  • Sports Illustrated article to come??????

    Just got this off the DM register:

    Sports Illustrated takes notice of UNI
    by Andrew Logue
    January 12, 2010
    It felt a little like the Sports Illustrated jinx might hit the UNI men’s basketball team early.

    The magazine sent a photographer to Tuesday’s game against Bradley and the Panthers squeaked by 52-50.

    The SI folks have not told UNI what, when or where their Panther coverage will appear, but it seems like they might be doing something on 7-foot senior Jordan Eglseder.

    It shows how coach Ben Jacobson’s team is starting to gain some national recognition.

    They were No. 27 in the Associated Press poll, and are being listed as a possible single-digit seed in some NCAA Tournament projections.

    Don’t expect this to bring a smile to Jacobson’s face….when asked about UNI’s 14-game winning streak, the coach said, “I don’t talk about it.”

    This would be some good news for UNI on a national level. Hope we keep winning so they will want to run a story!

    I agree with Jacobson's philosophy on the 14 game win streak, it's cool for the fans, a cool milestone for the players to reflect on after the season and for years to come, but it's a distraction from their ultimate goal during the season.

      I thought the "SI Jinx" was only invoked by appearing on the cover

          Smallest sample size ever...

          It had nothing to do with the fact that that team DIED down the stretch because they only went 7 deep...

                I think it is good enough, you get ranked more often prob. than you are on the cover of SI...just saying.

                  Sports Illustrated at UNI

                  "Colin McDonough, sports information director at Northern Iowa, said the photographer mentioned he needed images of center Jordan Eglseder.

                  McDonough also said reporter Albert Chen was scheduled to be on campus today and indicated a story would be published in the upcoming issue."

                    Did Drake get any exposure in SI 2 years ago? I was wondering how long it has been since the Valley got any exposure from them.

                          Didn't we have some sort of feature in SI a few years ago with our tournament teams? I seem to remember a small feature with pics of our Dome setup for basketball...

                            I would think most sports teams have their kids take morning classes so that they team can have the afternoon for video, training, and practice.
