NCAA Tournament: The Real First Round Upset Pick

http://dwil.wordpress.com/2007/03/14/ncaa-tournament-the-real-first-round-upset-pick/

I saved my final pre-NCAA Tournament piece for this. If you're filling out multiple brackets include this upset on at least one sheet: the #15 Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Islanders over #2 Wisconsin. That's right. Tex. A&M-Corpus Christi has a great chance to beat the Wisconsin Badgers. This is not the writing of a crazed, sleep-deprived, "bracket eyes," writer - well, maybe if the Badgers win by 20. But they won't and here's why.
