Most Hogs' fans don't think about why they keep coming back after disappointment, but there's one clear and obvious reason
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — My wife often asks why I love to watch sports. The answer is simple: there is no script. You can't predict what'll happen like with most movies. Plus, sports produces incredibly dramatic finishes that defy logic and the most imaginative ideas that could ever be produced for the theater.
In fact, the term upset, although used on occasion prior to 1919 to describe surprising results in baseball and horse racing, came into vogue when the great thoroughbred Man o' War was beaten for the only time in his career by a horse he'd whipped handily on four other occasions. That horse was named Upset.
If the Hogs had won that game, the odds were 81 percent that they'd be hosting next weekend's Super Regional -- just as expected. Teams that don't start 2-0 in the regionals have just a 19 percent chance of advancing.
