Oregon looks gorgeous on the cover of Sports Illustrated

Hold on to your butts, SEC.

The cover story in the new issue of Sports Illustrated is about the Oregon Ducks. It comes complete with this totally bad-ass cover photo:

Worth noting:

  • This game did not happen in Oregon, so the background is color-corrected, at the very least.
  • They made a bunch of Washington fans look like Ducks fans, which is sort of troll-y.
  • That doesn’t matter at all; stop being dumb.
  • Seriously, look at how rad that photo is. Shut up.
