More information about this article... The following comments have been left for this page: I was a high school kid in Louisiana when Archie was playing for Ole Miss. I will never forget the televised game between Ole Miss and LSU, in 1969 I think, when Archie played with a broken arm in a cast. His performance was impressive and the game was hard fought to the end. I remember him bending over somewhat and holding his broken arm in pain on more than one occasion. I have rarely seen such a display of devotion to one's team, determination, and mental toughness. I found myself routing for LSU and Archie and for Ole Miss at the same, very confusing. (I was born in Grenada, Miss). Archie won my and many others life long admiration that night. I wish his sons well in their football careers and enjoy watching them play. I will be watching Eli in his Super Bowl debute this year, as I watched Payton's before. I can see their Dad in both of them on the field. I just wish Archie could have had a good team around him in the NFL, Super Bowl history would include 3 Mannings if that had been the case.

[edit] Cooper Manning

When one clicks on Cooper Manning it redirects them to this page. Is there a page on cooper or is it a broken link? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Superbowlbound (talk • contribs) 03:31, 9 January 2007 (UTC).

I fixed the redirect so it points directly to Cooper's subentry here. I also created an actual substub here. fethers 04:21, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Photograph

I am looking forward to seeing a photo of Archie Manning here in the future. McTrixie/Mr Accountable 16:51, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Name

Archie Manning's name is Achie not Elisha, Elisha is Archie Manning's father's name. I read the book he wrote. Also Archie was born in Drew, Mississippi... maybe the guy who originally wrote this was copying the bio of Archie's dad. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.225.240.109 (talk • contribs) 22:06, 17 November 2007

[edit] Birthplace

According to the College Football HOF, he was born in Cleveland, but went to HS in Drew. --rogerd (talk) 03:20, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Check this out?

What does the line mean about 2 of 4 passes for 78 yards. Was that his final season? Because the touchdown / interception has to be career-long. Help?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.230.240.158 (talk) 02:33, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

This page has been heavily vandalized over the last few days. -- kainaw™ 19:36, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 'Ole Miss' ?

The article several times refers to University of Mississippi as "Ole Miss". Is it appropriate to refer to an academic institution by its nickname? I'm not sure if there is a Wikipedia policy on this, but the common sense test tells me that such terminology doesn't belong in an encyclopedia. --Yesteraeon (talk) 18:12, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

I was wondering how to make a new page? Anybody know how? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Freako976 (talk • contribs) 20:40, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cooper Manning

You guys are right. There should be an article on Cooper Manning. I would like to make one, but I don't know how to make a new page. Anybody know how? Freako976 (talk) 14:38, 26 April 2008 (UTC)--Freako976 (talk) 14:38, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
