Any Gardner-Webb alumni here?

Having gone to a small school myself these kind of victories are extra exciting to me. A nice article at ESPN.com here on last night's huge upset. ESPN.com LINK
Did you guys see Sports Center last night and see the G'webb coach BEAMING the biggest smile I have ever seen. Total s*it eating grin.
Notice that G-webb's star last night was a WALK-ON at this school. How funny. On any given night who knows what will happen!
I also noticed that G-webb now will play at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 15th and 16th by winning last night's game and going further in the tourney. I am just guessing they didn't assume they would make it that far as they have games on the 13th and 17th already scheduled!
I love sports!

COLLEGE BASKETBALL; Christian Values Meet Athletic Scandal
By VIV BERNSTEIN
Red brick buildings, neatly trimmed lawns and river birch trees dot the campus of Gardner-Webb University in the heart of this small, Bible Belt town. Gardner-Webb was founded as a Baptist college and is known historically for producing teachers and preachers. Alcohol is banned, the student honor code is posted in every classroom and no building eclipses the steeple of Dover Chapel.
It is hard to imagine a setting less likely to produce a scandal over manipulating a top basketball player's grade point average.
But Christian values, academic integrity and college sports collided at Gardner-Webb over the last month, after the university president admitted he had ordered that the university's rules be ignored in the calculation of a star player's G.P.A. to keep the player eligible.
Students protested for eight days, two administrators were demoted, three faculty members quit and, finally, the university president, Dr. Christopher White, resigned under fire.
....
Even funnier? I accepted it!
Never heard of Gardner-Webb.
Anybody that beats Kentucky is my favorite team and I live there.
Did you play basketball for Bruce Carrier?
Go Tribesman.
