    Hint# 1: Shipping West
    Hint# 2: My target's city would be considered a metropolis by both US and more standard definitions.
    Hint# 3: My alma mater has played a college football game against a university from my target's area in the last 5 years.
    Hint# 3b: My alma mater won their game last night(10/4) against a historically prestigious football university at home and stormed the field in celebration.
    Hint# 4: In 1960, my metro had more than twice my target's metro's population. Now, my target's metro has more population than mine
    Hint# 5: My box will travel more than 1000 miles.
    Hint# 6: My target's city does not have a hockey team.
    Hint# 7: My target's state has multiple participants in this round.

    My target still does not seem to be on track, so:

    Hint# 8: My target's state has teams from all 4 "major" sports, but his city does not.

    If you both live in Madison, the yes you still have a 50/50 chance, my last hint stated so.

    I was fairly certain before, but this sealed the deal! Still have no idea what clue 5 references though :slight_smile:

    Content hint: A fantasy-themed beer recently had a pre-sale which was caused me to consider shipping late. Based on the results of that pre-sale I will indeed be shipping a couple days late. Hopefully its worth it (with this brewery, it usually is).

    If I've got this right, 5 folks have received their hauls and posted pRon. At least two others should be landing today and tomorrow? And 6 others have said they're shipping (or have already shipped) between now and Wednesday.

    Im down to 11 possible senders. I have BIF'd with every single one of them. Im in a seriously awesome position.

    **Reminder** I am in SC from 10/20-10/25 ...

    To my target. Are you going to the game on Saturday? Are you going to tailgate? If so - don't buy any beer! I've got you covered for that.

    How sad is it that in thinking about how to go about tracking this down, going to his wants never even occurred to me until you said that?
