WARRICK DUNN

I read that article yesterday, and it reminded me why Dunn has always been my favorite FSU player.

Warrick Dunn has been active for years with Habitat for Humanity in Baton Rouge – his home town. Each year around the holidays, he funds the construction of a house, not in a “hey, look how great I am” way, but in a spirit of appreciation that he has the means to do so. I’ve seen him interviewed at a house opening before and he choked up talking about it was something his mother wanted him to do. Good guy. But he’ll never be forgiven for turning has back on LSU and going to Tallahassee. And that’s all I’ve got to say about that.

while i still maintain that charlie ward LOVES the cock & always has… its pretty much impossible not to like warrick dunn

He run like me.

Remember when Florida State used to be good?

Dunn is an extraordinary human and I (unrepentant LSU and Saints fan) cheer for him wherever he goes. Everyone who visits this site needs to read about Warrick Dunn.

Dunn cannot be chided for turning down LSU. Curley Hallman had LSU mired in shit while Dunn was looking at schools. Look what happened to the “better talent,” Kevin Franklin, during his time at LSU. Kevin Faulk came in at the right time. FSU was the perfect school to showcase Warrick Dunn (as a person and an athlete), and later Travis Minor. Neither can be blamed for leaving Baton Rouge.

A lot of people are……..but he’s a WAYYYYY better man than me.

Eats has mad good lasagna. Warrick Dunn, as much as I hate FSU, is a consummate gentleman and an overall good guy. He’s been an active member in philanthropic shit and shows that NFL guys aren’t all thugs.

Remember when DMX wasn;t batshit crazy?

Warrick Dunn was a hell of a college football player and could end up in the HOF some day… he’ll probably pass 11,000 rushing yards this year.

Warrick Dunn is a man, in the true sense of everything it conveys, not merely biologically.

Would that we all could be as strong and as dedicated to giving back as he is.

Couldn’t stand the guy at FSU, but I’m glad I got to root for him on the Bucs.

Echo all of these sentiments. WD is an unbelievable football player and, more importantly, human being.

That being said, Matt Frier still blocked in the back to spring that swing pass against Florida in the Swamp in ’93.

Signed,
(still) bitter Gator fan

Grateful, as a Falcons fan, that he played for us. Grateful, as a person, that people like him exist.

If anyone should ever be in the Hall of Fame just for a being a decent, nay, extraordinary person, it’s Warrick.

Too bad that other “Warrick” at FSU was such a scumbag.

I was a boy, in age and especially maturity, when Warrick elected to go to FSU over the hometown Tigers. I called him a traitor, held it against him, thought he was the lesser of me. In the hotbloodedness of my youth, his tragedy just wasn’t that big a deal at all compared to where he decided to play. And where was simple, for or against LSU.

Now, I’ve grown up. Some. I’ve only begun to understand loss like Warrick’s. I can’t sympathize or even empathize with that. And I’m thankful. I understand how he had to leave. Hell, now, I wouldn’t mind if he had gone to Ole Miss and run all over LSU for 4 years and then run all over the Saints. But that wouldn’t really pay any penance for me or, moreso, console Warrick.

I’m now extremely proud of the man Warrick Dunn. He’s in the lineage of Walter Payton for me. The work he does for families here in my community is nothing short of saintly. But more importantly, I’m happy for him to be seeking peace and finding it through forgiveness.

By far my favorite Seminole. Great player, great person. He is as good a role model as you’ll ever find.

FSU spent many a recruiting trip trying to find the ‘next Warrick Dunn’, but he’s one of a kind. No matter your college affiliation, you’ve got to like him.

Much Obliged Dept:

I usually visit this site for fun ’n games and some shadenfreude.

But, the allergies sure made eyes very irritated reading this serious post. (thanks, and all of that….)

I think Orson needs to see this

I met him very briefly when he was still in college. And yeah, he’s not a big dude. But he sure does have a set of big, swinging brass balls, don’t he?

1. - I will forever argue that swing pass silenced the loudest moment in Swamp history in seconds. I’ve been at almost every game that people argue are “loudest,” but to me that was it, no question.
   …but if it had to be anyone, I’m glad it was him.
