Kalani Sitake broke his own world record for hugs in a college football postgame on Friday night, after his BYU Cougars beat Western Michigan in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl by the rousing count of 49-18.
The Big Hug embraced coaches here and players there, the guy to the right of him, the gal to the left, a thousand guys to the right, another thousand gals to the left, before he walked out of Albertsons Stadium, grinning straight into the dark.
He was ecstatic about the way his team had played, in a manner that had escaped the Cougars for much of the season.
