A few weeks ago I wrote about one of the biggest upsets in college basketball history when Indiana State beat Kentucky (See Dis-Rupp-Tion Post #1124) Today I’m writing about THE biggest such upset in history! It was Stephen F. Austin over #1 Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium  85-83 in OT. The Lumberjacks were a 27.5 point underdog. From my perspective, the Blue Devils aren’t quite as hated as the Kentucky Wildcats, but it’s still big news to any college round-ball fan. Duke Down!

I’m tuned into the Bears v Lions game, as I strike the keys. For me, it’s the ultimate Turkey Bowl that had a positive outcome for Bears fans like me last year (See Post #746). The Bears also lead the overall series 100-74-5, dating back to 1930 when the future Detroit franchise was located in Portsmouth, Ohio and known as the Spartans. The Bears started as the Decatur Staleys in 1920. (See Post #185). Both teams are off to a rough start this year, so this shapes up to be a battle for the basement. None of my Chicago favorites have had a good 2018 or 2019 seasons. 

It seems to be a tradition for me to write about football on Thanksgiving, as well as watch. Last year, we went to quaint Bend, Oregon for the weekend. It’s also the time of year for the Bucket Game between my Alma mater I.U. and state rival Purdue. (See Post #867). This year the Hoosier have already claimed Bowl eligibility, while this will be the Boilermaker’s last game. This makes me nervous! All three sports will be playing in December this year, a rare occurrence. I.U. Basketball has a chance to remain undefeated this weekend, while Soccer can continue its run to another NCAA title against U.C.S.B. They did not give up a goal in the entire month of December, that included 5 games to claim the regular season and BIG conference “double.”  Go Hoosiers. Go Bears. Duke Down.
