Sigs Lead Saints to Super Bowl Success
Three members of Sigma Chi Fraternity helped lead the New Orleans Saints to a 31-17 victory over the favored Indianapolis Colts in the team's first-ever appearance in the Super Bowl. Quarterback Drew Brees, a Sig at Purdue University, was named Most Valuable Player after completing a record 32 passes in 39 attempts for 288 yards and two touchdowns. Saints head coach Sean Peyton, a member of Sigma Chi at Eastern Illinois University, sparked his club's comeback by calling for an onside kick at the start of the second half. Serving as the Saints deep snapper on a record three field goals over 40 yards was 15 year veteran Jason Kyle, a Sig from Arizona State University, who was in his first year with the Saints. Also savoring the New Orleans win were safety Darren Sharper, a member of Kappa Alpha Psi from William & Mary, and kick holder/quarterback Mark Brunell, a Lambda Chi Alpha from University of Washington. Serving as color commentator in the CBS-TV announcers booth was Phil Simms, a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon at Morehead State and a former Super Bowl MVP himself.
