Bryan Bulaga Offers Free Hugs For Packer Fans

Perhaps we're overly inclined to find this picture amusing, since Bulaga's "one of our own," so to speak. But between this and Mike Mayock going "Scottish Dad from So I Married An Axe Murderer" on him, Bulaga is quickly achieving "lovable galoot" status.
Truth being awesomer than fiction, though, some context is necessary: Bulaga wasn't actually offering hugs to people (shocking, we know). Here's the full caption for the above photo, from the Associated Press (via Morehouse, whose full article on Bulaga is truly worth the read and done no justice by this post):
Green Bay Packers first-round draft pick Bryan Bulaga talks about his short arms, during a news conference at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis., on Thursday, April 29, 2010. "I've never been in a situation in a football game where I have thought to myself after a play, 'Gosh, I wish my arms were longer,'" Bulaga said Thursday.
Oh, and don't worry, Green Bay fans. He doesn't actually do that stuff in the picture on the football field. That would be holding, and holding is a penalty. If the Packers wanted an Iowa player who committed a foul on every play, they could have just drafted Glen Worley instead.

would argue against Mr. Worley being your choice for Iowa athletics fouling supernova.
I will haunt your dreams and eat your children.
Brommer wasn't Mr. Basketball, was he?
Gotta be up there with the biggest busts in Iowa Basketball history.
They can't have him yet...
…but if the Pack or any other NFL team wants him in a couple years they might have the next defensive punisher- – they’d just have to tell him that it’s “basketball on grass”.

Worley
would be better if you said, “don’t worry team x If you wanted and Iowa player to turn the ball over and follow it up with a foul, Glen Worley would be your man”
Seriously, the dude might have gotten WORSE while he was at Iowa.
So frustrating.
And yet...
He never lost that look of surprise when he was called for those terrible fouls.
Look at those cute little arms.
Who wouldn’t accept a hug from a guy with cute little arms like that?

he and AQ need to hug as grown men do, with their short little arms

Go ahead, mock his short little arms...

Man, there were a lot of pasty white human-dinosaur hybrids roaming the Iowa campus last year.
I did always wonder what was going on down in the depths of the Chem-Bot building…

Keep wondering
just don’t ask too many questions……

I lined up at Burge's food trough for two years.
And I never got any crazy extra-genetic advantages aside from an extra ten pounds or so. Bah and humbug.

No, you should have said your mom is glandular.
By the way, Ross, your mom is glandular.

Nothing interesting
That is to say, nothing that will result in UN sanctions.
Now, in the tunnels between BSB, med labs, and the hospital is another story.

He should have entered the presser
with his arms tucked inside his shirt, so only his hands were sticking out of the sleeves, and then comically reached for the mike to adjust it to proper height. He’d have been a hero.

One thing the article doesn't say
is if he plans on graduating. I’d be interested in knowing that, and I probably would have asked him three weeks ago when I met him on the ped mall if I’d realized it (I’m not kidding, I’m that kind of nerd). Super friendly though, he took all the attention very well. I can’t wait to see him take over for Clifton. Hopefully Clifton’s bionic body holds out long enough for Bulaga to develop for a season or at least the better part of one.
Hey Packer
I wish I had the chance to ask. I just watched Bryan’s press conference via video stream.
If I had to venture a guess, I would think he’d finish. He doesn’t strike me as the kind of guy who would let that sit. Might be a few years. I know Dallas finished after he was an established player. Probably the same timeline for Bryan.
