One Kentucky student is having the day of his life, and it all happened on College GameDay.

During GameDay’s visit to the University of Kentucky, one lucky fan was chosen to attempt shots from half court in an attempt to win some scholarship money. As the clock wound down, the student buried a shot, hitting nothing but net and winning $19,000.

His celebration that followed was priceless. As you’ll here, he dropped a few bombs after cashing in on the big payday.

While ESPN probably cringed to hear a few F-bombs, you can’t really fault the kid. He did just win nearly $20,000 with one shot before noon.

That’s a pretty good day.

His shot, and his reaction, will probably be replayed over and over again.
