A D3 talent saying a D1 school didnt play him
Dec 23, 2014, 12:11 PM

Bc of "politics" is rich. D Rod doesnt have D1 talent much less NFL talent. Dabo gave him a opportunity above his pay grade. Thanks to Dabo he now has a book and movie. How dare he accuse Dabo and the coaching staff of playing politics with him. In fact, Dabo went over and beyond to promote D Rod and get him on the field. There are hundreds of thousands of veterans just like D Rod, yet Dabo gave him the oppurtunity and platform to get his story out. You werent talented enough to see the field yet Dabo played you anyways, so how bout showing some appreciation instead of accusing him and this staff of playing politics.
P.S. Theres a reason the others were on scholarship and played more, they belonged in D1.

Clemson wouldn't have let him in the door.

The University had to roll over and play 'SEC,' to get this guy in school. We then spent hard earned athletic department dollars to train his body and mind to play at this level of competition.
The truth is, we got a heck of a lot more out of this than a 5'7" WR.

Only a non-vet could be so critical, Dan has helped many to

see Clemson in different eyes. Dan has worked so hard, unbelievably hard to recover from his PTSD and has inspired and continues to inspire other vets to do the same. Only non-vets could be so full of shallow, thin - skin and reactionary! I am proud of Dabo and Clemson for giving Dan the chance. And now the struggling MEDAL OF HONOR Bowl is getting some good Pub. for giving Dan a chance!

This opportunity, its the lack of appreciation and respect by his accusatory comment.

I havnt read the book or the quote, but D-rod is allowed his opinion, just that some opinions shouldn't be put on a book, unless you have something to back it up with, especially how sensitive people are these days and look for something to win with

That werent as good as him, just bc they were on scholarship. The fact he thinks he is as good or better than our scholarship players is insane.

Why do you even care so much?

The guy brought great publicity to Clemson, and he'll be a good ambassador for the school. If a relatively benign comment like this is all it takes for you to turn on somebody, maybe you need to take a few steps back from the ledge.

I still like D-Rod, just don't believe that should've been put in a book that's all
