Stewie on the cover of SI....

With a cameo from Lobo!

 

[UConnChapette]

Oh no! NOT THE SI CURSE! We.are.doomed.

 

[sarals24]

HA! I just said the same thing to my husband. He claims it's nonsense, but I'm still worried. She looks great though!!

As far as mojo goes...it only gets worse. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/-c...tournament-regional-breakdowns-march-madness/

But you know what they say if you aren't the LEAD DOG. I'd rather lead than sniff some other dog's sphincter. 'Spose that is what makes Muffet so cranky?

SI doesn't see Tenn getting out of the regional...they, along with some others, see Louisville going back to final 4.

You know what's strange?...Given the high presence of African Americans in bball, take another look at the faces.

Didn't we have both Okafor AND Taurasi on the 2004 Pre-Season SI cover? That turned out pretty good...

I always suspected you to be DiMauro in drag.

Well, it is Connecticut after all where more than three-quarters of the population is Caucasian.

Even if we grant that the cover is about Ct. persons (which I would not understand in SI) the whites have far more than a 75% showing.

Anybody know if this is just a regional issue? Sometimes they tailor covers for different sections of the country and/or fan bases.

Something else for the leprechauns to get their knickers in a twist about.

Maybe you need to ask the students why more of them in the picture are Caucasian? This picture represents students that were either available or requested to show up for a photo shoot. The cross section does not represent anything else.

And, if were to even go down the Mike D route, where's the problem/ where's the bias if Caucasians are showing up to watch a predominantly African American Team play? It's an Anti-Mike picture if anything.

Putting aside the stupid comments about face colors:

That SI cover rocks girl!

I did assume the folks were bball involved. OK, I get it.

I was just about to dig that out! Yes, a beautiful cover indeed!

So what does a blue guy count as?

 

[UcMiami]

So what does a blue guy count as?

A Druid - thought they as a race were I believe white.

 

[DobbsRover2]

So what does a blue guy count as?

Progeny of the BlueandWhiteKid, but only the blue genes (and maybe blue jeans) were handed down.

It looks like a version devoted to CT actually. And whether that's an issue for the fans in the region is anyone's guess.

The aliens in "Avatar". That movie sucked, but that's another OT subject.

He doesn't look druish.

Wish I was versed in Photoshop. Could really have some fun with this one!

Yes it is a regional cover but UConn is the ONLY women's team featured. The other teams featured are MSU, Arizona, Florida, Syracuse, and WSU men's teams.
