I don't understand why some of you think that he was the reason that Peyton didn't come here. Cutcliffe wasn't at LSU. Regardless of what the recruiting sites might have said, we never had a shot.

Honestly, Cutcliffe could have been at LSU, neither would have come. LSU was not on either's short list. Archie is an Ole Miss grad and grew up despising the Tigers. As a gentleman, he does not profess it publicly.

I'll bet Olivia would have been thrilled to death if any of her sons attended LSU.

You're probably right. Archie was obviously not an LSU fan and I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that his kids weren't either.

Some dude that used to play QB and hates LSU because he played for Ole Miss. That's all I know about him other than he has some sons that play QB too.

It wasn't like archie was the next best thing to bread while he was in college and the NFL.


tenn- cutcliff
om- cutcliff
tenn- fulmer
lsu- hallman who was on hot seat
lsu- booty
tenn- ?????
om- archie al ma mater
lsu- rival of archies
lsu- in state school no love for mannings (did not worship them)
lsu- saban (eli and archie scared of satan)
om- head coach (damn if I can remember)

Bottom line peyton and eli never were coming to LSU and oh well other than peyton what did ELI do at OM.

I have no idea why Peyton went to UT

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

No. He went to Tennessee because Ole Miss was on probation, and Tennessee was not scheduled to play LSU or Ole Miss in the 4 years he was going to be in school there.

The Peyton family is a class act. With all the negativity over the years with new orleans, they have brought some pride and respect back to the city.

I agree. There is a lot of hate from some LSU fans about Peyton and Eli not coming to LSU but the Mannings are indeed a class act. I love LSU and college football but I would never give someone shite for choosing to go elsewhere.
