To throw more confusion into the "Who will Arch Manning pick?" drama, the QB recruit told On3 earlier this week that Athens is the "best college town" he's been to so far...

quote:
“I love coach Kirby (Smart), and he’s a real normal guy, a great coach," he said, via On3. "Georgia, the takeaway from practice there, is that they have athletes all over the field, especially on the defensive line. They have some studs and it shows; they had 15 players drafted. Athens is probably the best college town I’ve ever been to. The coaches are all good people, they know how to win, know what it takes, and it was cool seeing that.”

This kid better be the second coming of Tom Brady for as much hype as he’s gotten.

More Arch please. We need to know EVERYTHING he does

You do know that every time YOU and everyone else clicks on an Arch Manning story, it tells the website that they will make more advertising money if they write more Arch Manning stories? Clicks (regardless of why you click) = money.

Don't want Arch Manning stories...don't click.

Athens is great but their Alumni, students, and fans suck bulldog dick

If this kid started dating Lindsey Vonn or Paige, Larry would have an aneurysm.

He’s not wrong about Athens…..easily the best in the SEC.

ImBatman•50 months

Lmaoays!

kywildcatfanone•50 months

He's going to Ole Miss. Not sure why this is even being debated.

LSUrme•50 months

Getting sick of these, but I don't disagree with him. Athens is the sh!t as far as a true college town.

Tdement•50 months

They must of removed all the bums off the streets before he came

TommyDaTiger•50 months

He’s soooooooo right. In fact had the luxury to visit many in my day, in fact all of the new expanded SEC 16 with the exception being Missouri. Without a doubt my 1A and 1B are Austin and Athens. They’re just really cool tbh

I had him pegged to Georgia before I knew he loved Athens. Too bad there’s no betting sites where you can bet on where a HS recruit lands. Georgia lock. No skin off our arse, our QB room is fine.

So sick of hearing about this dude.

Do you need a tutor to show you how to pass these post up and not respond.

The town may be great. Been to a few games in Athens. I would not rate the game day atmosphere in the top 6 in the SEC. Terrain makes it hard to have large clusters of tail gating. I was expecting more and came away unimpressed. I’d say it was underwhelming and overrated.

You want a cow field?

BrotherDawg84•50 months

Why do you need large clusters? It's not NASCAR.

KAGTASTIC•50 months

Is there a list of schools he has visited? I'm guessing lots are unofficial visits. Or did the 5 limit end in the official visits?

Hawgnsincebirth55•50 months

Sounds like that’s where he got the most poon

Rex Feral•50 months

Maybe he'll get to visit Athens at least once when he signs with Texas.

Godfather1•50 months

He’s gonna end up at Georgia because he thinks he can immediately beat out Bennett.
