My mom has a Jack Russell Terrier. Contrary to popular belief, there is nothing mighty about them. That dog lays and sleeps for at least 80 percent of its day. The remaining 20 is spent eating, licking a human's face, and running around in a circle in the house, also known as "orbiting." This is all the dog does! See? Not mighty.

The Wofford Terriers are making a different case. Tuesday night, Wofford -- a tiny liberal arts college in Spartanburg, S.C. -- upset Georgia in Athens, 60-57. That would be case enough for a little Wofford love, but all right, I get it. You're skeptical. "Georgia's rebuilding," you say. "Anyone could have upset them at home," you say. I disagree.

But, for the sake of argument, I also present to you last Friday's 63-60 loss to Pittsburgh. The Terriers held a 13-point lead in the second half over Pitt before things began to unravel, but still, the point stands. In their two games thus far this season, Wofford has beaten one power-conference school and barely lost to another. If this is the time of the year that only college hoops die-hards really care about -- that pre-Thanksgiving outpost when, while the rest of your friends ignore college hoops, you scout from a distance in preparation for March -- file Wofford away. The Terriers just might have more for us in a few months' time.
