Quote:Student Tim Mayerbock helped pull a wounded student, Troy Chamberlain, to safety. He was walking to class when he started hearing gunshots. "At first I really didn't know what was going on, so I just kind of stood there and waited, and more and more people kept coming out," he told The Early Show.

There is gonna be a ton of inspiration for our sports teams this year.

In that situation he was just another Huskie helping a Huskie.

Proud of all our students.

Troy graduated from Sycamore last year.

Happy to report he is out of the hospital and doing well.

I heard he was pulled to safety by a "huge guy", but I had no idea that it was Mayerbock. That's awesome.

This is what's known as a pulling guard. I assume there was no flag for holding.

Sorry. Just trying to add a little humor and levity to the situation. We've all been through a lot the last 24 hours.

LOL!!!! :ncaabbs:

Thank you for putting a smile on my face. I guffawed at this one.

As time goes on, undoubtably we will hear more stories of heroism. And they can't come soon enough....
