Oregon players conduct

[volinbham]

What I thought was interesting about this was that Coach Peterson was running out to grab the Boise State player and was only a few inches away from the sucker punch. He didn't miss a beat either and picked the Boise State player up and got back in his face.

Peterson is a true coach -- he knows he can only control his own players and he'll make something positive out of this.

It makes me wonder if this particular player is known for doing stuff like this, he was all over him like he knew what he was about to do.

So does this mean the whole "shakes hands before a football game/gamemanship" weekend got off to a bad start?

 

[Duckcrazed]

All I can say is wow to the people that actually condone this sucker punch. I don't care what the hell the guy said...It's inexcusable...If I was the coach he would be off the team...not temporarily, but done, scholarship pulled no invite backs...

Boise coach even knew his kid was in the wrong. You could see he was upset wth what his player said before the punch. And after he still got on him. He derserved it.

But to throw the punch shows a lack of self control and some stupidity. He put his career on the line. Also one punch doesnt make him a thug. The thug label gets thrown around way too much. Plenty of people have had fights. That doesnt make them a thug.

lulz.

Its not that we condone it. Its entertaining. Yeah he should be kicked off the team. But if he is willing to throw it away then I'm fine with him doing it. Its not like the lose anything by kicking him out. Actually, they gain 5 yards and 2 points back.

merge with "wow" thread.

What if we don't want to merge with "wow" thread? Maybe the people in that thread aren't as nice. I may start another thread on this same topic just to piss off the people that keep chanting merge

:boxing2:

provoked him? they're football players...they talk trash. most sane human beings either talk it back or ignore it...besides after getting swept in a home and home against a wac team oregon deserves to have a little trash talk come their way.

For the sake of the argument - Chris Peterson knew that his own players was being a complete douche because he started grabbing him and getting in his face as soon as he said something to Blount and that was before the punch was thrown - I found it hilarious.

Was still horrible - but I'm happy that guy got clocked - guy was out of control though - not sure if I would have tried to heckle him like one of those fans as he was walking off the field.

My question is what are the consequences if Blount misses on his punch and hits Peterson. He wouldn't have had to miss by much.

Seriously it was not worth him possibly losing a chance to play college football, for some guy who says one thing! ITS FOOTBALL people talk trash. You can not go around knocking everyone out that says something you don't like.

This right here ^^^

SIAP.

The whole incident was terrible but the Boise State player's face going from "uhhh huhhh uhhhh huhhhh" to "duhhh , duhhh, ouch mama" was pretty funny.

Blount ought to be ashamed of himself. He started the trash talk saying BSU needed an ass whoopin. And then when he got trash talked back after receiving his own ass whoopin, he wasnt man enough to ignore it, so he punched a guy, who was not expecting to be punched. Then he acted like a drunken animal. I feel sorry for Wheaton, this makes his team look very bad.

The "trash talking" that Blount did was in the Sports Illustrated article about the Ducks. He was watching the footage of the cheap shots BSU made in their first game against Oregon when they injured Masoli. While watching that footage with the SI journalist, Blount said, "We owe that team an ass whoopin'"

A few days later, before the BSU game we all watched, Blount apologized for that statement and said that it just came out wrong because he was worked up by the late hit footage.

I think the poor play on the field made my team look bad. I have more mixed feelings about the Blount aspect.

I wonder what Wheaton's spin on this would be? Hope JaWuan was watching.

Hout started a fight (whether it should have in his opinion or not). And Blount ended it.

Blount hit his team-mates helmet, as players do in altercations at practice on a regular basis. If players don't get suspended for this in practice, they shouldn't in other contexts.

The BSU fans that Blount rushed at were calling him racist names, etc. One of them hit Blount in the face while he was being held by someone. I don't know about anyone else. But, if I saw a mob of people jeering at someone the way the BSU fans were on the street and that person turned around and beat some of them up, I would say that they asked for and deserved it. Sackless cowards who jeer maliciously in players faces because they know that someone will protect them make me sick. I feel the same way about Duck fans that act that way (and I've definitely seen some of them).

I think that Blount should have taken the high road and walked away from it. Since he didn't, he needed to be punished in order to enforce the highest standard of behavior possible. An indefinite suspension, season-long if he didn't jump through every hoop, would have been appropriate imo. Season long without the ability to earn his way back onto the field was an injustice.
