sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4067162Interesting, and factually inaccurate, quote... "He is the only one among his male siblings to take the basketball route. Each of his five brothers played Division I-A football; Mike Paulus is currently a quarterback at North Carolina." Didn't a couple of his brothers play football for the Hoyas? When did we become Div 1-A?

All of his bros played at least a year for the football team. One of them was a walkon for the basketball team. His youngest sibling, the only girl in the family, also plays college basketball (at Fairfield).

There was an feature on ESPN a few years back about a guy in his 50s who went back to school (it was some DIII school or something) and played football for them to fulfill his dream of doing so- So it's not out of the picture! |

And Sam Young played for Pitt when he was 40 (and he played for them for about 12 years).

Paulus: Michigan to give him shot at QBI have never heard of this and had no idea it was even possible: EXCERPTSince Paulus did not redshirt for the basketball team, he has one year of eligibility remaining in another sport. And since he will complete his degree in four years, he can go to graduate school elsewhere and compete immediately.

Meh. This says more about the desperation at UM than anything else. The kid hasn't taken a snap in four years, and has never taken a legit high D-I snap in his life, and Rich Rod expects him to stroll into Happy Valley, the Shoe, Sparty Stadium, Camp Randall and so forth and make a difference without a redshirt year?
Ok. Let's see how this works.

I think it would be great if this did work, but eh, not likely.

I haven't been following this, but I saw him on PTI today.
Let me say, as a Michigan football fan, I just puked.
You can't slap the field, my friend. Those OSU linebackers will still flatten you.
Ugh. Is it really this bad in Ann Arbor? Can't Faraday time travel and bring back Tom Harmon or something?
