Media hates us, we get no respect, keep the chip on our shoulder thread

I'm guessing this is a regional SI cover and there will be similar ones for all the teams listed on the cover?

So do some weeks they have a national cover and some weeks they have regional ones? I saw that Elijah Johnson was on the regional one (saw it posted, didn't see an actual magazine), but I think that was for last week.

The only times there are regional covers is when SI does college previews. This is national, dorks.

That was just for Lawrence and JOCO.

Was Michael Beasley ever on the cover of SI? Is this our first player on a national cover?

Beasley never made the cover.  This is our first national cover since Ro in 1981.

No, we got a nice story when we beat NU in 98, but not the cover.

media still hates us.

There was a college football preview issue in the early 90's without a picture on the cover, that had a blurb about four or five teams and we were one of them.

That was as good as it got.

In November 2007, Kansas Jayhawks wide receiver Kerry Meier appeared on the cover, which stated "Dream Season (So Far)" after the Jayhawks were 11-0. In their next game they lost to their archrivals, the Missouri Tigers, 36-28, ending their perfect season.

Yep. Some Syracuse player is on the cover now in the northeast

True, but Baylor is no 07 Mizzou. And "Dream Season" was accurate...not much basis in reality or playing quality football teams. "Best Team, Best Player" is accurate, too.

Will never forget Kansas Statement.

You could see my flag in the field rush picture.

Will never forget Kansas Statement.

IIRC, Layden also did the Futility U story, plus an earlier feature in 98 (Frank Murphy catch against ISU was the pic), and a piece on Phil Bennett in 99.

(it was Looney)

Douglas Looney did the Futility U story.

[SleepFighter]

Looney also did this piece in '92, because Wefald bitched at him.

[Skipper44]

I think the fact that the cover itself references the "SI Jinx" cancels it out

[Super PurpleCat]

Before Missouri was to play Kansas State last fall, Tiger coach Bob Stull, a little sick of all the hype surrounding the Wildcats, said, "We'll find out how much improvement they've made when we play them." Kansas State won 32-0.

WHAT NOW, BOB STULL?  WHAT NOW?

[MadCat]

I like how they show the flow chart on the front but don't have Notre Dame losing to Wake Forest as an option.

[chum1]

Stull liked to take jabs at KState.  He was butthurt about something.  He also went to KState.

That wasn't a jinx, that was inevitability.

The best team Kansas played before they lost to Missouri was Oklahoma State. OSU finished the season 7-6.
