Mar 25, 2022

During his time with the New York Giants and beyond, Eli Manning has always been a staple in the community in the state of New Jersey. Particularly during his post-playing career and since joining twitter, Manning has been active in sharing his sports takes even beyond football. - At this time of year, while the NFL gears up for April’s draft, most people are locked into the NCAA tournament, most notably known as March Madness. - Manning is no exception as he is also paying close attention. - This year, while many were excited for the local Rutgers University to possibly make a little noise going into the tournament, the “Cinderella story” has been Saint Peter’s University. - Saint Peter’s is a 15th seed from Jersey City, New Jersey that has the local fans excited going into the Sweet 16 matchup against Purdue, a No. 3 seed. - Manning has made it clear he is cheering on the local team. - - What? I have been cheering for Saint Peter’s for years. They are my local New Jersey basketball team. Go Peacocks!! pic.twitter.com/lHrGPgW9NL - — Eli Manning (@EliManning) March 24, 2022 - - - Saint Peter’s has been quite the story and if they were to advance any further, it would be all gravy from there. - Manning, along with a bunch of New Jersey residents, will be rooting hard on Friday night when Saint Peter’s takes on Purdue. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
