Well, since no one is giving us a prayer this weekend, I figured it would be cool to get some clips/highlights up from some other great sporting events where one team didnt have a hope in hell.....
I'll start with the most recent football one....

Even more recent was Standford over USC. They were 40 point underdogs using a backup QB who had never taken a college snap!!!

Who was that team that beat UVA when Ralph Sampson was there? Chaminade or something? Easily one of the biggest upsets ever.

1966 NCAA men's basketball championship: Texas Western versus Kentucky.
1989 NFL regular season: Dallas Cowboys (1-15) over the Washington Redskins (10-6)...{I just threw up on myself.}
1990 World Series: Reds sweep A's; actually quite a few of the World Series are won by the underdog come to think of it.

Rocky going the distance against Apollo Creed and then winning the rematch against a much more focused, motivated Apollo.
Also, Scott Bakula leading the over matched Texas State Armadillos over the #1 ranked Texas Colts to end the season!
