South Carolina fans found a great cause to go along with their improbable trip to the Final Four.

A GoFundMe page called for die-hards to donate $4,000 to send “Gamecock Jesus” to Phoenix, a total reached easily in just 17 hours.

Yes, Gamecock Jesus. Here’s some important information on the guy.

1. He’s a superfan whose real name is Carlton Thompson and he says he’s been a fan since his sophomore year in high school, and that he graduated from South Carolina nursing school.

2. He’s also been called “Baseline Jesus,” a similarly awesome nickname, probably because of his long hair and beard.

3. There’s a good reason why he needs a GoFundMe to get out to Phoenix

From the Post and Courier:

“Gamecock Jesus” is not going to New York City. Or to Stockton, California. But as the real Jesus might say, Carlton Thompson will be at the Sweet 16 — both of them — in spirit. “I wish I was going,” said Thompson, the South Carolina Gamecocks fan also known as “Baseline Jesus.” “I’d love to be going to either one, but I really can’t afford it.” … “I’ve always dreamed it would be like this,” said Thompson, a nurse at a VA hospital in Columbia whose long hair and devotion to the Gamecocks earned him his biblical nickname. “For years and years, it was so sparse with the crowds at the games. But once they started winning, the crowds started coming.”

4. He doesn’t just attend basketball games

No word yet on whether Thompson will indeed be going, but this is an amazing good deed.
