Saw a local news story out of Memphis (probably some type of syndication but it was narrated with local media) that was a human interest story about one of the kids that won a scholarship - the one with the 1.5 Million ATM sign.

Just thought it was cool on a Tuesday afternoon news broadcast.

Is he from the Memphis area?

His parents are from somewhere in NC I think and met on the APP campus. The local news learned that a Memphis station employee/coworker was an APP grad.

Some story about the kid being a miracle baby because mom had cancer and he had to be removed for cancer surgery and put back in afterwards.

Gastonia.

Wasn't expecting this reference, but agreed. Wow that's a miracle story if I've ever heard one.

Not to divert away from the medical miracle, but here's another interesting App/Belt appearance...

This is the video story I saw on local Memphis news, or at least most of it.

There is a video on youtube of the last two minutes of the Troy/App State game that has nearly 900,000 views. In 3 days. Congrats on the pub guys!
