LOL at he got off easy --- dude is a collegiate athlete talkin trash to another collegiate athlete thats grounds for a suspension?
1. He said something in a taunting manner
2. HE PUT HIS HANDS ON BLOUNT
3. He turned away like he thought nothing was gonna happen because of 1 & 2....
POW.
Hout was already in the process of getting reprimanded by his coach before he went night night....for everyone piling on Blount for what he did, just as much if not MORE of the blame should be on the shoulders of the man who got the whole thing started...
*for you folks that live in Oregon or follow Oregon football, how are the fans looking at this situation?
I look at the situation as such: Oregon's offensive problems start at the o-line and thats where it needs to be fixed. We've got some good backs (excluding Blount). What Blount did is a problem...a huge suspension or dismissal is all that is gonna work for me. I think LaMichael James is going to be a better back than him anyways. Just a bad, bad game all around. One to put behind and move forward to the next.
EDIT:
Senior tailback LeGarrette Blount has been suspended for the remainder of the 2009 season, head coach Chip Kelly announced Friday.
University of Oregon Head Football Coach Chip Kelly has announced that senior running back LeGarrette Blount will be suspended from the Ducks' football program for the remainder of the season following his involvement in a post-game incident after Thursday night's 19-8 loss at Boise State.
Kelly said the suspension would remain in effect through any bowl games the Ducks may play in.
Kelly emphasized that Blount will remain a part of the school's football program and remain on scholarship throughout the remainder of the year. Blount will continue to have access to all of the university's support services provided to all student-athletes, will be allowed to take part in all team activities, including practice with the team, and will be held accountable to all team rules and regulations. However he will not be allowed to participate in any games.
Blount rushed for 1,002 yards a year ago and established a school record with 17 rushing touchdowns.
Dude pissed his career away in that game last night. Bye Blounty

He ignited the whole thing. LeGarrette was already eating crow after what he said and the scoreboard said enough. Dude instigated it.. Should be suspended 1 game IMO.
I won't speak for the guys on NT, they can speak for themselves, but here at work, where i am, nobody wanna talk about nothin today. All the flags come down, no shirts, SWEAR TO GOD, I have a friend who is a Duck fan, AND HE"S WEARING A BEAVERS HAT. I swear to you.Originally Posted by CP1708

He's a tailback. When your O-Line is garbage there is nothing you can do. If anything he should have snuffed the dudes on the line. Teach themhow to open holes, run and pass block.Originally Posted by cmoneymontana

If he wanted some get back, he should have done it during the game. Don't wait until the game is over, and you got your *++@% handed to you.
Trash talk is part of every sport, its nothing new. The best players of all time in all sports were trash talkers, you just have to learn to let your play do the talking.
I do not agree with the Boise St. players not having their teammates back, but it is over and done with now.

I disagree. Fans think that because they pay for a ticket that they can do anything they want. Some of them need to get handled for what they say.A lot of slurs come out of the stands and they get too personal.Originally Posted by 18key

Yup.
All over Facebook my Beaver friends are dishing it out to my Duck friends, and the Ducks are taking it in stride, agreeing on the suspension and all the crap they're getting.
I agree with the suspension. Blount overreacted and shouldn't have tried to go into the stands, regardless of what a fan called you.
Making excuses for a dude who cant control his emotions.
Go back to slobbing Tony Romo.
This suspension is insane, the length at least. You have players that fight on campus with students, rape and steal that don't miss any games at all.

That's why you have to have thick skin if you play sports. You need to be able to take anything fans say, no matter how out of line,especially when you're playing on national tv.Originally Posted by SaltineWarrior
