Boise State Player = Soda Popinski's relentless trash talking after the Civil War. Blount's Punch = BSU ass whoopin on the Ducks in the first game of the season. For all the other Duck fans, just remember there is still the PAC 10 season to play for. Maybe CK and the Ducks can figure it out before conference games start. Just look at the Beavers season last year -- horrible start -- great finish (except the Civil War game which sucked big time!!! )
Right.. cause I'm sure it was a pre-meditated punch, and he had so much time to take his helmet off before he punched the guy who taunted him.
"In explaining the fracas with the fans, Blount said he thought someone was about to hit him with a chair. "On my way to the locker room, I seen a guy raise a chair at me, like he was going to throw a chair at me, and the next thing I know, one of the fans came over and hit me,'' he said. " did anyone else catch this? it really only focused on Blount reacting all the way to the locker room, so I didnt see a fan hit him.
"I just apologize to everybody that was watching this - ESPN, national TV - I just apologize to all of our fans, all the Boise fans,'' Blount said after he punched Boise State linebacker Byron Hout in the wake of Oregon's 19-8 loss in Boise on Thursday night. "It was just something that I shouldn't have done. I lost my head, and I shouldn't have taken it that far.'' http://blog.oregonlive.com/behindducksbeat/2009/09/oregons_blount_kelly_discuss_f.html ...and in other utterly surprising news, Canzano is calling for his head STOMP
Wow..There are actually Duck fans saying the BSU player deserved to get hit? Perhaps if the UO team had kept their mouths zippered before the game and stopped all their trash talking they wouldn't expect it after the game. Totally, totally classless by Blount... Even as a Beaver fan I'd cut Kelly some slack. Hell, he's got to deal with little Mikey still running around on the sidelines. I'm sure it was bad enough for Mike having the Ducks' owner calling him all the time with suggestions, now Chip has to deal with Mike and the owner at the same time.
Being hyped as the best RB in the Pac 10 - $million$ dollar first round NFL contract. Rushing 8 times for -5 yards against Boise St. - 3rd round NFL draft prospect Sucker punching an opponent (with your helmet on) after an embarrassing loss - PRICELESS!
Humiliating performance on and off the field. Kick Blount's ass off the team. No excuse for what he did. Enjoy this, Beaver fan. Judging by the calls into sports radio this morning and some of the posts in this thread, this is a huge moment for your program.
As a Duck grad and fan, all I can say about this travesty is that I cannot wait for the NBA season to start.
Ridiculous. In the first UO/BSU thread, you were the first one to sling mud. Then we got the "little brother" crud. If you're going to go in all high and mighty and put OSU down in the process, expect to get some back when your team looked crappy and your star RB throws a punch at a guy looking the other way. It ain't rocket science. You get what you give. Honestly, for the Jayremmies of the Duck world, I've got lots of sympathy. A loss like that just sucks.
I'm just pointing out that I wasnt referring to the OSU program, and I was referring to fans in general. Ducks alike.
That wasn't the way it came across to me, but doesn't matter either way. Let's move on and hope both our teams do better going forward.
