On Wikipedia there is a list of notable instances where the Sports Illustrated Cover Jinx is supposed to have come into play. Out of curiosity I just took a look, and there's a new entry:
"March 24, 2011: The BYU Cougars player Jimmer Fredette appeared on the cover after the Cougars beat Gonzaga to take them to their first Sweet 16 since 1981. In the next game, Jimmer only hit 11 of 29 shots in a loss to the Florida Gators."
Well, I suppose if you make the list it means you were on the cover of Sports Illustrated, so it's not a terrible list to be on, but it's still probably not a life goal most kids make.
Having closed the MI chapter of our lives, where we met, fell in love, and survived graduate school together, we are now on to being professors in ID. While we enjoy teaching, our lives revolve around each other and our kids: Lizzie & Kit.
