Last time I remember a LSU RB on the cover of SI so prominently was after we beat Florida in '97.
The next week we lost to Ole Miss.
I'm guessing Buga puts no stock whatsoever in jinxes.

Unfortunately it's not up to him but to the football gods. Sucks because I really liked watching him run this year.

any jinx is real if you believe in it.
Do you believe in it?

But that was in a time where LSU was practically a glorified Ole Miss

I wish they had put a still image of #28 of Auburn flying over his head in that tackle attempt.

Michael Ford after the Oregon game, Sept 2011.

I believe the governor of Texas should fire whatever staffer sent out that tweet yesterday and doomed my Astros.
I confess to being superstitious in sporting matters.
I haven't opened the liquor cabinet yet this season and now I'm worried I'll jinx the team if I resume my usual habits of a few fingers of whisky to deal with Miles' inevitable cardiac moments. I'm putting all my faith in Buga.

LSU was underrated and Florida was a bit overrated being the defending national champs and all that. Florida lost a second game two weeks later (to Georgia) so clearly there were cracks in the foundation. Florida would never regain the dominance they had achieved in 1995/96.
Ole Miss was an up/down team that year and clearly they got way up to beat LSU to same way LSU got up to beat Florida.

We were on SI after we beat Bama this year and then looked like dick against Vandy, got buttraped against Florida, lost our star safety and middle linebacker to injuries, and the Klan rally at the Lyceum ran out of Oreos. So, you tell me if it's real or not.

was the trap game of all trap games. LSU had just broken Florida's 25 game SEC winning streak, 19 straight SEC road winning streak, and their first win against Florida in 9 years. Then they play a scrappy Ole Miss team with Deuce McAllister and John Avery a week later at 11:30 AM on JP Sports.

Allow me to clarify about my usage of the phrase "so prominently"...
What I mean is they featured the running back with more than just a picture and short caption telling you "so and so, running back for LSU" when the real story was "LSU beat so and so or what a season LSU is having". I don't think any back since Faulk has been *hyped* as much and I would argue that Faulk's cover had much more to do with LSU upsetting #1 Florida than Kevin Faulk being hyped that much.
This cover is a pure hype piece on Fournette. Not that he isn't worthy of the hype. Quite the contrary.
Honey Badger had quite a bit of hype around him but I don't think SI gave him a cover feature until his college career went up in smoke.

Agreed.
That game was the definition of a trap game.
At his radio show that week, DiNardo warned everyone that LSU lost to Tennessee in 1959 in a similar fashion the week after Billy Cannon's infamous run.

Well, in that case, LSU hasn't had a player period featured so prominently outside Mathieu, and that wasn't to praise him, since Pete Maravich

I hope so
