The Internet has already made SFA's Walkup a national hero

The songbird of our generation!

Stephen F. Austin became the darling of the NCAA Tournament with a huge win over 3-seed West Virginia thanks to 33 points from the Lumberjack GOAT Thomas Walkup. There was a lot of celebration online for his game and for the upset itself. However, some people might have gone overboard with some comparisons and praise of Walkup.

That's not an underreaction at all if you ask me.
