So I just purchased the Austin Powers Box Set at Target and introducing the series to my 12-yo --- using the "hidden idol" thing as an excuse to my wife.

Note to Game Masters --- any chance you could hide an Idol in Star Trek Next Generation?

We'll make it so.

The next challenge will be a confidence pool from games in the NBA, NHL and college basketball on Wednesday and Thursday. Each person will be submitting their own entry. Pick the winner in the 15 games listed below and give each winner a ranking from 1 to 15. You pick the correct winner, you get the points. Picks are due by 7:00 EST on Wednesday and should be submitted to Dubs, Steve and myself.

The tribe with the lowest average score will be voting someone off. In case of a tie, there are two tiebreakers question (closest score wins) for the tribe captains to submit with their picks. If there is still a tie after those two questions, the tribe captain who submitted their entry first will win.

In addition to the confidence picks, everybody also needs to submit their guess for the total points combined in all of Wednesday’s NBA games. The closest 7 in each tribe will receive an idol clue. Any ties will be broken by order of submission.

Wednesday
Stanford/Connecticut (NCAA)
Texas/North Carolina (NCAA)
UMass/Ohio (NCAA)
Utah/Orlando (NBA)
Indiana/Miami (NBA)
Charlotte/Toronto (NBA)
Detroit/Boston (NBA)
Ottawa/New Jersey (NHL)

Thursday
UCLA/Duke (NCAA)
Chicago/Oklahoma City (NBA)
San Antonio/Golden State (NBA)
Phoenix/Toronto (NHL)
Nashville/Tampa Bay (NHL)
Montreal/St. Louis (NHL)
San Jose/ Los Angeles (NHL)

TB1: Total Points in the Southern Utah/San Diego State (NCAA) game on Wednesday
TB2: Total Points in the San Antonio/Phoenix (NBA) game on Wednesday

Just in case someone missed it

Really finding the idol is that important that you, you would suffer through the Austin Powers series.

Ask Tyson how many times he watched Above The Rim last year.
