New Orleans is not really connected with the rest of LA.

Because the only way he could make a living was being a color man for the Saints broadcast team. He made less than $1 Million in his entire NFL career.

Well considering the saints nearly killed him with the product the saints put on the field and the pay was nothing close to what it is now in the nfl they probably owed him a lifetime contract of outside business interests
He earned a nice living off New Orleans

Because his kids grew up in NOLA. Pretty sure they all went to Newman.

Go take a drive around the Garden District in New Orleans.

You’ll see more flags of other SEC schools than LSU.

So why such disdain for LSU?

Because Archie and Olivia are both from the Delta and weren’t going back there. They had their little ancillary bubble in the Garden District to raise the family and a decent sized Ole Miss alumni base in the city to work with.

And selling siding. For a while I think more people knew Archie Manning as the Southern Siding guy than watched him play football.

The Manning gene pool is getting shallow.

A lot of Mississippi people seem to fall in love with NOLA.

Probably because Archie and Olivia went to Ole Miss, which has a long and heated rivalry with LSU. Both Cooper and Eli went to Ole Miss.

Stop melting. Archie and Olivia love New Orleans and all of their kids went to Newman. Cooper married a New Orlrans girl as well. And as far as hating LSU, I would guess that Archie doesn't hate anybody or anything. Also, are you not allowed to live in La. if you are not an LSU fan? For God's sake, he did play for Ole Miss. What would you expect?
