Ole Miss changes Manning Way speed limit

Ole Miss has a street called Manning Way on their campus that is dedicated to Archie Manning. The speed limit is/was 18 mph, Archie’s number at Ole Miss, to reflect that.

But there’s another Manning that has taken the spotlight away from his dad. Eli won his second Super Bowl this past season, and Ole Miss recognizes that he is now their most important former player (2000-2003) and has decided to change the speed limit on Manning way from 18 to 10 to honor him. Go here, TopBet sports betting, to bet on Ole Miss and Eli Manning and the Giants.

It’s actually a pretty cool tradition.

Congrats to Eli Manning and good luck to Ole Miss, who will begin the Hugh Freeze era today at 1pm.

  1. [...] Manning Way is a street in Oxford, Mississippi that was named after the Ole Miss Rebel quarterback Archie Manning. The speed limit used in to be 18 mph in honor of Archie’s number.

I doubt Ole Miss fans will feel too bad about going 8 mph slower than usual. HT CFBSection JUMP! [...]
