Perspective from the inside....

[Hoyacane1620]

Tyrique Stevenson does a weekly blog for Ferman's ON3 site. Today he talked about the team, social media and the fans and his injury. Some real stuff from him...

Seems like a good kid. I hope he gets healthy soon and helps turn the season around.

-ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE FANS:
Like somebody actually told me to die, you know?

Disgusting.

Hope Rique is able to stay healthy and finish the year strong.

This just reminds you these are still just kids. Kids doing their best.

Each loss, even with some wins, I have to block people, you know? A lot of people do come with harsh opinions, come with harsh statements. Like somebody actually told me to die, you know? And that’s how they feel. I’m still here apparently. But just stuff like that you block it out because at some point that’s how somebody is feeling in 10 seconds and that’s how they felt. And that’s not how I feel about myself and I know I have loving people around me and stuff like that who cares about me.

After he muffed that one punt vs TAMU, I wanted to die.

 

[Mi.Cane]

Love that he’s on track to get his degree soon.

if social media had existed in some of our 80s/late 90s/early 2000 teams those fans would have been hunted down for such comments

I hope TS can get hot in this final stretch and show the qualities that made him such a highly rated recruit. He also needs help from his secondary teammates. Once the communication improves, those guys will really be cooking.

Cowards get to hide behind social media, make troll accounts, and say fucck **** to ppl

You know, football is not always going to be here...

This gets forgotten by all the people who just want to see NFL minor leagues.

I wish we all had to use our real identity in ALL Social Media, including the comments section for online news articles.

The vast majority of us never played CFB let alone at this level therefore the vast majority of us have no idea what these young fellas go through on a daily basis. To excoriate these young guys over a missed play, tackle, or whatever is absolutely insane.

Maybe, just maybe, an encouraging word might help motivate them to improve and be better the next time.

In situations like this, I almost wish I had a Twitter so that I could offer words of encouragement and thanks for them doing their best and being Canes.

Very well spoken. He will do well in life even after football. This guy is a team player. We need more of him.

 

[Gsugradcanefan]

Disgusting.

Grown men who follow and @ these young kids on social media (especially after losses) are the p***yest of p****es.

 

[OrangeBowlMagic]

Bro if you message someone that you want them to die because they play football for your favorite team and screwed up, you deserve everything bad in life.

I feel like I take this **** way too seriously but never in my right mind would I feel like it's OK to contact these kids directly. ******* weirdos.

I can promise you that a lot of the people on this board and fan message boards throughout the country would quit 30-40 mins into a Wednesday practice.

Even some of our greats made mistakes that ultimately ended up being big time plays in close games. It happens.

 

[Angry Ibis]

Great insight from TS. Seems like a strong dude.

We see threads like this every year and collectively go back to ****ting on players within hours to minutes every time…

College students aren’t kids.
