NBS BIF #15 Hints and Hauls: Was it Over When the Canadians Bombed BIF #14? HELL NO!

Crazy, this officially began March 18, 11 days ago. Which, incidentally, is equal to or greater than the characters in his or her User Name.

 

If you guys had only elected Jonah Ryan, this math nonsense wouldn’t be an issue!

 

Between this and the rivers, I have never felt as cluess as I do right now.

I think my best stargery is just to start randomly calling out the people with that harde

 

Hint #1: I’ve never sent beer to this person before, I’ll add to it…but I have driven through their state.
Hint #2: My target's state is larger by area than mine, but smaller in population.
Hint #3: I did my second beer trade on a phish message board for beer from my target's state. I may, or may not have, reviewed it on BA. I also traded with this person on BA, later on.
Hint #4: My target has not reviewed one of my top ten highest rated beers, perhaps after our yearly vacation I will be able to correct that.
Hint #5: My favorite band (I think its obvious) usually makes yearly stops in my targets home state each summer, and has for quite some time.
Hint #6: The northern pine snake cannot be found in my targets state.
Hint #7: My students are taking there test right now so...There is an element on the periodic table that sounds like it could be named after my target's state.
Hint #8: This hint will help some of the previous hints be more useful without giving it away completely...we go on our yearly vacation in the same state that my favorite band formed in.

***I also added to #5.

 

Hint # Whatever (and I will soon be compiling my previous hints and listing them all together):
A couple weeks ago, in the West forum, I mentioned a county commissioner near where I grew up. Said county commissioner was elected due to his being locally famous for having a couple super bowl rings, as opposed to actual expertise. The name of the county he theoretically serves is remarkably similar to a geographical entity at or near where my target lives.

 

Here's my list of who I've eliminated as a possible sender:
2beerdogs, beersnake1, woemad, snaotheus, colts1982, all for the same/neighboring states/regional rule.
Roguer, just because.
Ovaltine>jonphisher
Coronaeus because of his hint that somebody who had eliminated him was wrong. I hadn't publicly eliminated him (although I had privately, based on the presumption of No Previous Official Senders)
and, myself, cuz.....

This leaves Beergoot, FBarber (very doubtful, but yet possible), jonphisher (doubtful) MBGreg, Ozzylizard (very doubtful, based on the past pairings), Roy_Hobbs (ditto), RubThis BBQ (ditto), Superspak, and Wunderllama.

I think management will have the Colorado Contingent send East, so that takes him out, and most of the rest either they've sent to me, I've sent to them, or both, in some capacity.

One scietific WAG coming up:

@Mbgreg , are you my sender?
