    with Tech. Was this the extra math requirement or something?

    He points he out he ended up being able to go to a better school anyway.

    Already Clemson is using the guy as propaganda against Virginia Tech. From reading the posts below the article, CU fans want him to lead the charge down the hill when they play Tech. As for Rodriguez, of couse he is going to say "he landed at a better school." He is a Clemson Tiger now, not a Virginia Tech Hokie that he always dreamed of being. I would have loved to have a guy like him on the team. All I can do is wish him well.

    ...it was a great story and he is a military hero but in D1 football he won't much if anything. Count on it. What position could he start at, besides special teams, at Tech or Clemson? WR-Size and speed are a problem. DB-Speed is a problem. Those are the only positions he can play with his size and speed. I am not upset that we lost a walk on.

    it will be a major PR bust on our part. dabo knows exactly what he has in his hands. its going to reflect poorly on us, especially when we play against them and thats even in the eyes of the informed fan. uninformed fans are going to treat us even worse.

    i predicted this HOPING it wouldnt come true but so far all the pieces are in place. this could signal the start of some very bad blood between tech and clemson

    Oh please. That's a total load of crap. It reflects well on VT that we have admissions standards that are higher than Clemson's and we didn't bend them simply to score "PR points". Besides, Chris Coleman says he's seen the guy's film and he's nothing special. It would have been a great "feel good" story but it's doubtful that he would have seen any meaningful PT here.

    Agree 100%. Bottom line is, he did not qualify at VT...end of story.

    You never know ... I think it would have been nice to have our own "Rudy" story at Virginia Tech.

    My guess is Rudy did the academic work he needed to get into Notre Dame.

    If the real Rudy was anywhere near as dimwitted as the movie version, I'd have to say that's unlikely.
