NEW YORK - The Posting Up Perch is conveniently located near one section of the Dawg Pound students who have travelled from Boiling Springs to root on their Bulldogs. Clad in red Dawg Pound t-shirts, there are two groups of about 25 students each and so far they seem a bit stunned by the whole atmosphere.

Some of the students have red t-shirts with "Upset Special" on the front and the Kentucky result on the back.

. . . We are, it should be noted, sort of caught up in the Bulldog mania and if we start to to bark at random times - as some of the student have begun doing - you'll need to forgive us.

. . . Important to note that Gardner-Webb is located in Boiling Springs. Not Warm Springs. Not Lukewarm Springs. Not even Hot Springs. But Boiling springs.

. . . A sparse crowd on hand for the tip, but it's a pro-G-W crowd, as everyone loves an underdog.
