"Archie Manning is a folk hero," Mississippi historian David Sansing said. "He's not a celebrity. He's a folk hero. The difference is they write songs about celebrities, but they write ballads about folk heroes."

Yeah, I read that article yesterday. I couldn't believe that David Sansing was still at the University. He taught some of my history major friends back in the early 70's. He was there when Archie was playing. I think Archie & I graduated the same year.

i'm just glad we have eli...though i feel a little sorry for the kid. If he had gone to a powerhouse school...if he had a world of talent around him on the oline and on defense....he would turn soooooo many more heads and rack up some HUGE numbers. Gotta give it to him for following his heart and not what would be the popular thing to do.

though......if he gets hurt, we're foked. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />
