We will pull together, sometimes it takes a little time and coaxing.

On that note, I will pass along this little tidbit of info that some of you younger guys may not have known.

Archie Manning, when he was between the ages of around 18 and 22, was public enemy numero uno in Louisiana. He and his Rebels put blemishes on a couple of LSU promising seasons, if I'm remembering this right...and was not so welcome by all Saint fans in those first few years. I think there are some who still haven't totally forgotten.

I will never forget the headline of the TP Sunday morning after Ole Miss burned the Tigers his Jr. year. It read,

"Yes, Virginia, there is a Superman...and he wears #18 for the Ole Miss Rebels".

Suffice it to say that the Tigers did get their revenge on Archie his Sr. year when they beat Archie and the Rebs soundly, somewhere around fitty. Archie had a cast on his whole left arm, but not making excuses.
