Until August, when the Sports Illustrated college football preview featured Zac Robinson and Andrew Lewis on the cover, Oklahoma State program had never been represented on an SI cover.

It's happening again.

Cowboy wide receiver Dez Bryant, who scored two touchdowns in the 24-10, season-opening victory over Georgia, is on this week's Sports Illustrated cover. The headline reads, "Cowboy Up: Oklahoma State Struts as the Rival Sooners Swoon."

The magazine will be available for purchase on Wednesday.

And with headline about an UO fail, it makes it one for the ages as a collector's item.

Is Dez flying in that picture?? :D

[pistolpete2002]

Does it look like to anyone else that there is a number one on the ground in his shadow.

[osupride97]

I can see the #1. That's a look into OSU's very near future!!!!!!

[PokesFanatic]

Damn, what a beautiful sight!

I love it. Perrish Cox is not only making a play, but also he's got his gun up.

[pistolpete2002]

Yeah, and he's a good 10 to 12 inches higher than AJ Green!!! That was an awesome play!!!!

[osupride97]

Nice !!!!!!!!!!

Cant wait to add this to my collection of 2009 SI Oklahoma State covers!

[FalseGod]

Damn, this is very worrisome. They're just trying to jinx us.

Oklahoma, for one weekend, at least, wasn't the Sooner State.


Get used to it!

[Poohness]

Get used to it!

Yeah, I had a FB friend post on Saturday night "that the ENTIRE state of Oklahoma was in a coma now after the first game loss". I had to restrain from replying "well, not the ENTIRE state, one team did win their game, you know".

[okiedado]

Hey, this is what I posted to my FB -
"There is much wailing and gnashing of teeth in the sooner nation tonight my Oklahoma State Cowboy friends...the sooner magic is fading, they will no longer own football in the state of Oklahoma! Go Cowboys!"

[osutuba]

One of my HS classmates who is an OU fan has already said we're being subjected to the SI curse LOL

[smoothW]

Anyone made it to a newstand yet to pick one up? I am going to try and time my lunch so I can get over to Barns and Noble to get one. I hope they have them in stock.

[osutuba]

I'll likely go get one today after I get off work. There's a Books*A*Million at the mall not far from my apt.
