Why We Can't Stop Telling St. Peter's Cinderella Story At first blush, the Saint Peter's Peacocks are just a "dude with an ugly mustache and a gritty group of underdogs." Those are not our words — it's how the team described itself in a Tweet, thanking the nation for its support after its Elite Eight run. The Peacocks' jest and heightened self-awareness might be what make them so loveable: They don't take themselves too seriously, but man, do they work hard.
