Where do I Start ?

The lists of upsets goes on and on. So I started on the No.1 Spot for Ph.d's to research for their thesis' - Wikipedia. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ )


An upset occurs in a competition, frequently in electoral politics or sports, when the party popularly expected to win (the favorite), is defeated by an underdog whom the majority expects to lose, defying the conventional wisdom. The underdog then becomes a giant-killer.

The meaning of the word has popularly been attributed to the surprising defeat of the horse Man o' War by the horse Upset (the loss was the only one in Man o' War's career, though Man o' War later defeated Upset), though the term pre-dates that 1919 race.

Why "Heads Held Low" ?

For years, people have been keeping records of the amazing things that have happened over the years.
Even though long forgotten, these people have their head held high; maybe as long as they live.


But many times, people are remembered, not for the their achievements; but for the way they just stunned people, in the negative sense.
From Own-Goals to Scandals, I Embark on a quest never undertaken before.


To Record the biggest upset in history.
