An elongated fish of the cod family, Gadidae, and the only member of the family found in freshwater. The burbot lives in cold rivers and lakes of Europe, Asia, and North America.

Searching a little more I found that these fish are found in the mountain lakes and streams of, you guessed it, Montana. Armed with this new knowledge I just have to say, "So What? I still don't have a clue as to what the game will be!"

That is all, carry on with your lives, get some sleep. Kickoff is in less than 4 Days!

the banana fish in 2007 game hint !?!?

If you Google-Image search "Burbot fish" some of them are yellow!

... I have other things I should be doing...

It certainly has nothing to do with this year's game, but I found it quite amusing (and coincidental) that yesterday, while watching a section of the Beatles's film Magical Mystery Tour, there was this scene in which John plays a waiter in a restaurant and he actually serves a customer by shoveling pasta into her dish.

The week before kickoff causes some weird stuff on one's mind.

[Andrew Blair]

Hmmmm.....I don't think this has been mentioned.

Kickoff is in 4 days, and I have my money on footballs.

Has anyone else noticed the Kickoff----Football connection?

I'm not sure if its been mentioned yet and i really don't feel like reading all the posts but someone posted in another forum that first has ordered 2000 mailboxes from home depot.

So it may be a game piece or maybe even a part of our kits...

Just putting that out there...

[AndyB]

[Joe J.]

I think he was refering to the2006 Game Piece? thread.

might be a hoax tho, and it's too late to put them in the KOP, as they've almost definitely been packed, if not already shipped to the local kickoff locations

According to our Regional Director the kits have already shipped. They should be arriving at the pickup locations sometime in the next couple of days, if they didn't arrive today. I think kit arrival varies somewhat depending on the location.

[KTorak]

The kits already arrived at the San Diego kick-off location.

[Nuttyman54]

well i guess that takes care of that. Whatever the order is for, IF there was such an order, it's NOT going to be in the KOP

[Henry_Mareck]

enough about the kits, back to the game and the hint!
The idea of a moving, center, truncated pyramid that could be parked on came about a few pages ago.
I was discussing this with some of my colleagues today, and we realized that if it was on wheels and could move, it would probably be really hard to climb on top of it. So, I think it will just be attached to the floor.

I'm thinking that the field may be similar to 2000--tall hoppers with a ramp in the middle. Though I may be waayy off, this would go back to Dave's comment about "You already have it." The ramp would be larger (and green) and the hoppers would be able to carry footballs. Oh, and no hanging bar. HP job is to (try to) throw footballs into a hopper.

(Only 3 more days or so to kickoff. Almost out of time to speculate...)

[AndyB]

ok these mailboxes could still be in the KOP what if they ordered 2000 more earlier, and then ordered 2000 more for extra parts at the regional competitions?

Back to this thought (sorry im just catching back up with this thread) YES the KOP have been shipped... but guess what hasn't? The fields...........

[AndyB]

ok just thought of something. ok what is just big enough to fit in a mailbox? a football, so what if they are setting these mailboxes down on a movable base that is on the playing field and the HP is throwing these footballs up in the air to land in a mailbox?
