Southwest Alumni on Jeopardy!

I am sitting in front of my TV watching SW alum MATT DOUMA (I forget the year, sometime after 2000) playing on JEOPARDY. He is currently in second place.
Stephanie Wegner

And he won!!!! He won $14,100. He was in second place but he was the only one who answered the Final Jeopardy question correctly:

Category: Catchphrase Origins
Answer: Knights were awarded a golden pair of these for acts of bravery
Question: What are spurs?

I think I remember teaching him that- along with everything else that he knows- in Honors World History when he was a 9th grader back in 1999.

It sure is a rewarding feeling.
