Spoiled with Upsets: We Should Appreciate ALL the Underdogs
03/26/2008
Hunter Dunlo is a 23 year old recent graduate of James Madison University. He currently lives in Chesapeake, Virginia.
Hunter possesses a few qualifications for being a sportswriter: he graduated as an English major with a minor in Writing and Rhetoric from JMU, worked in the sports department at WAVY TV 10 (Hampton Roads, VA NBC affiliate) for two summers, and has been consuming as much sports media as he possibly could since Elementary school. But overall, he is an amateur with a desire to express his opinions.
Thanks for the comments. I understand your viewpoints that most people would not consider the Wisconsin Badgers a cinderella team, perhaps you could call them a "regular season cinderella". I just think should be pointed out how well the Badgers have played this season, completely unexpected from any of the media, writers or coaches. When Davidson is a 7 seed in the tournament and received more pre-season votes then the Wisconsin Badgers, I think it's something that we should just keep an eye on.
Cinderella (French: Cendrillon) is a popular fairy tale embodying a classic folk tale myth-element of unjust oppression/triumphant reward. Thousands of variants are known throughout the world. [1] The word "cinderella" means one who unexpectedly achieves recognition or success after a period of obscurity and neglect.
The Wisconsin Badgers are unexpected receiving much success after starting the season with obsucity and neglect.

Hunter:
Welcome to BR! Good stuff on the tourney breakdown (and actually admitting your errors--definitely a first). I look forward to more.
And props for your willingness to rock the pink bowtie on a sports site.
Keep up the good work...
