re: Archie Manning stepping down from Commitee

TA: he's one of the most easy to like guys in college football. He doesn't want to give people a reason to hate him. Especially in Mississippi.

He's one of the most neutral and universally liked people in sports. It isn't like him to be anywhere near a lightning rod for criticism - which this committee will be. The way this season is playing out, they better be fortifying their bunkers.

I agree it was a political decision. I just think it kind of hurts the perception of the committee for people to be jumping ship already.
