Im an OSU Fan, but i respect the Ducks, this IMHO is a stupid move, I hope he doesnt play in a game, not for the sake of Oregon State, for the sake of that team and everything surrounding it
I don't have a real problem with it either way. I doubt he'll be a determining factor anyway in any game we have left.
I have no problem with it. Hard decision for CK I'm sure... He was put in a bad situation in the first place.. He showed that one guy is not bigger than the team.. but he also showed that people can be forgiven for their mistakes, and get another chance.. I think the suspension shows a lot to the parents of the potential recruits.. but re-instating shows the kids something too.
Meh. The initial punishment was overkill, so I have no problem with giving him another chance. OTOH, this won't help the team win their remaining games....so who cares? At best, this will give people something to talk about besides the Stanford collapse.
...I know this was predetermined earlier in the year and all, but what coincidental timing right after another November choke job
I agree w/ BeerBoy. But he shouldn't be a big part of the offense at all, imo. He isn't as good as LaMichael James anyway. 7-2, #13, Hold own destiny to get to the Rose Bowl. Hows your team?
over half the people on espn voted to re-instate Blount... coincedentally Arizona is one of the states against it
Well, I believe if we beat you we'll have a say in the destiny of who goes to the Rose Bowl...so..pretty good, thanks.
dude only set the all time touchdown record for the Ducks last season and at least was projected as a high draft pick in the next NFL draft at the start of the season, so I don't know why you're so quick to dismiss him as inferior. He's obviously a very different running back then LJ so they're sort of hard to compare as to who is better. Safe to say having both available is better then only one or the other. not that I really know how Chip will use him, but my guess is that they'll roughly split time STOMP
I'm just curious what comes next. My prediction: Lose to 'Zona - Blount is buried alive. Lose to OSU - zombie Blount rises up and wanders through the ERB, sucking brains!
I'm not sure how the tie breaker works but I think USC wins. That is my basic understanding of every Pac-10 rule. USC wins. If that is not the case then we do control our own destiny. If that is the case, then USC wins.
That Florida player tried to poke a guy's eyes out and he's suspended 1 half. Blount got a raw deal (though in the end fair) compared to the way the "traditional" powerhouse schools work.
