[Orangeyes]

‘Cuse say Bring On the Madness.”

 

[Upstate]

That's ****ing awesome

 

[Orangeyes]

That's the 7th time SU has been on the front cover

Is that for the entire US or just regional?

Regional, it's one of four in the nation. I bet Cards fans are steaming.

Regional... 4 covers in total...
Indiana - Oladipo
Kansas - McLemore
Zags - Olynyk
Cuse - MCW

Ville was the only 1 seed that didn't get one...interesting.

Crap...hope I get the Syracuse one...but will probably get the Kansas or Indiana one down here...

On the positive side...if I get the Indiana one I can use it to shoot darts at or my son can use it as a target for his BB gun...

7 times. Ok, let's see.

1. Hawkins and Ewing (BET)
2. Devo and Hibbert (the rivalry preseason)
3. Owens (Preseason issue)
4. Final Four 2003 (split 4 ways)
5. MCW (2013 tourney preview)
6. Triche (2012-13 preseason issue)
7. Flynn (Sweet 16)

Any others?

8. Edit: Also Wes Johnson (2010 tourney preview)

Quote was from SI Insider

"This marks the 16th time Indiana and Kansas have been featured on an SI cover, the seventh time for Syracuse and fifth for Gonzaga."

If you note the headline says: Michael Carter-Williams and the 'Cuse say...Bring on the madness! Then underneath that in smaller printer it says: So why are we picking Louisville?

My guess is that is the reason Louisville didn't get a cover...

The only do a max of 4 for the tourney previews. I'm pretty they do more than that for pre-season stuff, so the Triche one might not count.

Or that the Hawkins one doesn't count as being "featured"

 

[cuseguy]

That's great...

Um, how could you forget this one?

Louisville didn't get a cover because Indiana did. Same media market, relatively speaking.

Have this issue sitting right in front of me on my desk.

 

[rstone7727]

Wow! MCW must be pretty happy with his college choice right about now. That will be pretty nice to hand down to the grand kids one day.

 

[HoustonCuse]

UConn, Pitts, and GTown fans will have this waiting in their mailboxes.

You know, as photography goes, it is very weak, especially for an SI cover for goodness sake. Look at the massive catch light on the girl to Mike's right. The reflections on the forehead and glasses are bush league in the extreme.

Nice recruiting poster.

That's how we used to get on the cover:

 

[OrangeXtreme]

UConn, Pitts, and GTown fans will have this waiting in their mailboxes.

The whole ACC will have this waiting in their mailboxes.

The average observer would never notice it. And most Syracuse fans could care less.
