Sports Illustrated, EA Sports, and ESPN Magazine all have a certain stigma attached to them. If you are unfortunate enough to be put on the cover, you normally have a difficult time living up to the standards that are set for you. That's right, EA Sports different football games choose one athlete per year to be on the cover of their NFL and NCAA video games. Frequently those players chosen have a disastrous year, or at least their team does. Sometimes a team can escape unscathed.
A number 23 ranked team recently defeated Clemson who was ranked 9. The next week they found themselves on the cover of Sports Illustrated. As an Alabama fan, I can not help but to be excited about the results of the Clemson game. However, we almost became victims of the curse the next week against Tulane. I guess the moral of the story would be..."be optimistic, but cautiously so!"
