Paulus Trading Blue (Devil) For Orange

Greg Paulus has finally found a home to play football and it's well, home.

Paulus is from Syracuse, N.Y. where he was one of the top high school quarterbacks in the country in 2004 playing for Christian Brothers Academy in Syracuse. Now Paulus says he's enrolling into graduate school at Syracuse University and try to make a comeback in football.

"My heart and my gut told me Syracuse was the best place for me," Paulus said.

Remember Paulus tried out for the Green Bay Packers before the NFL draft, acknowledged a meeting with Michigan head coach Rich Rodriguez about playing for the Wolverines and took a visit to Nebraska.

It will take an NCAA waiver for Paulus to play for the 2009 season but that should be a mere formality. Paulus will have only one year of eligibility.

Paulus is a smart guy, he graduated from Duke earlier this month. Those of us at the OSG HQ wonder if Paulus knows what he's getting himself into. He's used to winning championships playing hoops for Duke. Syracuse hasn't done much lately. The last time the Orange were on the radar screen Donovan McNabb was under center.

Here's how rotten the Orange has been lately:

2005: 1-10
2006: 4-8
2007: 2-10
2008: 3-9

Good luck.
