Ultrarunner used to start this thread, but he has taken a break from the boards and entrusted this bit of DBR tradition to me. As Brevity reminds us, this thread acts as a replacement for the various "Upset Alert" threads that used to pop-up episodically on the boards. So, the gist of this thread is to alert folks to a potential basketball upset, but to do so in a way that only alludes to what is happening, so as not to "jinx" the outcome by talking about it directly. Ultrarunner used to say "use this thread to talk about something, *anything,* other than the impending upset," but that's typically done in a way that obliquely references the upset.

Example from last night: Whiskey from the highlands tends to be better than Irish whiskey. Translation: The Highlanders of Radford upset the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame.

Distilled down (see what I did there?), the overall point is to have fun with the topsy-turvy would of college basketball.

Enjoy!
