"Namath is dreaming about his prediction to beat the Colts" (1967)
"The U.S. will never beat the Soviets" (1980)
"Villanova has no chance of beating the Hoyas" (1985)
or my favorite from 1990 when a new Athletic Director from a small Indiana school took over as the new AD and predicted post-season success when a certain school had won only 2 games the previous season. "Butler will never make the NCAA tournament, let alone the NIT"
