  Upset - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Upset ("Zebra" in Brazil) is a term used when referring to a competition, frequently in electoral politics or sports.
When an upset occurs, the party popularly expected to win (the favorite) the competition is defeated by an underdog the majority expects to lose, defying the conventional wisdom.
This is one of the biggest upsets in basketball history because the Lakers had won 3 of the last 4 NBA Finals and had a starting lineup of 4 potential hall of famers (Shaquille O'Neil, Kobe Bryant, Gary Payton, Karl Malone).

 Upset response workload and staffing analysis and management   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
A worst case upset is chosen and the operators are asked to "walk through" their actions.
Determining the upset requirements for board operators involves "talking through" a worst-case upset and evaluating the DCS configuration and alarm system structure, along with other variables.
Frequently the problems in upset response originate with poor DCS configuration, which limits the board operator's ability to respond effectively to an upset situation.

Nothing illustrates the NHL's propensity for playoff upsets more than the harsh truth that the No. 7 seed has won almost as many first-round series as the No. 1 seed.

 Counseling: Use Communication To Release Another Person’s Upset, by Bill Ferguson
When someone is upset at you, the most important thing you can do is to get their upset communicated.
To the extent that you are able to understand and appreciate someone’s upset, the upset loses power and no longer needs to be expressed.
The key to releasing someone’s upset is to have the other person say whatever he or she is upset about.

 Celizic: Pistons title would be top upset ever - NBA - MSNBC.com
Sometimes, in fact, it seems that upsets are more the rule in the other sports than the exception.
The last real upset we’ve seen was the 1995 Rockets, who finished third in the Midwest with 47 wins and took on the Orlando Magic, led by a pretty good center named Shaquille O’Neal.
But that upset fails to qualify as truly overwhelming because the Rockets were still, despite their record, the defending NBA champs.

Much like the U.S. hockey team’s victory over Russia in the 1980 Olympics, Duke’s shocking upset completely overshadowed its national championship victory two nights later over, uh, who was it again?
