Jim Thorpe and Carlisle upset Harvard, Flyers' goalie Pelle Lindbergh died, and Phil Mickelson's Craziest Win - This DiSH for Nov. 11

In 1911, Jim Thorpe and the Carlisle Indian School upset powerhouse Harvard 18-15.

In 1985, Philadelphia Flyers goalie Pelle Lindbergh died after being involved in a car accident on the 10th.

In 1990, Kansas City's Derrick Thomas sacked Seattle QB Dave Kreig seven times to set an NFL record that still stands.

In 1961, a University of South Carolina fraternity pulled a pre-game prank against rival Clemson. It probably had no effect on the outcome but USC did beat Clemson that day, 21-14.

In 2007, Phil Mickelson won the HSBC Champions of China in Shanghai, despite being penalized six strokes in the final nine holes. He won on the second playoff hole.
