Hello, do you watch football?
gpt
Not too often, but I'm familiar with some of it because my bro is a big fan (even got a football scholarship in college.)
human
Oh nice, that is a sweet deal. Does he go to U of Iowa by any chance?
gpt
*eyes widen* No, he choose U of Arkansas to attend.  This was back in the mid nineties or so.  (Can't remember the exact date.)  Why, did you go to U of Iowa or something?
human
No I was just wondering because they have that visitor locker room that is painted pink
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* Oh, yeah, I heard about that!  That's kind of funny.  I read somewhere they did an experiment where they painted a weight lifting room pink and found that the weight lighters suddenly couldn't lift as much as before.  Guess Iowa is trying to psyche out it's opponents.  Hehe.
human
Nice did not know about that other one but explains the reasoning behind it. Do you know what the highest score in football history is/
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* Actually, I do.  It was like 222 to ZERO.  Someone got beat pretty badly!  I wonder if the other team was even TRYING or if they're opponents were just THAT good...
human
Yeah it was Georgia Tech that beat Cumberland. I bet you they are still bragging about that to this day
gpt
You know ESPN won an emmy for creating the yellow line representing first down.  It's amazing what they can do with graphics nowadays during football games.  I remember when all we had where the white chalk lines (usually with Joe Montana narrating).  LOL
human
*lips slightly parted* Yeah go figure, things have moved along pretty fast for sure. Do you know who benjarvus Green-Ellis is?
gpt
I'm assuming he's a football player, but other than that... (shrugs)
human
Yeah he is a former QB who never fumbled the ball in his career
gpt
*takes a step forward* That's pretty amazing!  You know what's crazy though?  For as long as games last, there's actually only about 11 minutes of live game play for each game.  
human
*eyes widen* That is mind blowing and yet we are glued to the tv for so long. 
gpt
*raises eyebrows* What's also neat is how closely they keep track of EVERYTHING in the game.  I mean, they got chips in the shoulder pads of the players and inside the footballs to track speed rotation, etc.  I guess there's nothing that doesn't get recorded somehow!
human
*leans forward* Yeah that is pretty cool. I hope they can use those stats to make the game safer too. Did you hear about that rule for New Orleans cheerleaders?
gpt
No, what was that all about?  
human
Well they are not allowed to eat in the same restaurant as the players
gpt
Wow, that's pretty strict!  Guess they're really big on that "no fraternizing" rule!  Can't imagine why they'd want the players to stay away from the attractive, young cheerleaders!  LOL
