Tommy Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 You know, despite the fact that you can't have things like this going on in college football, if you notice in the video, Blount is trying to walk past the Boise St. player, and the Boise St. guy slaps Blount on the helmet and taunts him. Who's showing the worst sportsmanship here? The guy who taunts someone else and initiates after WINNING? Or the guy who punches the jerk in the mouth for being like that? I wouldn't have had a problem with it if he didn't end up almost getting into it with the fans afterwards. He had to get dragged off the field pretty much. I think you need to give people a wake up call sometimes when they act like jerks, and maybe the Boise St. player got the message..haha. PS: It was a pretty solid punch. The guy went down.

zazie Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 I guess that is better than what Lebron did after losing. why what did lebron do?
Nervous Guy Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 why what did lebron do? pouted and walked off the court without shaking hands when the Cavs lost the series this year.

The guy went down. no doubt the BState guy taunted him, but having watched it last night and having reviewed the replay a few times, it appears he didn't hit Blount on the helmet but on the shoulder pad. jw

agilen Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 I really don't think much should happen to the Oregon guy...the Boise state guy clearly went up and taunted him, and then he got lit up. Thats how every backyard football game ended when I was a kid. Even the Boise coach knew what his player did was wrong and tried to stop him. If anything the UO guy should be disciplined for whatever happened with the fans. As far as that punch goes, if you just won a game and you get in the face of your opponent and taunt him, you better be ready to get decked.
NobesBLO13 Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 If you're going to punch the guy whatever but don't immediately backpedal like a coward. That was almost as bad as Carmelo Anthony.
May Day 10 Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 yeah. You watch it in slow mo and it appears that Blount had time to comtemplate his action of knocking that dufus out. But he was frustrated after his 8 carries -5 yards after talking so much s%&t, the game was over, this meathead says something moronic, slaps his shoulderpad and he immediately answered it with a punch. I believe if that was it, it would easily be dealt with. However, the actions afterward cloud the issue. The way he attacked his teammates, as well as his actions toward the fans and how he carried on. Very embarrassing for a classy program after a very miserable game for them.
Mark Vader Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 Man, was I wrong on that game. Oregon has got to get better @ making in-game adjustments. Boise State came in and ran the ball strong against the Ducks, and they never countered it. They also never got their spread offense going. First year head coach Chip Kelly looked eerily similar to Dick Jauron in terms of game strategy. Trying a slow developing option play in your OWN endzone was just silly, and they paid for it. Time to go back to the drawing board, Chip. You got that right Rich. 14 yards of total offense in the 1st half? That is not the Ducks we are used to seeing. They just looked lost out there. Give credit to BSU for moving the ball and just punishing the Ducks on defense. However there were moments where both teams played very sloppy, so I was'nt left thinking "WOW, these two teams are going to be tough to beat". Still it was their first game and there is usually a lot of rust to be worked out.

Fred Smerlas's Moustache Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 The Oregon dude was out of control and deserved to get kicked off the team, but I'm glad that cvnt from Boise got jaw-jacked.
/dev/null Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 This guy's draft stock just dropped dramatically. Way to go, loser. Belicheat* is probably wishing he had somebody like him after SB XLII
jwws9999 Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 I still can't believe they suspended him for the season, football players have been duking it out since the game was invented

Who's showing the worst sportsmanship here? The guy who taunts someone else and initiates after WINNING? Or the guy who punches the jerk in the mouth for being like that? Is this a serious question? Physical violence is not an appropriate reaction to verbal baiting. The guy who punches loses the mental battle and is the bigger idiot here, IMO. He could have walked a way, or said something about the other dude's sister. Better yet, shake his hand and show himself a better man. But the punching choice is way more entertaining for us. So that's something. BTW, here's a link that works (at least for now): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0kk-LQ5IgI

Nanker Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 "Undraftable". (Todd McShay and Kevin Weidl) "had given Blount a late-second or early third-round grade after his strong finish last season -- when he rushed for more than 1,000 yards while sharing carries -- with the hope he would come into this season, carry the full load and capitalize on that momentum. He entered the season as our second-ranked senior running back behind Clemson's C.J. Spiller but has done absolutely nothing to help himself. He is blowing what was a great opportunity to maximize his draft stock as a senior. We talked last night to a college scouting director from an NFL team who said, 'In the matter of five minutes, Blount just went from second- or third-rounder to completely undraftable.' Yes, he was egged on a bit by Hout, but big-name players deal with that kind of trash talk all the time without throwing punches in return." Blount had 8 carries for - 5 yards in his last game as a Duck.
