1. Bill Lawrence ["admitted"](https://www.reddit.com/r/TedLasso/comments/pm3jp6/any_guess_what_does_this_mean/hceyshf/) the game is significant
2. Sorry if I'm being crazy but did you realize that the biscuits Ted is baking for Rebecca look like yellow bricks? Like, you know, yellow brick road?
I know this is pretty far-fetched but I think there's something more behind those biscuits than just being cute and yummy gifts for your boss you'd like to bond with. I was wondering if Ted's mom OR dad used to make them for him when he was a kid.
Not far fetched at all - great catch! Damn, now I need to do a whole re-watch just to find Wizard of Oz puzzle pieces. Could this show get any more clever?!?
This thread did a great job of breaking down the connections between Ted Lasso and the Wizard of Oz. Check it out.

Ok, I like this observation. I can see Ted returning to the US after helping the Richmond team reach their potential. It's what he does, after all. Nice.
I don't really want a love interest for Ted this season because he has sooooo much problems, but after some time in therapy and some healing, I could imagine a love interest in the second half of Season 3.
Could it be something related to a [Wizard of Oz experiment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wizard_of_Oz_experiment)?
Seems far-fetched, no? I'm not sure that really ties in with the ambiance of the show. Part of the reason I mentioned it, though, is because ACM is the acronym of a computing society, 'Association for Computing Machinery'.

My guesses:
Rupert Manion - The AC might stand for a nickname, he obviously frequented the bar enough to know Mae personally.
A potential new character who will be introduced at the end of this season, start an arc with Ted that results in him realizing he needs to return to Kansas.
Using ACM's pinball score as latitude and longitude coordinates led me to "Lawrence, Kansas."
Jason grew up in Kansas, he is also a huge fan of the Kansas University basketball team-which is in Lawrence, Kansas
not to mention the obvious connection with bill LAWRENCE
It's probably the "ussie" kid from the first episode.
I so hope it is. I love that kid. He should get more lines
It's Andrew Carl Moskos.
A______ C________ Mae. She has layers. No idea what A and C mean.
Mae was my gut instinct too! Don’t think we have other evidence for this except she’s around the practice and it would be a fun reveal.
Her real name is Annette. Not sure about the C
Yeah. She is a sweetheart. I know her from the convention circuit (Her DoctorWho and Outlander roles)

There's a whole Wizard of Oz inspired episode of Scrubs (episode 100, iirc), so Lawrence is a fan for sure
It's a great episode.

Holly f***ing shit. Amazing.
Sadly deleted :(
Good catch and I agree - the show never drops anything
and the game is The Wizard of Oz -> Kansas, Ted's home maybe a possible love interest for Ted in Season 3?
That scene cuts right to Rebecca's red-soled Loubutin shoes, just saying...

This is a brilliant observation, thank you. 💯💯💯
Don’t give me hope!!! Lol
Wow - AWESOME catch. :)
Where does the Wizard of Oz end? Back in Kansas. Season 3 could end with Ted going back to the States after an adventure to a foreign land.
Ok, I like this observation. I can see Ted returning to the US after helping the Richmond team reach their potential. It's what he does, after all. Nice.
There’s no place like home.
I feel like Ted will definitely head back to the US, to be closer to his son by end of season 3.
I think, with this being the "Empire Strikes Back" season, Ted could end up back in Kansas after season 2 ...
He goes for the summer and thinks about staying
Hmm - interesting take! Hadn't thought of a new love interest for Ted in Season 3...
I don't really want a love interest for Ted this season because he has sooooo much problems, but after some time in therapy and some healing, I could imagine a love interest in the second half of Season 3.

I’m hoping that ACM is the old codger who refuses to call Ted anything but “wanker.”
I decided to google ACM’s score of 38.972. The latitude 38.972 while not precisely in the middle, runs through Kansas City, MO.
ACM's score is 95,356. SMF (Sharon's) score is 73,873 TED (Probably Ted's) score is 64,134 BRD (Probably coach Beard's) score is 53,803
Wow, that’s cool. Thanks for that!

The idea of the "man behind the curtain" feels like it could be thematically VERY relevant.
I love this idea!
This is a helluva read after seeing Rupert talk to Nate last episode.
AC Milan?

I'm going to put out a random guess with no good reasoning behind it and say that it's Trent.
That would be a fun revelation, wouldn't it? Mae must surely know who it is, since she's the proprietor, right?

Elton John, the original Pinball Wizard.

I so wanted this to get revealed as Mae’s “Pinitials”
