I am a VT senior, I was at that game, and I would love to educate you all on the situation. First of all, I’m not quite sure how VT is a ’shit’ school when their engineering and architecture programs are top ten in the nation, but I’ll ignore that bit of ignorance and shrug it off as naivete on your part. The legend of the “Tea Bag Paulus” chant is from the previous year when a former VT player, Deron Washington, (small forward, No. 13), (known around the country for his ability to make the sportscenter top ten nearly once a game with an earth-shaking dunk,) quite literally jumped over Greg Paulus twice in one game at Duke for lay-ups. Neither were charges, however both times Paulus took a flop. Ergo, when Duke came to Cassell Coliseum the following year, we gave him an earful for his academy-award nominated flop-a-thon as Deron gingerly placed his testes in or on Greg Paulus mouth, nose, eyes, and forehead. Nothing about it was malicious, and it was certainly not just a crude chant, there was meaning and clear derivation behind it. And, I might add, he did miss the first free-throw. VT did lose the game, but Paulus left his dignity in Blacksburg. Think and research before you preach, next time, please, for everyone’s sake, (before you singlehandedly throw away the credibility of a great university such as Duke with your brazen and foolish claims.) Perhaps next time Duke plays at VT we will bring up something else about your super classy university…maybe the lacrosse team?

Greg Paulus is a no-talent cross between Bob Sura and Bobby Hurley. I mean really.

And no, this isn’t John Mark.

………ahahahahaahahahahaha

that last post just makes me laugh..sorry

First of all, VT is not a shit school. By calling it that, you lose credibility. It’s no Harvard, but it is above average academically.

Second, how are you going to hold April 16 over their heads? That was 2 years ago, when 50% of the school (probably more than that when you consider transfers) wasn’t even there. And even so, how long does wearing a ribbon matter for? Look at New York teams and their own tragedy, September 11. The country reached out to them and they appreciated it, but did the actions of their fans change? No. Fans are fans, no matter what the circumstance is. Let VT fans and students appreciate the support they were given in a more appropriate time and place, not the basketball court.

Hey JW..you got the wrong guy..why would you think BW would stand for Will?

Greg Paulus is awful. There is a reason why people single him out and no one else on that team.

Duke fans have NEVER been classless! Only every other colleges’ fans!
