Best wishes to TM7--thanks for the memories

I wish TM7 the best as a man and also a Tiger. I appreciate his dedication to the program the last 2 years.
I was always a big fan of TM7, even the cocky twitter shite I don't even understand. I can't pretend to relate to his early childhood or even to losing my home and belongings like many of you did in Katrina and especially at that impressionable age.
I love his attitude and that he constantly played with a chip on his shoulder and like he was out for revenge and NEEDING to prove himself. He was raw, not perfect, but so often great.
Here's a 3 star guy with zero offers from BCS conf schools other than LSU and only because he earned it at a camp. That's awesome. Totally undersized and as an 18 year old earns playing time in the same backfield as a physical freak like PP7, a prototypical 5-star NFL ready talent. He earned respect from PP7 and accepted his legacy.
He played fearless and reckless, but focused as a freshman and sought to punish and humiliate some of the biggest names in CFB as a sophomore. Always a chip on the shoulder, always proving he belonged. Play after play after play. He earned the recognition and he earned the awards and the trips to New York along side Luck and Griffin just 2 years removed from high school as a 3 star recruit weighing 175 lbs. That's also awesome.
Yeah, he was not perfect on or off the field but if we could all channel our own anger and frustation like he did on the field each one of us would be pretty unstoppable.
Cheers to TM7 and best of luck

Positive message to TM7. Prepare to get whacked.

I wish him the best of luck. The kid I emphasize kid because he made a mistake that every college student does at some point. I know he is held to a higher standard, but I hope he learns his lesson and excels at McNeese.

you'll probably get bashed, but I like this post. I don't understand the psychology of someone like TM7, but then again, I've never been remotely close to being in his shoes.
Thanks for the memories TM7.

Yeah, he made his bed and now has to lie in it. I don't feel sorry for him but I do empathize with him. I can't appreciate coming from his background and reaching that kind of fame so fast.
He's just one of those extreme personalities it seems: he reaches the highest peaks at his best and low valleys too. This is a setback but he's got plenty of life and plenty of football left.

Douche usually refers to vaginal irrigation, the rinsing of the vagina, but it can also refer to the rinsing of any body cavity. A douche bag is a piece of equipment for douching—a bag for holding the fluid used in douching. To avoid transferring intestinal bacteria into the vagina, the same bag must not be used for an enema and a vaginal douche.

should be stickied imo

Thanks TM! We'll miss you! Good luck at McNeese and hope to see you playing on Sundays in the future!

quote:i too wish him the best of luck but he does not deserve a pass because "every college kid does it". it is a very clear cut rule which he has violated multiple times even was suspended for it. i am not against marijuana if thats what it was and i think it is preposterous that its illegal when alcohol is legal but that is not the point. it was a rule he knew about was warned about and chose to give a big frick you to his teammates his fans and the university. i have no sympathy for this kid.

Great post. I'll sure miss watching him play. Every time he was near the ball (which was most of the time) you at least anticipated something great to happen. He was (and is) a very special player. I'm pissed he let the team down but unlike some I understand you make mistakes. Particularly at his age. I made more than a few of my own. Hopefully this hard lesson will make him a better man. Hopefully this team and the fans, with as much promise for a season as i can recall, will not suffer for his behavior. Regardless, I wish him well.

It's just starting to hit me how bad this sucks. I respect Les for what he did, but Tyrann was the face of the team and always kept you on your toes.
Fun player to watch!
He made some mistakes but I wish him the best.

I'm honestly really sad he's not a tiger anymore. He was one of my favorite players and i expected him to shine. The news was heartbreaking to me as fan.

I am worried for him- they test for pot in the NFL
What's more important to him?
I hope he choses wisely

This is just sad on so many levels. Some things are bigger than football man.

Great post, and best wishes to TM7.
Some people use humbling situations like this as a turning point in life. I hope Tyrann channels his dedication and competitive fire into a successful football career and successful life beyond that.

Man, those highlights are pretty amazing. We've seen them before but seems different now. I can't imagine what they could have been as a junior or senior.

Great post.
Thanks for the memories, Tyrann. Take your lumps, get yourself back together, and go on to fulfill your dreams. You have all the talent in the world to go far.
Don't throw it all away for weed. It'll probably be legal by the time you're done playing at the pro level, so just hold off for a bit.
