How do you make a post about Louisiana athletes and omit the Mannings?

the humidity is the number 1 reason, also highschool sports are huge in the bayou state.

our WRs have not been so awesome in the NFL, though. Bowe is by far the best pro we've had lately.

You could make a very dominant football team with Louisiana athletes currently in the NFL.

Hadn't we wont the NC the like a month before Bowe committed? Anyway, if we are arguing about something, I'm ill-informed as to what it is?

He's talking about Ed Reed.
What position did we want Marshall Faulk to play again?

Wasn't just us- Tulane, Southern Miss,etc... would have moved him to CB. That's why he ended up at San Diego St.

it is either us or Ohio State, think they have had 4 1st rounders from the last 4 drafts
I was just thinking that. Rivals.com did a position u series about 3 years ago in which they named Ohio State as Wide Receiver U.
LINK
They give honorable mention to Arkansas, Florida State, Florida, LSU, Miami, Michigan State, Tennessee, and Texas A&M.
Since the date that the article was written, Ohio State has had 3 more wide receivers drafted in the first round (Santonio Holmes, Ted Ginn Jr, Anthony Gonzalez) and 4 overall (Roy Hall). In that time LSU has produced 2 more first round wide receivers (Dwayne Bowe, Craig Davis) and 5 overall (Skyler Green, Bennie Brazell, Early Doucet).
For this year's draft, Ohio State has a projected second round receiver (Brian Robiskie) and a projected sixth or seventh round receiver (Brian Hartline). LSU has a projected sixth or seventh round receiver (Demetrius Byrd). Both schools have continued to recruit extremely well at this position.
Just a few months ago the Dallas Morning News bestowed the title of WR U on Michigan State. Of course, Tennessee fans used to be fond of referring to their school as WR U as well.
I don't feel like researching what the other schools on the list have produced recently, but it might be worth checking out if you want to determine whether it is appropriate to dub LSU Wide Receiver U.

Louisiana has a high black population, that is why. No, I'm not being racist and yes it is a fact. Yes, black people tend to be more athletic, you all know it as well as I. Some guys probably wanted to jump around that but its a big reason why. Nothing wrong with it at all.
Most football coaches are racist and think the same way you do.
