Why us? Is this a twisted plot to jinx our season hatched by those evil coaches who resent our independence? :evil: http://www.sbnation.com/college-foo...dame-football-playoff-2015-sports-illustrated
I think those covers are regional, so in Ohio I'll bet Ohio State is on it and in Texas I'll bet I'll see TCU and in the SEC we'll see Alabama. Still it's a potential jinx!!!
Ha ..turns out I"m right. Ohio State, ND, TCU, and Miss State (interesting choice). Those are the 4 Covers. I'm shocked they don't at least have a West Coast Cover with Oregon or USC on it. http://www.si.com/college-football/2015/08/05/college-football-preview-sports-illustrated-covers
8) Maybe the leprechaun will break his leg when he's high on dope running away from cheating on his exam?
ND <t>The SI jinx doesn't seems to be effective anymore. Remember they put Manti on the cover in 2012 and we went 12-0.</t>
Certainly he could have a great year, maybe even good enough to make the playoffs. I'm not sure that even if he goes 8-5 again that he'll be on the hot seat, oh he'll be on the hot seat with the fans, but I doubt if the Ath.Dir would call him in and fire him. Truthfully more than a few fans feel he's a good enough coach to always win 8 or 9 games but not good enough to take the program to where Saban and Meyer have taken OSU and Alabama. That's the rub with the fans. FWIW no ND coach has lasted more than 11 years except for Rockne and only Leahy, Ara and Lou lasted 11 years. So even if he is very successful this year and the ensuing years , 5 more years is his likely shelf life.
