This morning, on the final day of the Louisiana Sports Writers Association Convention in Kenner, we traveled to Thibodaux to observe the massive Manning Passing Academy, a four-day camp for prep quarterbacks and receivers hosted at Nicholls State.
We were treated to a press conference involving all three Manning QBs - dad Archie and sons and Super Bowl MVPs Peyton and Eli. They were as nice and funny and insightful and frank as you would expect. Interestingly, they all were in awe of Bret Farve's NFL record for consecutive games played and said in their eyes it's the greatest record in pro sports.
On the camp staff, which serves nearly 1,000 campers from 47 states during the four-day academy, were two Demons:
1993-95 All-Southland Conference outfielder, 1993 and 1995 Academic All-American and 1995 SLC Player of the Year Terry Joseph, who after a long minor league baseball career is now a college football coach at Louisiana Tech;
And current Demon running backs coach Matt Kubik, no doubt keeping his eyes open on prospects for 2009 recruiting and beyond.
