This Would Not Qualify As a Duke Flop
By Chris Mottram | March 25, 2008
We previously missed this clip, most likely because it came after the outcome of the Duke-WVU game on Saturday was not longer in question:
That would be freshman Cam Thoroughman intentionally (at least, it appears that way to me) laying out Gerald “The Flying Frog” Henderson. Yes, the same Cam Thoroughman who — when told that Greg Paulus was a McDonald’s All-American after the game — responded with, “Oh my God. Are you kidding?”
The best part, aside from the thud as Henderson hits the floor, is that there wasn’t even a foul called. Perhaps next time Gerald will think twice about trying to give Thoroughman that little pussy, elbow shot to the back.
(Yeah, I worked both a link to Yahoo!’s The Dagger and The Sporting Blog into the same post. Synergy, baby. Synergy.)

Greg Paulus is an overrated, flopping whiner. He has peaked and Duke will go nowhere with him as their #1 option.

You know what’s funny (I mean, aside from 8845’s comment)? I think that actually was kind of a flop. And, given the situation (down 8 with 15 seconds left), that would be kind of wierd.

Game situation is irrelevant when you’ve made flopping a way of life.

Definite flop. Did he get hit? Yes. Hard enough to fall? No. Hard enough to “thud” the ground? Not a chance.

Based on the fact that you can hear a “thud” when he hits the ground, I’d say he was hit hard enough to make a “thud.”
I don’t know what video you guys are watching if you thought it was a flop. He got run over by a shoulder-lowered 6′7″ backwoods honky.

Someone pointed out over at the Bastards that Darius gets a titty twister from one of the Dukies about the 15 second mark.

OMG you’re right. I think it’s Scheyer. That is some crazy shit.

Sorry, it’s Singler. Still crazy.
