For all the Mid-Missouri Outlaws players fans and players looking for a dose of inspiration headed into Sunday’s semifinal bout against the Sioux City Bandits, there’s no need to draw from past monumental upsets in sports — Hollywood-born or real.
Forget the Miracle Mets in 1969, the Miracle on Ice in 1980, Hickory High’s win over South Bend Central in “Hoosiers,” Buster Douglas knocking out Iron Mike for the heavyweight title in 1990 or the Kansas City Chiefs’ shocking win over an undefeated Green Bay Packers squad last year. There’s just no parallel.
