Footballs have come up often in the hint threads over the years as it's one of the only major sports balls that hasn't been incorporated into an FRC game yet.

As for other hint thread guesses, I recall the 2005 hint thread nailing the game name Triple Play and the importance of three in that game. The advance BOM released before games used to be good source of guessing as well. Once (probably four or five years ago), I remember IFI updating their website the night before the Kickoff and coming across screenshots of Kitbot parts.
