Twitter Tuesday: Get Off Sam Ficken’s Back Edition

Following the 1-5 performance of Penn State kicker Sam Ficken on Saturday, several ignorant people on Twitter voiced their displeasure with the young Indiana native. Then, intelligent people spoke up.

Shake it off, Sam Ficken. You’re far from being the biggest dickhead in the history of Penn State football.

Ok…maybe not the best example. What else ya got?
 

Sam Ficken could’ve tried to transfer, but he stayed. I give him more credit than anything!

Sam Ficken, “You stayed with us, now we stand for you.” Hang in there brighter days will come. WE ARE…..!!!!!!!

For all you classless fans tweeting at @sficken1 for missing field goals, I’d like to see you go out there and make those kicks. Grow up.

Penn State kicker Sam Ficken. Keep the faith. You stuck with us and we will stick with you.

This is a repeating and important point.

Allen Robinson on Sam Ficken: “As a team we try to pick him up. He just has to shake it off and I think he’s done that.”

Great to see the player and fan support for Sam Ficken tonight. Just remember that he, like the others, stayed when the going got rough.
