Hanson vs. Tim Tebow

College football's national championship is tonight and that got me thinking about all the poor homeschooled kids in America. I wondered if there were some sort of homeschool hall of fame (where might this hall be located?) who would be the crown jewel exhibit of such a place. I decided it would be one of the two: Hanson or Tim Tebow.

First let's explore the frightening similarities:

• Hanson is from Oklahoma; Tim Tebow will play Oklahoma tonight.
• Hanson was nominated for a Record of the Year Grammy in 1998 and lost; Tim Tebow was nominated for the 2008 Heisman and lost.
• Hanson is considered a dual threat because all three members tantalize listeners with their singing, but also are very adept at various instruments such as guitar, drums, piano, tambourine, and shakers; Tim Tebow is considered a dual threat as a quarterback (430/651 passing for 6,159 yards, 62/9 TD/INTs), but is also a very skilled runner (453 Attempts for 1,928 yards and 43 TDs).
• Both come from large families (Hanson, 9; Tebow, 7).
• Hanson left Island Def Jam Records to explore their musical creativity; Tim Tebow left Trinity Christian Academy for Nease High School to explore his quaterbacking creativity.

Now I understand that this is a bit apples and oranges, however, I am declaring Tim Tebow the crown jewel of the Homeschool Hall of Fame until further notice. He has been in the limelight much longer than Hanson. Even though Hanson got exponentially better after their years of fame were over, Tebow hasn't even been a professional in his career. As long as he doesn't have a Danny Weurffel-esque professional career to mar his college days, Tim Tebow is the superior homeschooler.
