Update: Unfortunately, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin had to inform the program on Saturday afternoon that he would be unable to take Stephen F. Austin up on its invitation.
@SFA_MBB I’m busy fighting crime on the mean streets of LA right now. Congrats on a helluva win and best of luck!! #HELLYEAH!

Original story:
Outside of Thomas Walkup resembling a lumberjack, there was nothing more popular on social media late Friday night than posting pictures, GIFs and videos of WWE legend “Stone Cold” Steve Austin as a method of honoring No. 14 seed Stephen F. Austin’s stunning 70-56 upset of third-seeded West Virginia.
They came in fast and furious.

And the end result — if the Lumberjacks get their way — may be the ultimate slobberknocker: The Texas Rattlesnake showing up at SFA’s second-round game on Sunday against No. 6 seed Notre Dame.
Hey @steveaustinBSR – if you’re in Brooklyn on Sunday, we’ll save a seat for you. #AxeEm #MarchMadness

The offer has been extended. Austin himself event recognized a tremendous “And That’s the Bottom Line” graphic with a retweet.
No they didn’t. @WWE @steveaustinBSR #MarchMadness #andthatsthebottomline pic.twitter.com/Fd3TDkO8Yl

The only question that remains is whether the six-time WWE heavyweight champion will make his way to Brooklyn for the 2:40 p.m. ET showdown.
It would be, let’s just say, a Stone Cold Stunner. (OK, I’ll show myself out.)
