Would any of these make your list of biggest upsets?   What are some of your biggest upsets in sports history?


  As you've mentioned before, I think you and I grew up in the same house.  I was also glued to the tube for the Notre Dame win over UCLA.  John Shumate.  Adrian Dantley.  Dick Enberg calling the game.  And I think Notre Dame scored the last 12 points in a row to win by one.  Also, I saw the Villanova win in person, I was a student at UK at the time, walked down from campus to Rupp, bought an upper arena ticket from a scalper outside for $10 bucks!  The economics of the tournament has changed a bit since then.
