Caught up in the delirium of the Penguins 3-1 victory on Tuesday night to push the Flyers to the brink of elimination, Ricky "Tsunami" texted me the following exciting news: "My plan was to wait until 31 days out.

This is great news!! Who will be the 12th competitor??
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE'S BAAAAAAAACCCCCKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!
12th competitor is still TBD. Though there are quite a few feelers being sent out and some irons in the fire. Should be wrapped up in a week to 10 days...
What a way to start out the "Final Countdown"!!!! I’m grinning from ear to ear and my forehead vein is pulsating with excitement. The memorial would not be complete without Ricky D!!
Let's hope that a certain someone is ready to make the plunge from spectator to competitor!
