re: Can I get a history lesson on The Rant's Manning family hatred?

Despite being born and raised in Louisiana, Arch Manning will go to :not LSU.

So he’s like 99% of that state then

Funny how so many think if a kid from La is good at football he’s obligated to play for LSU.

99% of Louisianans don't choose LSU? Interesting... Also, they certainly aren't "obligated" to play for LSU. However, more times than not, if you're born and raised in an area, you typically want to play for your "home state" team. It isn't some foreign or novel concept...

What a crock of shite a friend of mine was born and raised in the same neighborhood as the Mannings, she’s like 7th generation and went to Ole Miss.

And...? What's your point? Again, Uptown and the Garden District neighborhoods of New Orleans have a ton of hoity toity folks, much like the Mannings, that feel they are too good for LSU. However, interestingly enough, they and their children go to the likes of Ole Miss, Alabama, and Georgia instead of "elite" institutions like the Ivy Leagues, Stanford, Notre Dame, Georgetown, MIT, University of Chicago, Michigan, UCLA, and so forth.
