Congrats to Michael Tauiliili

#34 earned 2cnd Team All-American status (http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=22672&SPID=1843&DB_OEM_ID=4200&ATCLID=3632183). I think he was worthy of 1st team, but given Duke's record and status in the football world this is still a remarkable and respectable achievement. He overcame some rough self-imposed adversity to prove himself, and was a whole lot of fun to watch. Best of luck to him, hopefully we will be watching him on Sundays.

An honor richly deserved. I also think he belongs on the 1st team, but I understand that Duke's name and record made that hard for voters to do. Congrats to Michael and to Coach Cut for all the hard work and impressive results.

Thats great, really glad to see him get the recognition...he definitely deserved it. Hopefully he'll get a shot in the NFL, either as a draft pick or an undrafted free agent.

He's undersized so it will be tough but he sould get a shot.

Great recognition for a great player.... I think Michael deserved First Team! Yes, he'll be sorely missed, but he's left a great example for the rest of the team.

Thank you, Michael!
