McDermott on SI cover

[Omaha1]

First time for a Bluejay to be on the cover I think.

Where''s his T-shirt?

It is a remake of a Larry Bird cover when he was with ISU. Larry didn't have a shirt so I guess Doug doesn't have one?

Nice, thanks for the larry bird reference TBJ. i was like..why are the girls hunched down whispering? are they about to....oh i see the reference.

Now on the Bird Cover is a shocking thing. Al McGuire speaks out. Who'd have thunk it? Gosh I miss him calling games.

I hope Doug got their digits after the shoot! Imagine being Doug on campus? You can literally point to a girl and say "You know who I am. Come back to my place" and it would work every time. If you can picture that, then imagine being a top college football QB at a powerhouse like Texas or Alabama! Random fact: Joe Namath estimates he slept with 400 women or so at Alabama.

There's your "payment" for playing guys! LOL

Isn't there something about a SI cover curse?

Larry Bird must not have gotten that memo.

I've heard of the SI curse but i think its just human nature to put a jinx/curse as the reason for something that went bad. Bird had a great college career, though he never won a title and an even stellar professional career. I hope Doug goes the same route.
