While Ann Arbor continues to bask in the afterglow of the football team's Rose Bowl-clinching victory, the entire nation is about to get its own dose of maize and blue. Sports Illustrated will honor the Wolverines with a cover story in its Dec. 1 issue. The photo, of safety Marcus Ray upending Ohio State loudmouth David Boston, is accompanied by the headline, "Take That!"
The periodical is also feared for its ability to feed the superstitious fire with its dreaded cover jinx. Fortunate for Michigan fans, the Big Ten champions don't play again until the Rose Bowl - at which time the jinx will be on that week's cover subject.
