Couldn’t they find a grizzled picture of Brett Favre or something instead…I mean look at him, he just loves to play!
Well, there goes the season.
Here I was, so worried that the national media would paint my fair Oxford in a bad light while covering the Presidential debate that I completely underestimated those evil bastards at SI from swooping in at the last minute to strike the fear of Nick SabanGod in me. I was so concerned that Wolf Blitzer would wander off into the wooded depths of Yoknapatawpha County to find some single toothed slack jawed yokel with questionable remedial reading skills to comment on the prospects of a black president, that I lost track of other sinister media types that may be out to get Ole Miss. And so here it is, we’ll be on the SI cover this week in all of its curse rendering glory.
I don’t dare test the sports gods by listing the litany of horrors that could befall the Rebels due to this. The gods have long taken pleasure in Rebel torment therefore I don’t want to give them any ideas. Might I suggest, however, that the team cancel practice for the rest of the week, stay indoors at all costs, but if they must go out, maybe find one of those Popemobiles and line it with feathered pillows and lots and lots of foam padding, just to be safe.
We are Ole Miss…and we are so screwed.

After the curse of coach O. this is nothing. it’s not like we’re on the cover of Madden or something.

In comparison to last year, there is nothing in the world that can screw us this year. We’ve already won just as many games (3!) AND we even have an SEC win!!
I do predict we’ll lose this weekend, though. A homecoming game against a pissed off Steve Spurrior??? If we get out of that with a win, they should put us on SI next week, too!

Steve Spurrier no longer gets pissed, Jessica. Usually, he gets pissed on. Depends.
