  • Kings of Kansas SI cover?

    Did I hear that right?

  • #2
    I think the main cover is the Royals and there is a small picture of FVV on there.

      Royal posted it in another thread. It is just a quarter-sized photo/blurb on the corner of the cover. Kind of disappointing.

      EDIT: Beat to the punch.

        We're complaining about only getting a 1/4 page SI cover?
        The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.
        We like to cut down nets and get sized for championship rings.

          It's not 1/4...more like 1/20th. Here is a link to the cover:

              The best part is my broth in law who is a royals fan and was so giddy to hear they are on the SI cover. He is also a big Jayhawk fan. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

                I will take the phrase "Wichita State Kings of Kansas" on the front cover of SI no matter what the size is! It will not be too small to drive KU fans nuts.

                  I wonder how much $$$$$ it cost ku to "scale-down" that cover???? I'm sure the original was quite a bit larger. SI just got themselves a nice fat check from larryville donors. Good for SI.

                    Every other team from March Madness had the same amount of space on the cover.

                      Yeah all the other regional covers had Baseball on them with a little circle of a basketball player. I think it's still awesome, we got on one of them yet again.

                          So you're telling me in order to not make it so obvious.....that (ku ) had to spend even more money for SI to agree to do that for ALL the Regional SI Covers ??? ;)

                              There was sooo much missed opportunity for the headline writers over the KU game!
