Yes and no. His red herrings in 2006, in hindsight, fit the game perfectly. Someone actually came close to the game, but was still quite far out. (A couple of the hints were actually a link to the un-diabolically-twisted game idea, if you followed them right. One was placed in a caption contest, run by the guy who posted the "inspiration"...)

Of course, this only made sense after a couple days after Kickoff...

On the official hints:
2009 also had a riddle that told the type of surface, the location of the maker of the game objects, the existence of the trailers (again, between the lines), and something else, I forget what.
2008 had 3 hints; the last one was the letters for the encryption key (but not the symbols) and included a reference to one of the actions. I forget what the first one was.
2006 was a riddle in the shape of the game piece telling about bumpers, lights, and other miscellaneous details.
2003 was the scoring algorithm.
2004 was a line from "Stairway to Heaven" telling about the stairs and "heaven" (10' high bar) in the middle of the field.
2005 was a riddle having to do with the number 3 and the game name.
