Peyton Manning hanging out on the Tennessee campus in 1997. Check out those boots.

labradorrescuer · 2012-10-30T16:35:12+00:00

TIL Peyton has always looked like a middle aged man

TooHighPi · 2012-10-30T16:13:10+00:00

A Sheriff's gotta have rockin' boots.

HobbsMadness · 2012-10-30T16:29:04+00:00

His forehead seems so reasonably sized in this pic. This suggests that it gets bigger as he acquires more knowledge of opposing defensive schemes.

ryangravener · 2012-10-30T17:04:18+00:00

He is actually trying to figure out which papa johns restaurants to buy.

48632966054673 · 2012-10-30T16:40:47+00:00

It's extremely surreal to know that this picture was taken about 35 feet from where I am sitting right now in Circle Park at UT.

wesdub · 2012-10-30T16:28:30+00:00

i bet he didn't even take em off when he was plowing undergrads.

sanctii · 2012-10-30T17:08:09+00:00

Those look like ostrich skin boots. Nice.

gentleman_brown · 2012-10-30T17:44:25+00:00

Given his legendary preparation for gameday, he's probably boning up on the defense for a game against the Texans to be played in 2004.

dwhitey724 · 2012-10-30T16:37:58+00:00

Pulling. Them. Off.

FlexibleBandage · 2012-10-30T16:06:49+00:00

10/10 would bang.

mocktopus · 2012-10-30T16:06:00+00:00

LL Bean pack!

oOoleveloOo · 2012-10-30T16:08:02+00:00

reading books like he reads defenses.

majellan · 2012-10-30T17:29:19+00:00

Broncos win the Superbowl and Peyton wins MVP. I can already see the movie starring Matthew McConaughey.

ArianFosterThePeople · 2012-10-30T17:03:33+00:00

I'd fuck Peyton

DrPrick · 2012-10-30T17:42:44+00:00

You'll never see Tyler bray reading a book

Brian_is_trilla · 2012-10-30T19:01:25+00:00

He wouldn't be caught dead in UGGS

goelectric · 2012-10-30T20:44:54+00:00

I swear I once read an article that talked about how in college he had to have his mom or his girlfriend pick out his clothes otherwise nothing would match. He basically is an autistic football savant.

EDIT: I found it!! http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1017735/index.htm

Your move, OP!

meantforamazing · 2012-10-30T18:08:25+00:00

This needs to go on /r/ladyboners.

Griff_Steeltower · 2012-10-30T16:15:40+00:00

Nothing says freedom like a pair of cowboy boots.

tumorman · 2012-10-30T17:39:49+00:00

Good god he's incredible. Sucks when your favorite player craps on your favorite team twice a year. At least I don't have to worry about that anymore.

fbrooks · 2012-10-30T15:54:02+00:00

He was clean

leoselassie · 2012-10-30T16:12:14+00:00

Nice Broncos Plaid going for Peyton here.

ShineOnAndOn · 2012-10-30T18:47:56+00:00

LL Bean backpacks are both sturdy and reliable...10/10 would tote again

throwloop · 2012-10-30T16:13:30+00:00

Dope as fuck.

Iluvtinykox · 2012-10-30T16:13:13+00:00

Looks like a pair of Ostrich Tony Lamas.

kewlperfume · 2012-10-30T17:16:40+00:00

Like a boss.

Dude must have had chicks all over him in college.

PirateKefka · 2012-10-30T21:10:06+00:00

Tutor: "Now you should be able to get 100 on the next test." Peyton: "Got it, I'll get a 200"

ern19 · 2012-10-30T17:43:15+00:00

I think I just turned gay a little.

dog_eat_dog · 2012-10-30T19:14:56+00:00

mama says they was my magic shoes

Dolewhip · 2012-10-30T17:07:01+00:00

Only serious students have that double-big-pouch backpack.

PinneappleSoup · 2012-10-30T21:26:10+00:00

Is he willingly looking down at that book, or is the weight of his forehead too much for his neck to bear? We may never know...

inthesouth · 2012-10-30T19:16:53+00:00

I remember seeing him at one of my frats flag football games in 97. The guy looked like a stiff breeze would blow him over. It was honestly difficult for me to reconcile this guy as the same one that would take multiple hits every game day from 250+ pound guys. Everyone that I know that has meet him say he is a real class act though. I didn't approach him as I thought that would just be awkward. I imagine the convo would have gone something like this:

Me: hey you're Peyton Manning! Him: Yep Me: you're pretty awesome Him: thaaanks (Walks Away)

ooh_lawd · 2012-10-30T22:51:50+00:00

As a former Tennessee student, I think the best part of this picture is that he's sitting right next to a street now known as "Peyton Manning Pass"

chadpatrick · 2012-10-30T17:17:36+00:00

Things are going great, and they're only getting better

I'm doing all right, getting good grades

The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades

I gotta wear shades

xJFK · 2012-10-30T17:31:11+00:00

Dat Tennessee Swag attack.

busche916 · 2012-10-30T18:57:17+00:00

That's some MVP style, right there.

DanPavone · 2012-10-30T19:45:02+00:00

He looks like Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys

allocater · 2012-10-30T20:34:57+00:00

At first I thought: How nice, he gets to have sunlight in detention. Then I read 1997 and thought, oh, that must have been before his detention. Then I read the name again and realized, oh that is not the Manning from Wikileaks.

MisterxRager · 2012-10-30T22:06:06+00:00

IAmA request, someone who partied with payton manning in college

BadLemur · 2012-10-30T16:22:54+00:00

I have boots a lot like those. They're awesome.

POINTSADDICT · 2012-10-30T17:51:44+00:00

That can't have been good for his neck.

loginorreg · 2012-10-30T18:13:49+00:00

People realize this is a photo shoot, right?

RobotKitten · 2012-10-30T18:13:46+00:00

"Wtf, this isn't a football. Can I even throw this?"

FuckaYouWhale · 2012-10-30T20:06:39+00:00

TFM.

bouncingmatthew · 2012-10-30T20:43:07+00:00

Still looks like a horse.

AmiriteClyde · 2012-10-30T21:42:29+00:00

Here are my boots. Peyton knows what's up...

GreeneRockets · 2012-10-30T23:18:00+00:00

Even in this picture, he looks more badass than I ever could dream to be. I love me some Peyton.

comradenu · 2012-10-30T16:23:36+00:00

BOW BOW... chicka chickaaaaaa

Lestalia · 2012-10-30T17:35:21+00:00

Dat L.L. Bean backpack...

rorydaniel · 2012-10-30T16:30:09+00:00

Put a Pabst in his hand and he looks like a hipster.

illegal_deagle · 2012-10-30T20:41:41+00:00

Shit, this would be a perfectly good /r/malefashionadvice crosspost.

DecentPizza · 2012-10-30T16:52:29+00:00

This could have been taken in the 60s.

THEsolid85 · 2012-10-30T17:21:36+00:00

"The fuck'd you just say??"

macababy · 2012-10-30T17:22:58+00:00

I think you have to call the editor to audible a book.

jsellout · 2012-10-30T17:23:59+00:00

I think he looks cool as fuck.

AReadingRainbow · 2012-10-30T17:26:17+00:00

he has a book!

redmustang04 · 2012-10-30T17:48:17+00:00

Peyton still dresses like that in the picture.

PizzaDeliveryMan · 2012-10-30T17:57:24+00:00

Dayyuuuuumm.

Tyler1986 · 2012-10-30T18:24:27+00:00

Lookin' good, I must say.

MilesColtrane · 2012-10-30T18:31:27+00:00

fucking awesome boots

Naynay31 · 2012-10-30T19:28:16+00:00

He looks like scott summers aka cyclops.

Ithinkthere4Ibooze · 2012-10-30T19:34:57+00:00

Can't wait till he's the coach of the University of Tennessee.

migbike · 2012-10-30T19:49:54+00:00

Where is his other leg?

duxup · 2012-10-30T19:52:21+00:00

Humm, crappy pizza seems like a good investment...

delirium_triggens · 2012-10-30T19:57:20+00:00

mcconaughey? is that you?

MobiGuidedotME · 2012-10-30T20:02:34+00:00

I bet they cost and arm and a leg. Was probably getting 20 large a week from Alumni handouts at that point.

luvs2scrooge · 2012-10-30T20:06:08+00:00

Killer boots man!
