Sigma Nu’s Eli Manning Named Super Bowl MVP
After leading the New York Giants to a fourth quarter 21-17 comeback victory over the New England Patriots, quarterback Eli Manning, a Sigma Nu at Mississippi, was chosen as Super Bowl Most Valuable Player for the second time. He completed 30 of 40 passes for 296 yards and a touchdown and was previously named MVP four years ago in Super Bowl XLII. Numerous alumni of NIC member fraternities have been named Super Bowl MVP, but Manning is just the second two-time winner, the other being Terry Bradshaw, a Tau Kappa Epsilon at Louisiana Tech, in the game's 13th and 14th years. On hand to see Eli's outstanding performance were father Archie Manning (Sigma Nu at Mississippi), longtime NFL quarterback who is chairman of the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame, mother Olivia Williams Manning (Delta Gamma at Mississippi) and older brother Cooper Manning (Kappa Alpha Order at Mississippi). Key Giants' key coaches are both members of Tau Kappa Epsilon: offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride (Southern Connecticut State) and defensive coordinator Perry Fewell (Lenoir-Rhyne).
