12. The SI curse is REAL

and it has a magnified effect in the state of Oregon!

MEDIA
SI Cover Jinx Takes Its Toll

Thursday, October 16, 2003; Page D02

The Sports Illustrated cover jinx is alive and well. Since the magazine put Oregon on its cover on Sept. 22, following a 31-27 victory over Michigan, the Ducks have gone 0-3 and been outscored 114-30 in two Pacific-10 Conference games.

HAHA!

This was just the latest SI cover jinx to hit college football. On Nov. 22, 1993, the magazine had Notre Dame on its cover after it beat Florida State, and a week later the Irish lost at home to Boston College. On Aug. 13, 2001, Oregon State graced the cover and was hailed as the No. 1 team in college football. The Beavers went on to finish 5-6. © 2003 The Washington Post Company

BOO!

"I do try to make it a point to punish secondaries because most of them don't like to hit," he said. "We're known for our nastiness." S. Jackson
