Sometimes You Just Need A Hug

Every now and then, something happens that restores my faith in humanity. Sadly, the effect doesn't last long, but I still appreciate it at the time. In last night's Cincinnati win over South Florida, Bearcat wide reciever Mardy Gilyard streaked into the endzone in pursuit of a long pass from quarterback Tony Pike. Gilyard caught the pass out of bounds and his momentum carried him into the stands where he crashed into 7 yeard old Garrett Monroe, who ended up in tears - probably more scared than hurt. Gilyard's instinctive reaction might brighten your day, at least for an hour...



As it turned out, the kid was interviewed by ESPN's Erin Andrews, and, by the end of the game, was signing autographs! Go figure... Game recap, and additional video can be found here.
