MEYER’S SI COVER, IMPROVED
Urban Meyer wasn’t pleased with his SI cover, mostly because they used the equivalent of the “high school yearbook leather jacket photo” on him. This version, however, is much improved. (click for beeg)

Sean Glennon's Jersey says:
zzgator,
It’s just a joke. It’s not as if there is a real curse. Like wikipedia says:
“The most common explanation for the perceived effect is that athletes are generally featured on the cover at the pinnacle of their careers, so future performance is likely to be less impressive by comparison. This decline in performance would then be perceived as being related to, or even possibly caused by, the appearance on the magazine cover.”
So, the gators aren’t cursed. It’s just that Meyer’s future performance is likely to be less impressive by comparison. (See: Moreno, Knowshon, 2008).

JustTheFacts says:
This could turn flamey very quickly, since I’m focusing on a small bit of Glennon’s post, but, Knowshon was on the cover of ESPN The Magazine last year, not SI. Unless you count the one also featuring Stafford and Ellerbe. Knowshon and Stafford both had record-worthy years and improved upon their 2008 numbers.
My understanding was that the cover curse applied more to team performance rather than individual. In which case it’d be mostly accurate, except that Florida also had a cover last year…

And by their 2008 numbers, I meant 2007. I guess I jinxed myself with the name.

I think the proportion of the curse is directly related to the doucheiness of the pose/picture; but since this one is super cool, you’re probably ok….

Coop says:
@ 13
Come on, man. Nothing says, “class,” like Meyer’s member’s only jackets, his downright odd interest in leather clothing, and his choice of plastic timepieces that Nike makes for $2 and charges idiots $50 for. The sunglasses surely follow suit.
The guy can flat out coach, and I guess when you spend most of your time in Ohio or Michigan or wherever and move to Florida you fit right in regarding apparell, but when you are making over $4MM a year, just maybe think about picking up a Breitling or a Patek Phillipe or even a Rolex like the masses? Just a thought…

you really think on a SEC preview, regional cover that also had lane kitten, houston nutt and nick saban versions are going to invoke the curse?
That’s like saying this cover invoked a curse..
