Your Paulus Update

by Beauford on Apr 16, 2009 3:36 PM CDT in Michigan Football

UPDATE: These quotes are from TATE Forcier. There are several from Jason as well if you go here.

The Game - which is the Michigan Daily's sports blog - is now sporting a nice little transcript of Forcier's take on the Paulus rumors. Among the choicest of cuts:

From what I’ve heard, I’ve been talking to coaches all morning, my position coach, Coach (Rod) Smith, he told me specifically that they have not offered him.

From what I’ve heard, he hasn’t been offered anything yet, he hasn’t accepted anything yet.

I’m not worried about it, a kid like that was good in high school, but it’s nearly impossible to come back to this level and play. It might be possible, but not in the QB position. You have to know too much. You have to know the speed of the game.

It ain’t going to happen. I talked to (Michigan) Coach (Rich) Rod(riguez) and he said (Paulus) doesn’t know if he wants to play football or be a basketball coach at Duke or coach football. He doesn’t know yet. I might not be getting the whole story from my coaches, but there’s no final word.

That's alledgedly from the mouth of Forcier, and I feel stupid typic "alledgedly" but this whole thing started out as an April fool's joke 15 days too late, so who the hell knows.

If we could just leave it at…“Hey, Greg Paulus may give us another body at the QB spot… you know, where we could use depth of any kind” and let it be from there I’d be OK with this situation. Unfortunately, we’ve got reports of scholarship offers and wild speculation all around. I’m of the opinion that you can absolutely NEVER have enough talent. That said, the level of talent that Paulus would bring… wait I’m sorry, I cannot get over that I’m typing that name here and NOT mentioning how he should win 4 Heismans per Beano Cook… hilarious… anyways, I’m not sure how much of a benefit we’d be getting here. For all intents and purposes it’d be another true Freshman… but a true freshman who hasn’t played a competitive down of football in four years.

My message to Tate would be “don’t worry about it and don’t comment on it… nothing good can come from either”.

You know what else is funny?

Wander on over to BSD and see how much attention their paying to this… they’ve even already come up with a new creative and predictably mature nickname for Forcier! I wonder why it is that we don’t bother to come up with nicknames for Penn State players…. huh, oh well.

We own.

yes.

i loathe the lack of edit comment buttons on sbnation. when i go visiting places like roll bama roll i always realize i state something unclearly that always comes off as me trying to create a flame war when i’m trying to say something i observe casually.
