That's just great, now the poor kid's screwed!

I think he’ll defy the SI jinx (🤞🤞) and I hope for the same thing too!

I was fifteen and growing up in Athens, when the most unbelievable and improbable event in the entire world took place: my highly valued subscription to Sports Illustrated yielded the top High School Basketball recruit on the front cover, who was wearing none other than a Bobcat's uniform and posing at the very center of the floor of my beloved Convo. That, of course, was legendary Bobcat, Walter Luckett. To this day, I always remember that as a lesson on how anything is possible. If an Ohio Bobcat could make the cover of Sports Illustrated than there is no point in ruling out any possibility whatsoever.

That said, I could never have even imagined that a fellow Athens High School Bulldog would not only be in the running for the Heisman Trophy, but also make the cover of Sports Illustrated. I mean: WOW! I am really considering the strong possibility of beginning to play the lottery again and thus avoid being outside during an electrical storm. This whole thing is so surreal. I wish this kid well. He has certainly done the unexpected. Hopefully, nobody else comes to realize just how tasty and special that Hocking River water is.
