Roy went down on the sideline.

Speaking of this game...

Cam johnson sure would have been nice to have last year (especially) and this year.

Didn’t it come down to us and UNC when he left Pitt?

When I had the stroke everything started spinning.
Yep.

It’s wild in an Aircraft because you aren’t on your feet so you don’t recognize it right away. Just feels like you’re in a bank (when you’re straight and level) so you try to correct it and add counter controls. Real easy to fly yoursself into the ground without realizing it.

Typically gets brought on in Low vis situations without many visual cues outside the cockpit, like Night/NVG (road lights in the distance can suddenly look like a horizon) or in the clouds. Only way to come out of it is to focus on your instrument readings and trust your eyes instead of what your body is feeling.

I was fortunately on the ground not spinning in the air [laughing] I would have been [poop]ing my pants if I was in the air. Glad you came out of it OK!

Ive had it once and once is once too many.[/QUOTE

I agree. I used to have it quite regular. Had Balloon sinuplasty on my sinuses two years ago and have not had it since. Saying that I’ll probably have tomorrow knowing my luck.

Happened last year as well. It seems his Vertigo is getting worse.

Really wonder how many years he can keep doing this. Wish him the best as far as his health.

If I was in his shoes I’d have to hang it up and spend time with my family.
Vertigo is not life threatening. Why would he have to give up coaching?

I’ve had vertigo many times. Wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

Agreed, I get it sometimes just by watching nephew play video games. Get very flush, dizzy as hell, nauseated. I end up going to bed and staying there rest of the night

Hope Roy’s ok. Pretty sure vertigo isn’t life threatening so give him a Moon Pie and a cola and he should be good to go!

Yep, but we got Knox instead. The question now would be: Knox for one year or Cam for two?
