That's a lot of love for his guy.

The Lumberjacks had their season ended by Notre Dame on a last second tip-in, but got a huge win over 3-seed West Virginia on Friday. Walkup was everyone's favorite playing after scoring 33 points against the Mountaineers and looked the part of a lumberjack with his beard and haircut. He also seems to be a great kid according to the coach and that definitely counts for something.
