When the original Rock tribe won the first two challenges, each of us was given a clue.  Since then, other tribes have been given clues.

Will remaining Rock members get clues that tribe members other than Rock were given, or might we get clues that other Rock tribe members were given for the first two challenges?  Even if we weren't given them individually, they were still given to tribe-mates.  To possibly better understand why I'm asking, please read my LETTER TO A FRIEND.  The concert references alone are a good read.

I understand now.

No, I'm not going to separate these clue by previous tribes.  Or current tribes for that matter.

I'm going to take the number of letters I receive, and line up that many idol clues (for all of the idols) randomly in an excel sheet.  Use random.org to dish me numbers to each of you to  to decide who gets what clue.   I will look to make sure that that person did not already receive that clue, and change that if need be.

On that subject,  I've only got a few letters so far, but they have all made me laugh out loud at my desk.  It will be quite a bit of fun to share some of the info after the game.

good enough.  thanks.

Picks Due by 6PM Eastern Tomorrow.  Also, in case you guys missed it a page back in the thread, if you are submitting a letter in exchange for an Idol clue, that is due by 6PM as well.

U2		MILLI VANILLI
PAUL (NCAAB)		PAUL (NCAAB)
RONDO (NCAAB)		RONDO (NCAAB)
SANDERS (NCAAF)		SANDERS (NCAAF)
WIEINSKI (NHL)		WEINSKI (NHL)
R WHITNEY (NHL, EDMONTON)		T AUSTIN (NCAAF, WV)
TB1:  45		TB2:  42

So basically, Tonight's challenge will come down to Whitney in the NHL game, getting 10 points per assist for U2, VS Austin's receptions in the football game for Milli Vanilli, getting 3 points per catch.

Both tribes had TB1, and TB2 would only come in to play if there are no assists and no catches or if Whitney has 3 assists and Austin has 10 catches.

And 1 Hour left if anyone one else would like to trade a "Letter to Home" for an Idol clue......

Go WV's passing game!

9 Clues Delivered.

Surprised both teams had NHL player. Maybe I just don't know **** about hockey but aren't assists hard to predict? Guy would need a good chance at 2 or 3 in the game to make it worth it?

I would have had a hard time risking any NHL players at all if I was participating in this challenge for that reason.  But that was the reason they got more points, iif you risked it.

However, the good thing about the hockey  assist is more than one player can get one for each goal.

And it looks like Whitney already has one assist (10 points), and Austin does not have a catch yet.  He will need 4 catches now, and 0 more assists from Whitney for Milli Vanilli to win.

That was an explosion of action in Hawks game!

Austin got 2 catches on the openning drive of the 2nd half. Cmon WVU!

Austin is now credit with 4 catches on the box score, although I've seen 3. Lets go WVU!

All centers on good lines rack up assists. Just look at how many Gretzky got. The guys that get assists are more consistent than the scorers.
