Proud Dad of 7 future members of the Gator Nation (2 currently ANXIOUSLY awaiting that acceptance letter!)

Ya'll have faith now.

My WAG: 77 point spread.

I had a whole ton myself. I went with simple

[+stellarscapes]

I'll guess -87

[+Dolfy]

I'd have to say 71

so sorry. guess great minds think alike.

See kids, this is why you send your kids to college. Learn 'em to read, comprehend, think independently, avoid embarrassing duplication of cointest answers.

So let's try a nice EVEN # like: 107 {Yeah, I'm an IU grad }

[+dhenninger]

-300

[+lagrac]

269

 

Although, in reality, I'm a WAC man!

[+The Skylark Four]

399

[+Arrow One]

I'm goin with 18.

[+sillygirl & jrr]

This is tough:

 

1. We reside in the Land of Colt...

2. sillygirl is a proud member of the Gator Nation ('86). The Gators are the only college football games airing in our house; it's fun to watch the SEC games while eating breakfast... (I was educated entirely at Division 3 schools. Though my undergrad alma mater is probably the only school in the country that charges admission to lacrosse games but not football. Forgive me, I digress.)

3. They've never given it to a sophomore....

 

So I'll go with -333 (since I trust Mauison's research on what constitutes a close vote).

 

jrr

[+TrailGators]

I'll say a nice round number like 222!

[avroair]

I'll go with 128, only because my man Dixon got hurt.

[+GPX Navigators]

Always a fun time of year.

 

-123

 

No way to a Soph. Nuh-uh. Nope.

[Gator Nation]

Less than an hour to get your guesses in.

[+larry739]

The prize is a brand new Gator Nation geocoin.

 

 

The winner will be whomever comes closest the the number of points with out going over that Tebow wins the 2007 Heisman by over 2nd place Heisman winner.

 

Rules:

I am looking for the number of points That Tebow beats the 2nd place Heisman winner by.

1 guess per team

If everyone goes over then I will pick the closest of those that went over .

Cutoff for guesses will be 12 Noon EST 12/8/07

For the unbelievers I will except negative numbers.*

 

*(In case the voters decide against Tebow because he is an underclassman) (This will be the number of points from #1)

 

Note:

These coins will never be for sale.

Trades will be very unlikely (Can't say never because there may be an offer I can't refuse)

[+LadyBee4T]

Ok I will go with the projection (5 out of 5 works for me)

 

400!

[Gator Nation]

Cointest is now closed to any further guesses.

[+MountainRacer]

...and Tim Tebow wins by a margin of 254 points, according to ESPN! Time to check those guesses.

[+AtlantaGal]

...and Tim Tebow wins by a margin of 254 points, according to ESPN! Time to check those guesses.

 

It doesn't look like anyone got it. It looks like the 230 and 262 guesses were the closest.

[Gator Nation]

...and Tim Tebow wins by a margin of 254 points, according to ESPN! Time to check those guesses.

 

And your guess of 230 puts you closest to 254 without going over.

 

Tebow 1957 point

McFadden 1703 point

Congratulations MountainRacer! And congratulations, Gator Nation. Thanks for the cointest.

 

We came in 2nd (well, almost with 262 )

 

Gotta believe that someday we'll win a cointest! :unsure:

[+PengoFamily]

Congrats Mountainracer!

 

Thanks Gator Nation for the cointest!!

[Gator Nation]

Now the the cointest is over, it is time for more info on this coin.

 

I come from a Gator family so this coin was made to be given to family members at Christmas time.

 

100 of the coins were made and numbers 001/100 through 100/100.

 

These coins are not trackable

 

The first 10 coins were done in Black Nickel and 8 were set aside for a good cause.

 

The other 90 are all done in shiny silver with some of these going to family members.

 

These coins are not to be sold and if you are lucky enough to find or receive one of these I hope you can abide by this. If you get one and find you don't want it please leave it for someone else or trade it away.

 

Generally I will not be trading any of these. I say generally since if the right coins comes along I may not be able to resist. (The right coin being another mystery coin or such.)

You can find them on the beach, you just have to get lucky when tide pulls them in. Oh wait... sorry, wrong coin...

[Gator Nation]

These coins will go mostly via direct mail but it will be over some time. Also from time to time they should end up being placed in caches is the Gainesville area but finding one this way will just be luck.

 

That being said the first of 4 coins went out in the mail Monday so these should be showing up soon.

Anyone else around here ever put in one of those 16 hour days? come home just plain wore out? 7AM to just shy of 11 PM.

So why, oh why, does Mrs Derschlings have this silly "I know something you don't know" grin on her tired little mug? Uh, sweetie, what 'cha holding behind your back?

DANG! I'll be GatorBait!!! that's a GENUINE GATOR NATION GeoCoin!!! How'd you get that!?!? I don't care! can I PLEASE hold it???

Oh man! This is SOOO cool. DerschlingSon1 and DerschlingSon2 just stand there smiling and smiling (they tend to do that when Dad can't quit smiling)

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Gator Nation, whoever you are!

[+sillygirl & jrr]

I meant to come in here yesterday to congratulate derschlings, but life intervened. So here I am a day late, saying it.

 

Plus today I get to report that sillygirl (there was no &jrr on the envelope!) is now the proud owner of another GENUINE GATOR NATION coin, #52.

 

Mahalo Nui Loa Gator Nation! Will try to post a picture of the coin with the rest of the gator rooting section.

Congratulations both of you for getting that cool coin!!!

 

I'd very much like one but can't right now bid on my own auction for MrExplorer3

[+sillygirl & jrr]

Well we were the high bidder for about a nano-second yesterday, glad to see it's now out of our price range.

Having guessed the largest negative number (-333) against Tebow winning the Heisman I just could not bring myself to put jrr on the envelope.

 

Sillygirl was already on my list to recieve the coin so jrr answer was not a factor.
