Does he have a TWW account? Someone should contact him and offer him a free premium membership for one year, if he joins.

maybe BlackDog knows him

1/12/2013 6:51:47 PM

Maybe him and the fat dude from the football game can shoot some nc state promos.

1/12/2013 7:53:51 PM

I admire the kid's gusto.

1/12/2013 7:59:18 PM

^^LOL! We need both of them to join TWW. Then they could be our promotions people and bring this site back to life.

How the fuck does someone getting knocked over in a wheel chair qualify them for "promotions people"

1/12/2013 8:04:04 PM

my wife knows him somehow.

1/12/2013 8:25:07 PM

he's one of the statisticians for bball games...face and skoal can must love him, or hate him for only tabulating quantitative data

1/12/2013 8:27:49 PM

Those stats arent tempo free

1/12/2013 8:42:01 PM

Him and the fat kid at the FSU game both went viral on youtube, so that makes them kind of famous.

1/12/2013 9:02:22 PM

I haven't seen this dude in years, but definitely remember interacting some with him. I think he's from Zebulon and his family owned the land the Mudcats stadium is on or something. He was always at Mudcats games /blackdog

1/12/2013 9:13:02 PM

dude is lucky to be alive

1/13/2013 12:29:37 PM

^And since he is everyone can now laugh including him.

1/14/2013 12:14:05 AM

people who freak out over extremely local, extremely flash-in-the-pan "celebrities" are a sad, sad bunch

1/14/2013 12:48:52 AM

They are about to show the video on Around the Horn!!!

So glad this turned out to be a positive publicity thing for NCSU b/c it could have been terrible...

1/14/2013 8:26:16 PM

1/14/2013 8:28:43 PM

that's what i said. can you not read? why such a jerk recently?

1/14/2013 8:41:59 PM

this website man, (i dunno)

1/14/2013 8:43:34 PM

haha, ok. i'm pretty sure i did read it, but I questioned it's credibility.

1/14/2013 8:46:07 PM

i caught this kid on the news tonight. awesome

looks like he has a tww name of thrill21 or something. never used though

1/15/2013 12:12:18 AM

^Someone get him to become active. He would be a nice addition to the forum.

1/15/2013 12:13:48 AM

CNN is indeed dropping sports illustrated for bleacher report to cover their sports news

1/15/2013 12:49:12 AM

CNN is in the middle of a complete re-branding, and they are more than likely trying to do it on the cheap

1/15/2013 7:14:47 AM

Lol I came here to say this is going to be on the Today Show in the next half hour block

1/15/2013 7:25:01 AM

Someone zoom in on the moment he was knocked over. Looks like a player knocked him over.

1/15/2013 7:49:28 AM

That was awesome!

1/15/2013 7:50:28 AM

Purvis fell on him.

1/15/2013 7:57:02 AM

lol @ Oliver Sholder

1/15/2013 8:16:28 AM

Is there a way to see that video. Don't see it posted yet on their site

1/15/2013 8:34:47 AM

^^^^Purvis was pushed into him.

1/15/2013 8:34:55 AM

Was anyone watching this happen after the game and thinking this would end badly? So glad he is ok though!

1/15/2013 8:35:58 AM

Please post a link to the today show episode from today.

1/15/2013 8:39:06 AM

I didn't see (well, notice) the on-court action, but I did see him talking to PNC Center Staff and the guy ready to push him... I thought, surely they aren't rolling out there first... then I went back to focus on the game.



Did the girl doing the Today Show interview call him CG at one point?

They are known nationally already.
Nice thread.

1/15/2013 10:03:11 AM

I'm sure the audience were motivated by the wheelchair kid. They just followed him to enter the court.
