Here's an article done by SI themselves a few years ago about their cover "jinx".

SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.

A generational thing, I guess - AppGuy04 relates to Madden of the electronic media and I relate to SI of the print media.

Re: Dexter Jackson graces SI cover
Fear the SI jinx. History is rife with next-game or whole-season collapses following a glam-shot on SI. Any number of Duke basketball covers usually signalled a downfall. The ones AFTER they won are the collectibles. Not to mention a lot of the Duke ones were just plain stupid pictures.

I think the big lunk on that show was a Montana State graduate (and may have even played football)....
