Well, I'm assuming this is the 1st and most likely only time UNI will be on the cover of SI. So good for them!

I'm really looking forward to that "Confessions of a Sportswriter" story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That, and to find out why Michael Jordan is happy again.
SI should offer the option for schools to pay to NOT have their picture on the cover. It would be a good racket for SI: "We'll make you a deal you can't refuse: we'll put Ali's picture on the cover, or you can pay us a small fee."

Sports Illustrated reported on their own jinx in 2002.
"In investigating virtually all of SI's 2,456 covers, we found 913 "jinxes" -- a demonstrable misfortune or decline in performance following a cover appearance roughly 37.2 percent of the time."

37.2% is terrible odds! Holy crap.

Looks like the Anti-jinx to me. Lucas is GONE for MSU.
Besides...I don't think a team with a player who takes the ballsiest shot in the long history of the NCAA tournament is gonna succumb to a jinx. Destiny was stared in the eye, and destiny blinked.

Speaking of MJ, he's been on the cover of SI more than anyone else, so much for the so-called jinx.

Who else would you blame...Michigan State??? Pssh...get real! If the S.I. Jinx was a baseball player, it would be batting .372, making "A-Rod" money and heading for a Hall of Fame induction!
