I hope that you misheard or are mis-remembering, because it was Tennessee 
who beat Northwestern this year. Even if Wilbon were referring to Arizona 
beating NU in last year's WCWS, it doesn't quite make sense for him to use 
it as a reason to root for Tennessee, who have now done the same thing. I 
hope Kornheiser and PTI haven't fully succeeded in "dumbing down" a smart 
guy like Wilbon.
