Just out of curiosity, why do they hold this even at Nicholls State in Thibodaux ever year? Why not hold the event at Tulane?



It started off at Tulane, moved to Southeastern, then it's been at Nicholls for the past 8 years or so. Supposedly, they prefer the campus layout and close proximity of the practice fields.

This plus is very low key, just the way the mannings want it.

I heard that they were offered by disney to hold it out there for $$$$ but Archie and the kids turned it down because thats not the type of camp they want to run. I am not sure whats the exact deal with Nicholls St. but they are there for awhile. The Field is named Manning Field there.

This thing open to the public?


On Saturday evening they'll have a skills competition featuring the college QB's. Peyton and Eli participated last year as well. They do charge for it. I think it's 12 bucks if you get the ticket online and 15 at the gate.

FWIW, AJ McCarton narrowly avoided catching a providing alcohol to minor charge at Roxy's last year during camp. I watched the whole thing go down. Cops were giving MIPs to kids in the bar. One of the kids was telling the cops that AJ had bought him his beer (which I saw first hand). Cops were ready to pull the trigger but AJ was no longer at the bar.

I knew a girl who insisted a very married PM tried to pick her up at a Hammond bar (he failed -- she claimed)
