Go nuts, monkeys.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

no OU in the top 10? BLASPHEMY!

[TMcGee86]

No DL and total question mark at LB and SI thinks that's a defense to win it all?

Makes sense to me. :rolleyes:

[sooner518]

ugliest damn cover ive ever seen. but i am definitely ready for the SI Cover Jinx. theyre totally screwed

[rawlingsHOH]

How many different covers does SI have?

[Widescreen]

I am a little surprised OU's not in their top 10. Oh well.

[Bourbon St Sooner]

Are those guys liftin' weights? It doesn't look like it.

[salth2o]

The look like they just saw da' police.

[Mad Dog Madsen]

ugliest damn cover ive ever seen.

THIS.

[sooneron]

SI: "they have the defense to win it all, but we're not going out on a limb with our prediction for number 1" :rolleyes:

[Mississippi Sooner]

Cool! Looks like at least four losses and a couple of season ending injuries for the whorns. Thanks SI! :texan:

[badger]

I see your Texas cover and raise you a Boise State cover:
http://media.idahostatesman.com/smedia/2010/08/09/23/0810_Sports_sicover.standalone.prod_affiliate.36.J PG

I don't know who the other covers are, but if they continue with the anti-OU theme, might as well go with Notre Dame and Miami :mad:

[Mississippi Sooner]

I see a trend here. Do all the teams have the defense to win it all?

[tator]

Times are tough all over, they can't even afford to change the cover story

[NormanPride]

Number 98 looks like he needs to poop.

[badger]

In case any of you are curious, poopin' #98 does not appear to be the d00she that got duck-punched last season. That was #94.

http://www.leeslosers.com/images/Blount_Punch.gif

Unless he changed numbers out of embarrassment :D

[47straight]

Nebaska at #9???

Wow.

[yukonsooner]

Ask OSU how that cover worked for them last year. Thank you SI jinx!!!

[Sooner in Tampa]

Well...ya know how well SI does at picking ANYTHING right :P

[badger]

Ask OSU how that cover worked for them last year. Thank you SI jinx!!!

It didn't work out for the others very well, either. Jevan Snead went from first round pick to undrafted, Masoli went from Oregon's Rose Bowl QB to kicked off the team... to Ole Miss, heh, and Penn State... a nationally-televised white out against Iowa turned awful. It wasn't very fun to watch, either. Big Ten ball can be so boring a low scoring :P

[Mississippi Sooner]

I wonder, after the fiasco with the Springdale Mafia and Mitch Mustain's mom, if Houston Nutt has decided he'll just go with other teams' castoffs for quarterbacks now?

I think Mustain's mom would make a good SI cover

Go nuts, monkeys.

The only one that looks even slightly intimidating is #81.

Hes gonna get f**ked

What?

[badger]

OK, so according to an Austin blog, they're featuring their top four teams in their rankings for once, which are Bammer, tOSU, Bois Estate and whorn.

They have been weird a few years in who they choose, but they conveniently hit a team for each region in their top four... coincidence? pbbbbth.

I have not seen the tOSU or Bammer covers yet... they probably suck :D

Let me guess:

Bama has the defense to win it all

Buckeyes have the defense to win it all

There, you've seen the covers.

[Sirus]

Yeah I agree. Tats don't make you look tough. He is the only one not sporting any.

[ouduckhunter]

ugliest damn cover ive ever seen. but i am definitely ready for the SI Cover Jinx. theyre totally screwed

Totally agree, that is one butt ugly cover!!

[OKLA21FAN]

yep

[Mississippi Sooner]

Some people in New York make very good money to come up with those distinctive and unique covers that catch the essence of each individual team.

[delhalew]

Yo Mama! Has the Defense to win it all!

[badger]

The Bammer one looks incredibly 'shopped.
http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/sports_college/files/2010/08/alabamasicover.jpg
I know they all are to some degree, but they could have just put in some EA sports pixels in place of those guys

But do the Sleestack have the defense to win it all? :pop:

[cvsooner]

But do the Sleestack have the defense to win it all? :pop:

No. And especially in the movie version. Man, was that awful.

[Eielson]

The Rolling Tide HAS the defense to win it all. The other teams HAVE the defense to win it all. Incredibly creative.

[badger]

I did not notice that, but if they let that go, it would have been a fun Fark Board entry :D

Winna!

see how creative SI is!!! look at the osu guy in the middle - he's profiled with his teammate. boise and tejas have the guy in the middle "fronting" the camera as if to say, "Look at me!!!! I'm queer as a $3 bill!!!!!"

no offense to journalism majors (TopDawg;) ), but that's just sad. UN-happy in my pants, sad:( show a HINT of creativity, SI.







:D


OK, an edit. SERIOUSLY, how long could this have taken to set up?????? Just pathetic. Did the summer intern propose this????

[Leroy Lizard]

The similarities between the covers were so strong that I thought they were farked. And I mean that seriously.

[DenverSooner751]

Are those guys liftin' weights? It doesn't look like it.

I don't know....I heard they may have been running sprints.

I wonder, you guys think dem gaytors have done their "extremely akurit laser gun timing" of all of their sub 4 second guys and published it yet? LOL.


On another note, these magazine covers are weaker than circus lemonade.

[Leroy Lizard]

Couldn't they just change the word "defense" to "offense" on some of them?

[birddog]

but do all these teams have THE SWAGGER to win it all? :rolleyes:

[Shakadoodoo]

Looks like they are all working on their wrestling stance.

[Eielson]

what?

Why is Sam Acho going to get ****ed?

[oudavid1]

Why is Sam Acho going to get ****ed?

oh geez, im thinking of Goodwin, so i meant Goodwin is gonna get ****ed because i dont like him. I have no real evidence of what i said could actually happen.

[soonerborn30]

So does DeMarco being on the cover of the SI Big 12 preview mean we're screwed too?

[oudavid1]

So does DeMarco being on the cover of the SI Big 12 preview mean we're screwed too?

Wait, are you talkin to me?

if so, no. I just dont like texas (so i want all of them to get ****ed by our D)

But i have no evidence other than number 44 and 56 that this is a certain conclusion in October.

[soonerborn30]

No, just about the SI cover jinx in general. I instantly thought "crap, now Demarco will NEVER get through the season unscathed"

[OSUAggie]

Almost as bad as the anal ****ing one last year.

[sooner518]

Almost as bad as the anal ****ing one last year.

i was about to say, this is just as uncreative as Zach giving it to his center last year, and the 3 other teams they did the exact same thing for.....

[badger]

You're not being offensive to journalism majors...SI is.

I realized after about 2 months in the sports journalism world that it was not a place I wanted to spend the rest of my life.

[TheHumanAlphabet]

I think Mustain's mom would make a good SI cover
http://espn-ak.starwave.com/photo/2006/1214/ncf_a_campbell_195.jpg

Damn, she's ugly! If some one says they would hit it, Like ole Presidential Presser Gibbs says, you must be on drugs...

[goingoneight]

Looks like they are all working on their wrestling stance.

If that's what it takes...
OSU ... HAS TEH WRASSLERS TO WIN IT ALL!
