There are many places along Northside Drive adjacent the stadium. Private lots, but the folks there watch the vehicles closely, most are there tailgating. I have parked there for years and have never had a problem.

I was always an LSU fan. When I came home from Vietnam, I attended my first live LSU game at Grant Field in Atlanta for the first Peach Bowl against FSU. It was cold and raining, but LSU pulled out a victory at the end.

Two days later I came down with the Hong Kong Flu and I have never been so sick in my life. I could not get out of the bed for three days, but I will always remember that game and so excited to finally see my Tigers in person.

After coming home from the war, I finally felt I was once again a normal person.

Well, Clark...some of us old farts like me had just finished our second tour in Vietnam. I was at the game and also at the game in Legion Field against Bama. Hamilton was good and football was good, then and now. It was a big deal to go up against Notre Dame and let the big media realize that southern boys could play football.

I think Peter Burns had to come and replace him last week...Paul got sick during his show. I assume he is on vacation and recovering awaiting the SEC Media days next week. He is an Alabama homer, and a majority of his callers are Bama clowns, but I watch it occasionally to get some SEC football news. I just filter out most of the idiots by recording and fast-forwarding.

Johnson has a new team. He is at a point where he is playing a lot of players in an effort to evaluate. Be patient and let him coach. A month from now I think we will see a much better team. It is all trial and error right now...a lot of errors.

I had an hour-long conversation with Joe Dean regards the firing of Dinardo. Joe was defensive and not ready to pull the trigger. I ended the conversation by saying, "Joe, either do it now or do it later...it is inevitable." He finally did. I take no responsibility, but I did add fuel to the fire. Dinardo was his own worst enemy when it came to his assistants...micro-manager and paranoid.

with screws and plates, it will take about 6 to 8 weeks of healing with his age, physical fitness and current treatments. I would expect him to be on the practice field in shells within 5 to 6 weeks running through no contact skill drills if he wishes. The fracture, barring complications, will be healed within two months. I could see Myles being on the field by mid October. He will be in a cast and sling for several weeks to stabilize the fracture, but will still be able to maintain some conditioning that does not require a lot of balance...speed walking, slow jogging, leg work on equipment, etc. I am no doctor; this info came from my friend who is an orthopedic surgeon and has dealt with many fractures such as this.

Florida and Auburn very beatable. A&M will be a fight...a lot of returning starters, but a question at QB. Bama lost a lot and will have a young, talented team and with their recruiting efforts they will be tough in 2022....but so shall we. I see a good season for LSU, but still some questions on defense to be worked through. Bama, LSU and A&M will battle it out in the west.

Mason always had defenses that played hard...just very little talent to compete in the SEC.

True, maybe not the best analogy(military/ football players), but quitting is quitting. Even if it is checkers, because your big brother beats you constantly.
