Yeah. I think we got it. That definetly puts together all the correct answers so far. If we got it, that really has to be the first cryptic riddle I've ever seen solved without lots of hints!

the past has proved this true for the past 525,600 standard FIRST units of time.

Furnishers = Official FIRST Suppliers/Sponsors
The Key = Game Item
Standard FIRST Units of time = 2 minutes (oops.. guess not so anymore)
The Way of Life = The Official Game Reveal from behind the curtains

33.5 Standard FIRST Units of time = 67 Minutes*
525,600 Standard FIRST Units of time = 2 Years


With that said...

In the year 2003 at the Kickoff, the list of suppliers was shown 62 minutes before the Game Reveal, and showed a robot knocking over a stack of bins with sponsors/suppliers name on them.
Bins = Game Item of 2003

In 2004 at the Kickoff, the list of suppliers was shown 72 minutes before the Game Reveal, but just as text. But, in the background was two different size 3D circles.
2 Different size Balls = Game Item of 2004



*67minutes = Average of time between the two times in 2003 and 2004.


So.. was it worth the wait?
They changed the format this year and showed the game items as soon as the kickoff started, so.. there goes the theory that the pattern would continue.

THANK YOU FROM ALL OF US once again!
