You have it backwards. A statement without qualification is much stronger: it is an assertion of fact. Qualifying a statement with "apparently" always introduces the possibility of a distinction between appearance and fact.

"A stick immersed at an angle in water apparently bends at the water line." "The candidate, apparently speaking impromptu and from the heart, was reading a handler's words from a teleprompter." "Apparently he stepped out of bounds, but the play will be reviewed." "The magician apparently sawed his sidekick in half." "Apparently" is not an intensifier. Some appearances are misleading.

It is apparent to me that you are correct, Sir. Jimbo was throwing shade at the idea that is how it went down.

My bad. You said frat party, so I made an incorrect assumption about the ages.
I took my ten year old son to a chiefs game once (advertised as a family activity). Went to concession stand and there was a fiftyish drunk guy behind me dropping f bombs left and right. I gestured to my son and said “do you mind?” He said “I’m sure he’s heard it before”. I told him he actually had not. He stood there looking sheepish. It bothers me that you can’t go anywhere public without people dropping f bombs everywhere.

I have absolutely noticed different types of folks in different areas. Not gonna get into "class" or demographic discussions, but it does appear to affect the game experience. When we first start getting season tickets, we were in areas that were full of some real gems. Still see some dumb stuff...guy that sat next to us last year tended to get louder, more obnoxious, and more confrontational the more he drank. Never got out of hand, but the overpriced Neyland beers were definitely loosening his tongue. Of course the SCjr fans he was mixing it up probably had it coming, but still.

I think it's doubtful that the guest picker will be Candace Parker, mainly because she's under contract for broadcasting with Turner Sports. I know ESPN got Barkley in the past, but that has to be more expensive for them because Turner's not letting them show up for free. Peyton is already under contract with ESPN, so that's an easy move. They may pair him with Tebow just to please both sides.
