There is no link between Bell's palsy and a stroke

---

The onset of mine occurred during a hospital get together. I quickly realized that if I was cognitively able to run down a "checklist" I wasn't having a stroke. (Had a mild one of those a couple of years ago, as well, and recovered over a year) Fortunately, my then boss was the hospital medical director. He had security take me to his office where he examined me and told me what the real problem was. Had never heard of Bell's Palsy before that.

But I still have a couple lingering effects. One of my eyelids is droopier and I have what my friend named side mouth, which mostly just comes out when I'm drinking or stressed

---

Paige, I can relate. No one can accuse me of talking out of both sides of my mouth as the left corner has a slight paralysis. As to you comment about feeling ugly .... I was there. Also, did not go out to eat for several months.

In your fricking dreams. Do ya'll still gang rape that poor dog the night before the game?

Personally as a father to 3 daughters I would have never given Hill a sholorship after his 1st incident. That should have been enough to signal what kind of person Jeremy Hill is. There is no doubt of his talents on the football field but I have zero respect for him as a human being. Miles needs to do the right thing and let him go for his own good. If he is only suspended for 2 games what kind of lesson does this teach him?

---

I agree. Moreso, what kind of lesson does this teach the team? Long story short, one strike should be enough. He's a damned thug just like JJ was. Time for him to go.

Let him put 1500 yds rushing and 25 TDs on the board and see how many rantards want him expelled...just sayin

Priorities are way out of whack. I work in the legal system. This is actually light compared to what I have seen for similar offenses. LSU will also have some soul searching to do. Is this what you want to represent the university and the football program? Will Les send the message that it's ok to do this shite? Doubt it. He's just letting things play out before he does what he has to do.

LSU valued too many people's "dollars" over my "loyalty and support".

---

You know, I have followed LSU actively since 1967. That was essentially from high school to college to profession.

That remark you made is something I have been feeling for awhile. Maybe we are getting old and times are changing. However, it is good to know that I am not the only one who has been picking up this vibe.

I can only hope that someone in Joe A.'s gang is reading this.

I am sure there will always be someone out there who will pick up the tickets when we let them go. However, the fan base that was once loyal will be alienated. The so-called fan base coming in, won't be there when LSU needs them the most and given that most things do go in cycles, those times will eventually return.

but if it gets anymore expensive, not gonna be worth it.

I will either let mine go when I retire or transfer them to my son when I retire. Either way, once I arrive at that point in about three or four years I think I would rather spend my money on other things.

Don't get me wrong. I love the place. However, games are more often in day than at night. Prices are only getting higher. We are too packed together in there. Parking has turned into a bitch. For what I spend, I could probably get a very nice big TV and enjoy the game in my den.

I had four seats at one time for about 20 years and let them go. I eventually got one seat back in a better location. The prices are getting to be a factor in keeping season tickets. I would love to have two tickets and probably will within the next year. That said, however, I am not sure how much longer I will keep them. Parking is getting to be more of a bitch, and the TAF stuff is getting to be more of a pain. I enjoy the hell out of it, but as an earlier poster indicated, it is no longer the center of my universe as it was 40 years ago. I might take the money and buy the biggest TV screen it will afford and enjoy the games in my den. The den is air-conditioned, I have a clean bathroom, better tasting and cheaper concessions, and can diddle the girlfriend on the couch during halftime. :cheers:

I was skeptical at first, but he has done a pretty good job overall. Yes, there have been some disappointments and even embarrassments. However, he has a NC under his belt. A lot of beloved coaches out there don't.

Compared to a couple of the goobers we have had (Hallman, Archer, Hallman, Stovall, Hallman, did I mention that rat bastard Curley?) Miles is actually quite a welcome relief. He seems like a regular guy, wins a lot, and doesn't insist on fans kissing his dick like Saban. Saban was good, but he was a goddamned prick, even to some in the Athletic Dept).

Dinardo sure did like to play with the uniform.

Actually, he didn't play with it that often. The White Helments, Gold Jeserys and White Pants were used when Vandy refused to let us wear white at home, the first year we were wearing white at home (at that time visiting team had to agree; that's changed since). It was strictly to frick with Vandy. However, he decided to also use it at the two bowls he took us to. Not really many bitching at the time as we were all just shite tickled to be in a damned bowl game again. The biggest debacle was the Purple Pants against Kentucky, in one of the messiest games, not to mention shittest of that era. Those purple pants were probably piled up and burned after that game. That shite was so ugly that no one EVER wanted to see those pants again, not to mention the game sucked and Kentucky won that night in the rain. :lol:
