BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Back in the day, when "groovy" dominated conversations, football teams ran to championships, and the Super Bowl was a fantasy in waiting, one cartoon character loomed large and funny:
Underdog, a dog who was a "humble shoeshine boy" until morphing into a crime-stopping superhero canine.
Now, the 21st Century offers Alicia Keys' hit song "Underdog," which reflects social awareness and helping those less fortunate, and the overall underdog concept of a person or team expected to lose.
Word to the wise -- don't expect Indiana freshman defensive lineman Damarjhe Lewis, a self-described "underdog," to lose.
