Grant knows...you do, too.

The info I got was from the ESPN press release. It specifically said what the cover was and had a blurb that Omar was going to be featured in a story inside. We won't know until it hits the stands. I don't think they do regional covers though... in any event, it's still fantastic pub!!!

Michigan!? HAHA!

They'll have 2-3 losses going into the bowl season this year. Tell them to get a defense, and then they can talk Rose Bowl.

Ick -- our opponents would say the same thing about us.

The mag is out and the story is on pg. 92. talks about how he got overlooked by schools and it talks a lot about growing up in Florida with his mother. Good publicity.

I was thinking the same thing.....that is an awesome picture!!! I love the way you can only see his helmet and the top of his shoulder pads, and the water tower with Bowling Green on it, with the rest of the photo just the field. That was a cool idea for a photo if you ask me. It kind of had a "Field of Dreams" flavor to it. I also like the other pictures of him on the other pages, but that full page image is awesome.

I have looked at four different places in the past two days and no one has the Aug. 15 issue out yet here in Tucson.

Hopefully I can find one at the UofA bookstore tomorrow when I go to work...
