After the initial outbreak, people stopped talking so much about the swine flu. I guess everyone realized that, although it can be dangerous, it is just the flu. As long as your immune system isn’t compromised and you get medical attention if your fever goes too high, you’ll be just fine in a few days, like you would be with any other type of flu.
Flu outbreaks, however, can knock down an entire team, and since this strain is so contagious, it is spreading like wildfire across college campuses, where students are always in such close proximity to one another. This …read more

A lot of people are making nothing over the swine flu. For instance, at the day care center where I work part-time, one couple canceled their daughter’s enrollment because they were afraid she’d catch it. Give me a break. But, really, it can be quiet serious when there really is an outbreak of any type of flu, which is what Duke has been dealing with over the past few weeks.

It looks like John Calipari is inheriting the perfect situation at Kentucky.
First, Patrick Patterson withdraws from the NBA draft and decides to return to school. Then John Wall, the nation’s number one recruit and lighting-quick point guard, decides to sign with Kentucky.
I’m guessing that Coach Cal is chomping at the bit to get the 2009-2010 basketball season underway.

“Being able to play against Eric (Bledsoe) is a big plus,” he said, according to Rivals.com.
Duke, Miami and Florida were also at the top …read more

It really isn’t a dramatic jump, considering the fact that Greg Paulus was a standout quarterback on his high school football team. While at Christian Brothers Academy, Paulus started for three seasons — passing for over 8,000 yds., breaking five state records and losing only three games throughout his career.
These stats were so impressive that Paulus was once considered the best quarterback in his age group, receiving 53 scholarship offers to play football at the Division I level in college.
But Paulus’ first love had always been basketball. And when he was given the opportunity to play for one of …read more

Greg Paulus is known for his work on the basketball court. Recently, the Green Bay Packers wanted to see if the former Duke point guard could make a good NFL quarterback. With the 2009 NFL Draft less than two weeks away, the Packers are apparently checking everywhere to make sure there isn’t a quality prospect hiding where other teams aren’t looking.
It’d be an extreme longshot for Paulus to be drafted by the NFL, but he does have a lot of football experience. Before deciding to go to Duke to play basketball, Paulus was a highly-recruited quarterback. According to reports, Paulus …read more
