Well...they finally did it. They really screwed the pooch this time.
They put Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
Well...you know what that means....that's right....The dreaded SI jinx.

I wanted to see the picture...so I googled it...and stumbled across something interesting...

A list of all-time USC athletes to be on the cover of SI.
And among those is one that is very interesting....

Look at June 27, 1994...Does that date ring a bell?
Not exactly the right circumstances to brag about being on the cover now is it?

But hey...it's USC...the media darlings...they will take credit for any kind of media attention I guess????

It was just strange that they would include that in a list of former players that made the cover of SI.

Remember when Marcus Allen won the Heisman?
Remember that time when Matt Leinart was on the cover?
Remember when Orenthal almost chopped his wife's head off?...

Doesn't quite fit.

That's just not right. I think we should call former coverboys Mark McGwire (steroid abuser, cheater and liar), Frank Gifford (philanderer) and Keyshawn Johnson (hmmmm, over-rated wr) to complain to their alma mater about this inconsistency.
