Recruiting Football Talk VIII

I feel cautiously optimistic about tomorrow. I’m disappointed about the Arkansas performance and we certainly have issues with the team, namely the OL.

However, this team plays much better at home and the crowd will be in a frenzy and will help feed the team. It’s nuts that it’s been nearly a month since we’ve had a home game.

I think our defense will play well and limit the Gators on offense.

The offense will have a better ability to move the ball with a quiet crowd behind them.

This is the week to try and shore up issues and silence critics. Hopefully we get back on track. Unfortunately, I think Florida covers that +15.5 line and makes us sweat for a lot of the game.

Does anyone think UK has a hard time beating Vandy by 14?

Well they have been having a couple of NFL games over there in England the past few years, but I think even Vandy is better at football than the UK. Now if they're playing soccer that's a whole nuther ballgame.

Seriously, I think Kentucky should win but that little Pavlov fella is an x-factor.

That picture is not from season one. Bill Murray didn't join the cast until season two. He replaced Chevy Chase, who left after season one.

How hard do you think you'd have to punch a grizzly bear to knock it out in 1 shot? What about a silverback gorilla?

You think someone throwing a punch a hard as Mike Tyson's hardest hit could do it or do you think humans are just physically incapable of hitting that hard?

Maybe not knock the bear out but maybe daze him enough and give him a slight concussion. Then quickly lecture the bear on the deleterious effects of CTE.

Lots of people assume Bill Murray was original cast. They make a similar mistake with Steve Martin because he was a frequent host in the early days but was never actually a cast member.

Count me as one...........I would have sworn Murray was original. ☺️

Long story short, fact checking is not your enemy?

That all depends.."facts" are twisted, it is often hard to find the real objective "facts", they are usually buried under tons of 🦬💩 by the gatekeepers of information.

As @rikberry31 or somebody else was saying...you can measure actually Calls, but how do you measure No-Calls? You know they happen, but they obfuscate the truth by feigning innocence...it is feeaking impossible that Alabama or Arky committed no live ball fouls, so the obvious truth is...they purposefully did not call offensive or defensive holding, or pass interference, I am not sure of the why this keeps happening to US, but I know it does, and you can not make believe that in a 5 point game that it wasn't a big difference.

In other words...you don't have to see the wind, to know it is blowing.

I agree with one exception. Stating the very simple statistics on games can be misleading. However, a comprehensive statistical analysis with an adequate sample size, rightly interpreted often tells the true story (within a 95% confidence interval, sorry math nerd joke) Many things, in terms of the officiatiing of Tennessee ball games, cause me to reject the null hypothesis. One being the officials are applying the same standard to both teams and another that the officiating is no having effects on those ball games. When someone has a hand with four aces three times in a game it's possible but highly unlikely. If he does it every week...

Did you know Bill Murray's Ghostbusters role was originally written for John Belushi?
Click to expand...
I didn't know that........

look at this.........


National Lampoon’s Animal House (1978)​



The role: “Boone” Schoenstein

Who got it: Peter Riegert

The original plan was to cast Chevy Chase as Otter, Bill Murray as Boon, Dan Aykroyd as D-Day, and of course, John Belushi as Bluto. Chevy Chase was interested but chose to make Foul Play instead. Scheduling conflicts with SNL allowed for only Belushi to accept his part. Lorne Michaels didn’t want three of his most popular cast members spending half the week in Hollywood filming Animal House instead of prepping for the show.

I knew the bit about Chevy Chase. Didn't know about Murray and Aykroyd.
