While one might think What Day Will LSU Let Lane Kiffin Back On Social Media is the most popular summer game among Ole Miss fans, it’s doesn’t crack the top 10, primarily because LOL and CHILD.
Kiffin’s (alleged) social media ban is also the first time LSU athletic director Verge Ausberry attempted to correct behavior within the athletic department, unlike the multiple times he chose to not report sexual abuse and physical violence complaints involving male Tiger athletes while in an associate position. But don’t worry, he was suspended for 30 days, forced to take training courses, and eventually promoted to athletic director, so he’s learned his lesson.
But enough about children and the deadbeats in charge of them, we’re here to be entertained with games to fill the void left by the World Cup winding down. Two weeks ago, we played a stirring version of Let’s Remember Some Guys (1776 edition), and today we’re going to play a popular game among some Ole Miss fans, particularly the message board crowd.
That’s right, it’s time for But What Do The Mannings Think?. Just like Let’s Remember Some Guys, this game is simple.
To play, you discuss a topic and then become concerned over what the Mannings might think about it. This could mean the entire family or just two or more family members.
While the Mannings’ opinions have no bearing on almost every situation, some people, deep within their bones, HAVE TO KNOW what the Mannings think. You may be wondering, how is this a game because it feels more like a mental illness. To that I say, can’t argue with you!
