The Book Of Manning (9-24-13)

[utvolz98]

Great documentary about a great family! Peyton solidified my love for the Vols when I was in the sixth grade and watched him beat up on Alabama at Legion Field in Birmingham.

 

[Pulscifer]

Crazy how close it was that Peyton might not have been a Vol.

 

[vols 30]

UT never played Ole Miss when Eli was the QB?

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

That was great

 

[JAEvans24]

That was a great documentary. I'm even more impressed with Archie as a college football player.

 

[vol_in_ar]

Absolutely great show....

 

[Volinnooga]

That really was good. Makes any Dad wish he could be a rather like Archie.

 

[Aesius]

What are the chances Eli comes to UT if Cutcliffe hadn't left to coach at Ole Miss?

UT never played Ole Miss when Eli was the QB?

No. They were a rotated SEC West team. UT played them in 1996-97 and again in 2004-05.

In between UT played:

Auburn in '98-99
LSU in '00-01
Miss St. in '02-03

I'm more impressed at how great of a father he is.

The show made it sound like he was determined to go to Ole Miss. Im not sure if it was so much because of Cut or not.

I'm more impressed at how great of a father he is.

This. Him in disguise in the crowds was hilarious.

Wife and I are expecting our first child in about 3 weeks. Hope I'm half the dad to my son as Archie is to his boys. "As long as he grows up to be a good person."

Congrats and good luck!

I'm sure you'll do just fine in the dad dept.!

That was one of the best things I've ever seen on tv, especially ESPN. As someone stated earlier, I'm so impressed with Archie as a father. Great man.

Thanks!

 

[Boca Vol]

Thanks!

You're welcome! :good!:

I didn't realize Archie was such a beast on the field! If every father was as supportive and caring as Archie the world would be a much better place.

 

[Vegas_Ferguson]

Terrific film. The father-son relationship angle about Archie losing his dad was very powerful but never got overly sentimental. Peyton runs off the field to the sidelines like Archie and that's where the "running" similarity ends.

 

[allvol9]

Go Archie! So impressed with him as a person and father. Wish all kids had someone like him. Learned alot that I didn't know.....what a wonderful tribute. Makes me proud to have Peyton as a VFL!

 

[JCP201]

I didn't know that about Peyton/Eli's brother.. One bad hit and he could have been paralyzed or he would have probably been a fantastic wide receiver. (and Peyton would have probably went to Mississippi)

The Book of Manning is so good!

 

[apkvol]

It was a great piece about a great family!

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

The Book of Manning is so good!

Yep

 

[jacobyvoln27]

I really enjoyed this. Archie is a true class act, like others say I hope I am a dad like him to my two boys.
