Well with Villanova's ass-kicking of Duke tonight that means only one thing. O.K. that means multiple things, but those are too many to list here. No with Duke's loss, that means Greg Paulus has played the last game in Durham, North Carolina.Little Greg, grew up in Syracuse, New York. He is only one of two players to be named National High School Football Player of the Year, and not go on to play football.
He was heavily recruited by Syracuse, Norte Dame, and Duke. He choose Duke and began his career in 2005.
His freshman year was the best year Duke has had with him on their team. They won the ACC title, while Paulus had 187 assists for the year.
His sophomore season he struggled with an injured foot. Sadly, he recovered. Also that was the year he famously flopped in their tournament game against VCU which they would go on to lose.
His Junior season was his best statistical season. But Duke still lost in the 2nd round to West Virginia.
His Senior season was his worst. He was demoted in favor of Nolan Smith. They promptly got their ass handed to them by Villanova in the Sweet 16.
I am personally going to miss what Greg Paulus has given us. So this is my personal tribute to Greg Paulus.
Bye, Greg. It's been fun as it lasted.
One more time folks, "Tea Bag Paulus" "Tea Bag Paulus".
Tea bags and tea-bagging in general won't be the same once he leaves Duke.
