The Greatest Upset Never Seen
Author: Jack Danilewicz
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 1496218671
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
No one had really heard of Chaminade University--a tiny NAIA Catholic school in Honolulu with fewer than eight hundred undergraduates--until its basketball game against the University of Virginia on December 23, 1982. The Chaminade Silverswords defeated the Cavaliers, then the Division I, No. 1-ranked team in the nation, in what the Washington Post later called "the biggest upset in the history of college basketball." Virginia was the most heralded team in the country, led by seven?foot?four?inch, three?time College Basketball Player of the Year Ralph Sampson. They had just been paid $50,000--more than double Chaminade's annual basketball budget--to play an early season tournament in Tokyo and were making a "stopover" game in Hawaii on their way back to the mainland. The Silverswords, led by forward Tony Randolph, came back in the second half and won the game 77-72. Chaminade's incredible victory became known as the "Miracle on Ward Avenue" or simply "The Upset" in Hawaii and was featured in the national news. Never before in the history of college basketball had a school moved so dramatically and irretrievably into the nation's consciousness. The Silverswords' victory was more than just an upset; it was something considered impossible. And the team's wins over major college programs continued in the ensuing years. Today Chaminade is still referred to as "The Giant Killers"--the school that beat Ralph Sampson and Virginia. The Greatest Upset Never Seen relives the 1982-83 season, when Chaminade put small?college basketball and Hawaii on the national sports map.

Pages : 328
Book Description
What in the world is going on? Almost overnight our modern world has entered into a period of great change, very suddenly and unexpectedly, with the largest and most violent storms, earthquakes, solar flares, flooding, droughts, severe weather anomalies, and earth changes than the greater majority of us have ever experienced in our lifetimes. The largest drought ever recorded in Americas history struck so quickly in 2012 that it was called a flash drought, encompassing over half of the entire nation. The full extent of the damage that this has caused through crop loss has yet to be realized on the worlds markets, but there will most certainly be food shortages soon, and prices are already beginning to skyrocket worldwide! Water shortages and actual water wars are also beginning to occur. The rest of the entire world is also experiencing these same disastrous events. Gigantic earthquakes are happening worldwide causing untold destruction! So many people have lost their lives or have been displaced by these unexpected tragedies that there is simply no way to account for them all. India had a power outage so great that seven hundred million people were without electricity for weeks, and people worldwide fear that something of this same magnitude may also strike their area in the very near future. What in the world is going on here? This book provides the answer to this question and gives sound advice on what you can do to prepare yourself as well as your family and friends to survive the even more severe earth events that may be set to occur shortly in our modern, rapidly changing world. It is my earnest hope that this book will be a great help and source of strength for you in the uncertain times that lie directly ahead. John Benjamin
