re: Kidney Failure, unknown cause. Dialysis in future.
Posted by TiggerPack5 on 4/7/24 at 2:20 pm to Napoleon
Hey man, I know this is tough news to hear…I am 21, and my Mom is 42. She started having Kidney failure when I was about a year old, and she was diagnosed with Lupus. She has been through 4 kidney transplants(her most recent was Christmas Eve of 22). She has also been on Dialysis all but 6 of those years in my lifetime. She is fortunate enough to have a machine at home, and she can make her own dialysis schedule. I tell you all of this because this might help you in your struggles. My mom has always felt bad we might not have been able to do anything because she thinks her doing dialysis might hinder trips or stuff like that. It has never hindered a single thing in my life, we have both quite literally traveled the world while she has done dialysis. We recently were fortunate enough to go to Europe and we went on a 12 night cruise in the Med. Greek Isles, she was able to travel with her machine and we did dialysis on the cruise ship.
If you are able to get a dialysis machine, your everyday life will be the exact same pretty much, besides the time you are doing dialysis. My mom found it best for her to do it most days a week for 3-3 1/2 hours a day. She would just read or watch a Tv show during this time.
Ik you can also do a method of Dialysis where you are on the machine while you are sleeping through the night. Just depends on what you prefer. If you have to go to a clinic to do Dialysis you will probably have to slightly change your schedule to be able to go to the clinic a few times a week(but this means it will be longer on the machine because it is less times a week).
Long story short, you will pretty much be able to do everything you are already doing, you just have to put a few hours X amount of days aside to be on a machine to filter your blood. You might feel weak or bad every now and then if something comes up and you can’t do dialysis one day, but most of the time(as my Mom explains to people) “I live a perfectly normal life, its just a matter of scheduling that is different)
I understand its awful news you didn’t want to hear, and it will be a life-adjustment. However, try your best to remain positive and lean on God if you are struggling with anything…he is always there for you even if you don’t see it. Praying for you!

Nah, man. I'm also very young. 21, and I graduate college in a month. Lots of great advice that I will keep in mind when the time comes around. 
re: Is taking a week off the gym okay?
Posted by TiggerPack5 on 3/11/24 at 12:12 pm to LSUNWO1988
I don't know what your goals for the gym are, but regardless, Yes, its actually good every once in a while to "De-load". Sometimes if you are working out 5-6 times a week, eating proper intake meals, and getting plenty of rest in between, its ok to take a De-load week every once in a while. Even if you only work out a few days a week, its still good to De-load. You are bedridden, so you can't control that, just rest up try to get as much protein in as you can and stay safe man. You'll be back in no time 
re: Dealing with Plantar fasciitis
Posted by TiggerPack5 on 1/26/24 at 11:43 am to STigers
I had Plantar Fasciitis when I was in Middle School and I was on the Cross Country team. It was awful, and it was every step I took I felt like I was being stabbed in the heel. I didn't think anything was wrong with it at first, but eventually, I told my mom about it.
We went to a Doctor about it and he recommended I get better running shoes(Asics) with a lot more support, and he also recommended I put gel inserts into them for even more support. I also had to get taped a certain way by the doctor and had to go back a few times to get re-taped. Funny thing about this was the Doctor told me that this only usually occurred with middle-aged men that were runners, and he had never really seen a kid have this problem.
I don't remember exactly how long it took to recover, but I think it healed on its own after a few weeks to a month.

I think he was also great, but he was slow at some points with his instincts. Should get better with more playing time

I'm young and dumb...but why don't we use cowbells at Tiger Stadium...I am fully aware that we have no ties to a cowbell, but I could only imagine how loud Deaf Valley would get with 102,321 fans using cowbells 
re: PERKINS
Posted by TiggerPack5 on 9/5/23 at 9:50 am to PoLy
I think Perkins played back in coverage to give our atrociously average corners some help. Kelly knew our corners were terrible, that's why we didn't blitz Perk or others as much or we would have seen Coleman over Burns plays every single play

re: Who is going to hire Ryans for HC in NFL?

Texans. They interviewed him a few days ago, and according to insiders and analysts, it went “extremely well for both sides” Ryans was supposed to interview with the Colts and another team this week, but after the Texans interview he canceled those other interviews.
re: Reason for Nussmeier Alternating with Daniels
Posted by TiggerPack5 on 1/4/23 at 12:22 pm to jp4lsu
I don’t understand why Nuss would transfer regardless if he starts this year or not…He is basically the starter when Jayden leaves after next season, and he will be the face of this LSU team that will look to make a push for the National Championship in Year 3 of the Brian Kelly Era…It would be dumb for him to be impatient, though, if he were to transfer I could see him heading to TCU
re: Ohio State kicker nailed a 48 yard fg with 2 minutes left from the exact same spot
Posted by TiggerPack5 on 1/1/23 at 3:32 pm to Cut me Mick
That 48 fg BARELY went in…literally almost skipped off the cross bar, I knew before he even attempted the kick he would shank it because he was gonna try to boot the life out of it.

re: Reality Check: I am fat
Posted by TiggerPack5 on 11/14/22 at 7:11 pm to Taxman2010
You don’t have to do all this fancy shmancy stuff to lose weight. You don’t need to run a marathon everyday and cut out everybit of sugar either. Just do some weightlifting if you want, power walk on a high incline for as long as you can everyday, and just eat optimally without eating 10 bags of jellybeans in a sitting. Walking on high incline burns more calories than running. It works wonders, but most importantly…Stay consistent, good luck Bud
re: What is our defensive strengths?
Posted by TiggerPack5 on 11/11/22 at 9:06 am to cajuntiger1010
Honestly, the unity of the defense. Over the past few years we have had so much pettiness and drama on the defensive side of the ball, and its felt like they were playing for themselves and not each other. We have a group of guys that are all close friends, truly care about the program and one another that they are willing to go out and do whatever it takes. It’s like we are actually playing as a team.
Those of you questioning the Neyland vs. Tiger Stadium atmosphere...
Posted by TiggerPack5 on 11/7/22 at 3:45 pm
Neyland was ROCKING that night against Alabama, no question. We all know about what Saban and his players had to say about being "Intimidated" before the game. Here's my opinion: If you are Alabama in this situation, OF COURSE you are going to be intimidated pre-game because you have no idea what to expect. As someone that lives in TN and has to deal with all these delusional Vol fans...they had been circling that game all season, and once they realized it was going to be a good game...Good Lord, you would think it's the National Championship game. Now take that how you want, either as excuses by the players or simply because they had no idea what to expect, but TN has not had that kind of atmosphere in who knows how long...
In regards to Tiger Stadium, if you are Alabama, for the most part, you know what Tiger Stadium is going to bring. It's deafening, chaotic, and we have the best fans on the planet. There is no question that Tiger Stadium has a reputation by players from old and new that say its the loudest and hardest stadium to play in. Im not saying Alabama is prepared for the chaos, but they know EXACTLY what they are going to get for a Saturday night in Death Valley.
Now, I know Alabama had more false starts in Knoxville and LSU's atmosphere was arguably the best ALL-TIME this weekend, BUT...Bryce Young played like I probably would in the first half. Bryce Young didn't look NEARLY as fazed at Neyland. Part of that was obviously how incredible the defense was, but man, We, the fans, brought the heat for Every snap of the Football game. Young's stat-line in the first half, and for most of the game should tell you the answer in regards to the best Atmosphere.
I'm not even gonna talk about the multiple Earthquake's caught on the seismograph or the 133dB level either. Nothing is CLOSE to Tiger Stadium's atmosphere, end of discussion, send this to your friends and post it elsewhere, I better not hear another comment about any other stadium in the country.

Nov. 5, 2022, The "Two Point Won" Game
re: Breakfast recommendations in Fayetteville for Saturday
Posted by TiggerPack5 on 11/7/22 at 11:36 am to LSUguy2023
I went to Fayetteville about a year or two to visit friends that go to Arkansas. We went to “Prelude Breakfast Bar” one morning, and it was AMAZING. You NEED to go here, we got there right as it opened because it gets pretty busy. The food was fantastic, favorite restaurant we went to the entire weekend.

I was at the game, section 418. Everyone around me was in disbelief, but we all trusted the play. I actually told everyone around me the play Coach Kelly SHOULD run…and it just so happened to be the one that won us the game:,)

Never been to a LSU Bama game, been a Dream of mine for as long as I can remember(I’m only 20). Im equal to about 20 other LSU fans alone without any alcohol consumption. I’ll do my part:)
This theoretical scenario would cause CHAOS...
Posted by TiggerPack5 on 11/3/22 at 11:49 am
This weekend is HUGE in determining the East and the West division in the SEC...but what if it leads to more chaos? If LSU beats Alabama this weekend, the West is ours to lose. However, if Bama beats LSU, Bama would hold the tiebreaker if they were to lose again. To make this scenario become as chaotic as possible, what if that loss is to Ole Miss??? This would mean that the SEC West would have a three-way tiebreaker for the top spot. LSU, Bama, and Ole Miss would all be 8-2 in conference play. However, do to the overall records LSU would be out of it, and then Ole Miss would have the tiebreaker against Bama. I obviously hope this doesn't happen, but its fun to think a three-way tie for the SEC West could happen.
