswayed, with odds-makers generally viewing the Pats as a two-touchdown favorite on the eve of the Gillette Stadium showdown, which rewards the winner with an AFC title-game berth.
And some, like Sifontes-Ospino, will be prepared either way.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds
With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season. What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season. Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all. Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13). Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two. Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury. Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven. Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury. Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.
In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons. Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4. Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1). The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this. No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
