If you can't beat 'em.....


JINX 'EM!!!!
Thank you thank you Sports Illustrated.
Whoever took this photo should be shot.
I mean, what self-respecting, pride-laden (maybe in a gay way) football player would put their helmet on the ground and sit on it???
Show some respect Buckeye.
Or maybe like the No. 2 Ohio State caption says, he actually deposited the helmet there himself????
Huuuh.

they shot 5 covers for regional coverage - all in same pose

i guess they jinxed all 5

that of course means that if you could get them to shoot 40 covers, they'd all be jinxed and you'd be sitting pretty to win the title!

Ahhhhhh. Man, that was close. sru, you should be a Negotiator for a SWAT team. I was out on the ledge. You got me back in the building. I started breathing again once I saw USC in the same pose. All is well.

A little Beano and Beano Cook goes away.

Stream of consciousness moment: What eatery would hire a Beano cook and why? Hmmm.

Of course they shot multiple covers silly sru. But just like SI sells each one regionally to meet the needs of their readership, I chose only to show the Buckeye laying a silver egg.

"You cursed brat!, look what you've done!, I'm melting!" "What a world! "Who would've thought a good little sports magazine like you could destroy my beautiful BCS championship!"

Man, this sucks! Another year down the tubes.

Is everyone forgetting that SI jinxed michigan last year with a shot of Mike Hart on the cover of the college preview? Look what happened our first game.
