Message: [QUOTE="VAMike23, post: 2014307, member: 150"] Surprised that Geno gave out not one but [B][I][COLOR=#0000ff][U]two[/U][/COLOR][/I][/B] post-game Hugs before they had even played their 10th game! Geno can say that somebody was "really, really, REALLY good last night," but that's not enough to get a Hug. Three 'reallys' is a great game, don't get me wrong. Geno is usually grinning, with a twinkle in his eye, on those occasions when he hands out that compliment. On the other hand, Hugs only come when he can say--and does say to the cameras, with a straight face and with all sincerity--that someone was truly magnificent that night. I don't see Lou getting a Hug any time soon because I think some of what goes into a Geno Hug are the expectations going in. Danger being a freshman in only her 2nd game putting on an All-American performance against Baylor? Check. Gabby putting the team on her shoulders (in some respects) and dominating in epic fashion against Notre Dame? Check. Lou seems to me to be this year's version of DT/Maya/Stewie, where if she goes off and has a ridiculous game the best she can hope to get from Coach is, "Yeah, I saw what you did. What took you so long?" I'm trying to think of just what Lou would have to do for Geno to (figuratively) take his hat off, label her performance "magnificent," and give her the postgame Hug. It would have to be one helluva game, that's for sure. [/QUOTE]
