| (Mo)hawk: About as close as UMES can come to a majestic bird of prey |
Every now and then, you lose to a team you just flat-out don't expect. Sometimes it happens to the biggest fish in the pond, like Kansas or Wake Forest, upset on the biggest of stages like the NCAA Tournament. Other times, it happens to even the most middling mid-major, caught in the tumultuous throes of a rebuilding season. Say, for example, last year's clash of the winless titans when we took on the University of Maryland - Eastern Shore Hawks, finally expecting that first win of the so far 0-7 season. In the end, we walked away from a 65-58 defeat in Princess Anne, MD, scratching our heads and wondering when the pain would finally end. While most casual observers probably wouldn't get too excited about this particular "underdog", well, let's just cut to the chase here - when UMES beats AU, I consider it a serious upset.
