Going through security line at one of the smithsonian museums. I had on state T shirt. The staffer said to his colleague while pointing to my shirt, "you know who that is dont you (no he didn't mean me personally). Dak! The man who went to lambeau and beat Aaron rogers." The other guy said, you mean Dakota & his partner said no, Rayne Dakota. The man has made an impression.
Interesting encounter....

It's pretty incredible. Every time I get in the truck ,i hear Dak on the radio. Every time I sign into Facebook, I see an article on him. And I still can't get enough. Dak has had the Bulldog faithful wrapped for a few years now, now it's spreading across the country.
I meant the national attention he his getting. They own the head to head over him at State. They love to remind us of that point.
Actually I have yet to talk to an OM fan who speaks poorly of Dak now that he is gone from MSU.
And to me, the other real question is
If Dak had gone to LSU, what would he be doing this season?

Same here
I live in cowboy country and on my 10 minute commute to work, I'm hearing about Dak way more often than not. Just heard the local sports guy talk about how even the defense is playing better bc they are inspired by him. Everybody has gone Dak crazy. It's incredible
Man I hope he's set up well for a big contract in a few years. He deserves it. To put it in perspective, only halfway through the season, Mullen has earned approximately what Dak's entire 4 year contract max value is worth.

I don't recall Eli getting the attention that Dak's getting. Mostly what I remember is that he was drafted by San Diego and somehow Archie got him to New York. I didn't really follow NFL then (or now either except Dallas), but I think most of his popularity then was at least somewhat due to Archie and Peyton.
Dak is more of a Cinderella story that many fans can identify with. People like his humble beginnings and his rise to fame in spite of the odds. Eli, to me, has always handled himself well too but he was pretty much born with the proverbial silver spoon in his mouth.
SAme here. Nothing but props to Dak and glad he's gone from starkville. They actually seem fascinated by how humble he is. Like it's a foreign concept.
And it turned out this way because of the DUI. Thanks Officer Friendly !!
Add to that, one of the best O-lines, a great RB, good receiver corps and one of the best OC and play caller. Linehan has been great with Dak.
Dak has to wait a while for the big money but the way it's going, he'll make a million in the off-season on endorsements.

I imagine there are 31 NFL GMs, all of whom passed on Dak MULTIPLE times, who aren't overly excited about his success.
I'll fill in between the lines for you. Eli was drafted by San Diego; however, his daddy and he thought he was too good to play for San Diego, due to quality of the offensive line there. So they refused to play there and brokered a deal to send him to New York. That put his silver spoon on the national stage.
So how will this help our football team? I'm still waiting on the #1 national ranking to pay off.
Frame your SI covers and use them to decorate your office. There's your payoff.***
I live in Cowboy country and this summer when I mentioned they got a good one in Dak they just looked puzzled and said, "Who??"
Now when I walk into watering hole with my State stuff on they alll yell, "DAK!"
