Seeing Peyton giving praise to Les and LSU saturday, made me wonder why neither Eli nor Peyton landed at LSU.....

Is there a reason why they weren't recruited or didn't want to come to LSU? I have never heard a reason that seemed reasonable...

maybe because his father was part of the huge LSU-Ole Miss rivalry?

Would you want your kid to play for Bama just because you lived there?

Archie is God at Ole Miss
Ole Miss hates LSU with a passion
Therefore the Manning's are not LSU fans
I have no idea why Peyton went to UT

Says it all. Hell, Archie told the Chargers - that's a fricking NFL team - that Eli wasn't going to play for them. Only other person I know that worked for was John Elway.

I know around the time Payton was coming into league, Archie always said he never wanted his sons to play for the Saints, and that's the team he played for. Now with the college choices, would you ever want your son to play for one your college's rivals?

I don't think it would have mattered who was coaching LSU or how good the team was. Archie hates LSU. He's never gotten over the absolute thumping LSU gave him in his senior year when he played the game with his arm in a cast.

He could escape Archie's shadow without thumbing his nose at. It's pretty easy to figure out, actually.

Peyton went to the school that offered him the best opportunity at the time for his football career, Eli went to the school where his father played. It's pretty simple....

I enjoyed his comment about ODB Jr. being the best receiver to come out of Neuman since Cooper.
