I posted this in a thread about recruitment at Ole Miss, but feel so strongly about this show that I wanted to post here:
If you haven't yet seen ESPN's The Book of Manning do yourself a favor and make sure you do. Whether you're an Ole Miss fan or not, you'll definitely find this show inspiring to say the least.
It's a wonderful story about fathers and sons (kids in general), football, college, and it will cause you to reach for the kleenex multiple times.
As a long-suffering life-long Saints fan and a fairly new Ole Miss fan, my heart swelled with pride. I've met Archie on several occasions several years ago while in the corporate world. He is genuinely a nice guy and very humble and it comes across in this documentary.
Do a search for SEC Storied: The Book of Manning and DVR it, then watch it with your family. Hubby and I cried several times and we just watched it with the dog! When both kids come home for Thanksgiving, we'll sit down and watch it again with them.
Here's a link to the trailer:

I just can't recommend it enough....#WHODAT #HOTTYTODDY!
