re: Anyone had Bell's Palsy? (UPDATE--Pg. 5)
Posted by DaSaltyTiger on 7/21/13 at 11:40 am
[quote]There is no link between Bell's palsy and a stroke [/quote]
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 recove...

[quote]Older generation people tell me this is what causes it BTW. I had FWIW. [/quote]
It can be caught from a draft. However, it can also occur due to infection or insult to the brain (i.e. blow to the head). Just because you are in one of these three situations doesn't mean you will get it. ...

Had it 20 years ago. Lasted for about three months. Hit left side of face. Gave my hearing hell for a couple of years, and hit the inner ear as well. Can leave permanent damage, although it doesn't always do that. In my case, I was left with a slight paralysis with my left eye lid and left corn...

The idea of an 11:00 game anywhere in Louisiana is repugnant! Saturday nights were made for College Football in this state. We'll see as we get a little closer to the date. ...
re: Gregg Doyel: "boot talented, troubled Hill"

[quote]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 ne...

It was a good era.

Yeah, that has been the feeling I have had and there are others who would attest to this as well. I know times cha...

[quote]LSU valued too many people's "dollars" over my "loyalty and support". [/quote]
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 ...

[quote]I could care less about going to games now, last year I went to 2 total. When I can watch on TV with friends and not deal with the heat/humidity/idiots all day. Much more enjoyable experience but maybe it is just me getting older.[/quote]
I am afraid that is the case here, too. :lol:...

[quote]but if it gets anymore expensive, not gonna be worth it. [/quote]
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 w...
re: Switching over to Artificial Turf in Tiger Stadium is a great idea.
Posted by DaSaltyTiger on 7/10/13 at 3:39 pm
Evidently, some have never played on artificial turf. I got to once - would prefer grass any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Let LSU be college. Instead of trying to turn LSU into the NFL, just go to a fricking NFL game....

Posted by DaSaltyTiger on 7/10/13 at 11:01 am
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 mu...

The couple of times we were there, we were glad to be there. Granted, we are better now, but never ever say never as there will be a season at some point in the future (hopefully distant).

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, St...

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 ...
