Very cool. I hope the article that accompanies it is well written, well researched and not full of inaccuracies.

[HiHiYikas]

Agreed 100% - I think my favorite thing about the 9/10/2007 cover is that THIS was their 8/20/2007 Cover

http://i.timeinc.net/subs2/images/si/sistore/products/2007/0820MI_mid.jpg

I'd say that run came up a bit short...

[bisonguy]

Those two SI covers would look great framed side-by-side. xnodx

In Sports Illustrated? Now who's being naive? :D

[CoastalFan2005]

Very nice. xthumbsupx

Can you repost this? All I'm getting on this one (the other one shows up just fine) is a red X.

And guess who's next on the SI cover jinx list....

[RadMann]

Very cool cover!

You got that right!! xthumbsupx

[Peems]

Lenoir-Rhyne has posted this on their bulletin board!!!

[AlphaSigMD]

Wow, thats really oddly reminiscent of some of the SI covers I get when I play NCAA Football 2005 on the junior varsity mode.

Very nice though.

[IaaScribe]

Those were regional covers for the SI preview. I think they made six of them. I got the one with West Virginia's Steve Slaton on the cover.

[appfan2008]

I got the one with darren mcfadden on it

[appfan2008]

hey does anyone know if another fcs school has ever made the cover??????`

[Pards Rule]

Does this mean App State is next in line for the curse??

[brownbear]

I looked, and I couldn't even find an FCS team as an opponent on any SI cover.

[walliver]

Lenoir-Rhyne 34, Appalachian State 32














Correction, that should read Lenoir Rhyne 34 - ASU 132.



I'm hoping the jinx waits until the Mountain Men come to Gibbs Stadium.

Well I have to admit I am very interested in the 15th against NAU and then the week after against you guys.

I never put a lot of stock in the results of a I-A game win or lose ( but this one was impressive), same thing for D-II.

Looking forward to how the first to FCS games match up

[Zoo]

And at Ohio St, Penn St, Michigan St... xlolx xlolx xlolx

Don't forgot Wisconsin either! xlolx

I think that's done with now, or at least I'd hope it is. xlolx

[FCSFAN]

hahahahaha

[FCSFAN]

I tried to use it as a sig but I don't know.

[Marcus Garvey]

Does anybody remember Joe Dudek of Plymouth St. on th cover back in '85 or so?

Oh, how quickly we forget this one, because SWAC football has deteriorated in quality (no smack, just honest analysis):

[brownbear]

Oops, I missed that one. I was looking on SI's website and chose to narrow the search to College Football covers. I guess it didn't bring them all up.

[Go Lehigh TU owl]

Who can forget this one. Hopefully not our Lafayette friends.

GLTUO:

Definitely not...you beat me to it.

I actually still have my copy. xthumbsupx

[AppMan]

It is the first time any university or player from a school in North Carolina has graced the cover of SI for football.

[appfan2008]

duke basketball players have been on more than a dozen times

[appfan2008]

Does this mean App State is next in line for the curse??

i sure as hell hope not!!!!

[KiddBrewer]

im pretty sure they put UNC on there more than once when they won their national championship, same for duke. with that said, appalachian being on the cover has just as much or more importance to its university and those two have ever had.

[Bobcat in NC]

Wasn't Mario Williams on at least one cover in 2006?

[Pards Rule]

Who can forget this one. Hopefully not our Lafayette friends.

http://i.cnn.net/si/si_online/covers/images/1989/0904_large.jpg

Yep - remember it well...1989: Frank Baur had a deadbeat season cause of the aggravation of a bone spur on his throwing arm...Nowhere near as good as he was the previous year. How come LC didn't get a SI cover after upsetting Notre Dame in basketball in 1988?

[Kosty]

It is the first time any university or player from a school in North Carolina has graced the cover of SI for football.

Although Duke and UNC have been on the cover alot, I think AppMan was saying specifically for football.

[Pards Rule]

Does this mean App State is next in line for the curse??

Indeed they were!!

[DrG]

It was the dreaded delayed-reaction SI curse.

[BigApp]

I could swear that Ben Bennett was on the cover once at Duke, Spurrier too. Maybe Lawrence Taylor.

Very well could be wrong about that though.

[BigApp]

Wasn't Mario Williams on at least one cover in 2006?

no, Vince Young was the cover on the draft issue

[walliver]

It's not like the FBS schools in North Carolina have had great football teams or something. To most of them, football is something you do waiting for basketball season.

2 yahoos from NCSU on 10/25/1972!

[89Hen]

Funny this got bumped today... I just walked past a bench with some magazines sprawled out and the AppSt one was on top... I don't read SI so I hadn't actually seen it before... I'm saving it for posterity. xthumbsupx

who are they??

[SunCoastBlueHen]

who are they??

With those goofy looks, gotta be the kicker and the punter. :p

[Pards Rule]

From late 60s or early 70s it looks like!

[Ram Ball]

The article in the SI with App State on the cover has a tremendous article about U of Miami's new coach, Randy Shannon. While the school and it's athletes are fully deserving of the reputation they've earned in the past 2 decades, it's hard not to root for Shannon to be successful after reading the article.
