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? Could Paulus be the first Wolverine QB rejected by Duke? Cutcliffe says there's "no way" he'd let Paulus play QB for the Blue Devils. sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=4070344Also, re: Healy's comments above, various CFB blogs have pointed out that this sort of thing has worked before, with Chris Weinke at FSU. FWIW, Greg's brother Dave had very good numbers at GU. Of course, he had Luke McArdle to throw to.

paulus will not be playing at michigan. he was never offered a scholarship, even though michigan has 3 open scholarships to give out. this little turd created this entire drama by going on tv and radio claiming he had a scholarship offer and a chance to compete as the starting qb. he never worked out for the michigan coaches. he just attended practice. he completely failed as a basketball player, now he's trying to get in the news by re-creating his football career that ended 4 years ago.

Greg Paulus is an extremely overrated player-no matter what sport. Tried to say this years ago--but the Paulus community aka his family came here and got upset. It's not saying he's a bad person--and if you are proven correct--does that make the original post a "flame"? I think not.
This "Paulus Media Push" has been embarrassing and why someone with so little talent has gotten so much praise is beyond me.

Paulus likely to play for Syracuse: I saw this on the espn ticker last night and thought for sure it would've already been discussed on the board. He just makes it too easy for us. A Dukie to SUcks. This should be entertaining. sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=4091418

haha..was thinking the same thing when i saw it on sportscenter this morning..he's making it too easy to hate him. I hear Paulus' next career move will involve him joining Gary Williams' staff at UMD College Park.

So a marginal ACC point guard will now play Quarterback at an irrelevant Big East football school. This needs more coverage, not less.

This "Paulus Media Push" has been embarrassing and why someone with so little talent has gotten so much praise is beyond me. I don't get the misplaced anger with Greg Paulus. Dave, Dan, and Chris all went through Georgetown and Dave was arguably the best QB Georgetown has had since J.J. Mont. The family traveled down from Syr for the better part of seven years to games and were very loyal to Georgetown. Greg should have rightly been recuited by Georgetown in basketball and someone in the staff poisoned that relationship. By the time Mike (now at UNC) and Sarah (Fairfield) came along, Georgetown wasn't even in the discussion. Greg would have been a considerably better player under JTIII than Krzyzewski trying to turn him into Bobby Hurley under the Duke system. I suspect he would have been allowed to play two sports at Georgetown as well, and the football Hoyas could certainly have used the help.

Paulus was never as good as the hype--which was proven in basketball and will be proven in football. It's beyond ridiculous to give media attention to a guy who has not taken a snap or rep in a college football practice and he's been paraded around and talked about as if he's Matt Stafford or Mark Sanchez--who was in same class as Paulus. If he wants to play--no big deal but how do you explain the undeserved media whore-tour/press releases and full of make believe info-Michigan NEVER offered him a scholarship--that was made up. He was a McDonald's All American (undeservedly) and ended up on the bench as a SR--that is all the proof you need he was overrated--no matter where you play.

he was a good qb in upstate ny, but not anywhere near the best qb in the country as a high school senior. he wasn't nearly the qb that sanchez, perrilloux, mccoy, or olson were as seniors.

The Associated Press 10:12 AM EDT, May 14, 2009
LINCOLN, Neb. - After looking into the possibility of coming to Nebraska, former Duke basketball player Greg Paulus says he'll play one season of college football at Syracuse.
I'm thinking of something that rhymes with Swoosh Flag.

The twelve year old in me is giggling loudly. Can't wait to see Cuse go winless in the fall.

Wow that thread referencing the ESPN article got deleted FAST! Of course, we all knew EXACTLY what the title referred to Have fun in orange Paulus.......excuse me while I throw up in my mouth. P.S. we should probably change the name of the thread now.

He had no choice. Really, given who he is and what he stands for, Syracuse was the only place to go. And HeartAttackHoya hit the nail on the head... his next career move will be to join Gary Williams' staff. Either that, or maybe he will get hired as a researcher for Bum and eventually take over Bum's job (whatever it is that Bum does these days, besides lose money in restaurant ventures).

Oh good lord. Make it stop. Now I'm praying we have another game in the Dome next year so we can smack the floor with him.
