Great for him, hopefully this will improve his stock to the point where he'll be drafted and given a shot on an NFL franchise.

Wow that's an awesome way to end his collegiate career, plus he goes out with victory. I meant to watch it today, but with the Georgetown game going on I forgot. Congrats to #34!

Tuailili would be a great fit for my Baltimore Ravens. I hope we take a good hard look at him in the draft.

Congrats on a fine season.

Congrats to Mike! I caught bits of the game and saw a couple nice stops involving him, he looked pretty good. Hope this gets him some more attention at the pro level!

I can't believe no one can spell his name! It's Tauiliili. Four i's, two in the middle. Can a mod fix the thread title.

Tauiliili is easy to remember how to spell

T a u, like the Greek letter tau

i l i that's only three letters, two of them the same, and pretty easy to remember

i l i that's the same three letters as above, in the same order.

Now, wasn't that easy! And pronouncing it isn't tough either.
Tau - like Monty Towe, the former NC State point guard in the 70's. It's like saying towel, without the second syllable.
ili - ee-lee long e's both before and after the L
ili - ee-lee, same as above, same inflection

Class over! It only took Coach Cutcliffe 10 months to learn the pronounciation (from listening to him talk about him during interviews).

Congrats to Mike! With the right team he could become a household name, provided Ozzie can get them hooked on phonics.
