Maybe Blount will learn not to shoot off his mouth early in the week about handing out some "whoop ass" if he can't back it up. I think he finished with - 5 yards.
What if he called him the N-word....maybe he would have got shot
No. The Boise kid needed to learn a lesson and he did. Blount was dumb for doing it on TV. He is going to have to pay for his mistake now. Who knows what the Boise fans were screaming at him; they don't look like the classiest bunch to me.?! In the end, the Blount kid should have kept his cool, but I'm glad he punched the kid in the face. Blount does need to be suspended for a few games. Also, if one uses "fighting-words" to provoke a punch, well, its just the same to me as throwing a punch-at least to the supreme court, that is the case.
peace and love,
GM

So the answer to "trash talking" is to punch someone out. Don't forget that Blount was talking trash all week. Both players were.
You saying "I'm glad he punched the kid in the face" might be one of the most immature statements I've seen on this forum, and I've seen many of them.
I hope that are not naive enough to think that BOTH players trash talked before, during and after the game. In NO WAY does that make it ok to throw a punch.
I hope you were joking. If not, you also need major help.
And then you sign out "peace and love"?

Oregon suspends Blount for season
EUGENE, Ore. -- Oregon has suspended running back LeGarrette Blount for the remainder of the season for punching Boise State linebacker Byron Hout after Thursday night's loss.
Immediately following Oregon's 19-8 loss at Boise, an ESPN replay of the incident showed Hout taunting Blount as the teams converged onto the field. As a Broncos assistant coach moved to separate Hout from Blount, the Oregon senior threw a right cross that connected with Hout's right jaw. Hout went down and popped right back up.
"Under no circumstance is fighting acceptable," the NCAA said in a statement Friday. "If it occurs before or during a game, the officials enforce the rules. If it occurs after a game, institutions and conferences decide how to address the situation. We trust our members to handle these situations appropriately. Sportsmanship is everyone's responsibility, including student-athletes, coaches, officials, institutions and fans.
In a statement prior to Blount's suspension, Oregon president Richard Lariviere calling the player's behavior "reprehensible."
"We do not and will not tolerate the actions that were taken by our player. Oregon's loyal fans expect and deserve better," Lariviere said. "The University of Oregon Athletics Department is reviewing the situation and will take appropriate action, reflecting the seriousness of the player's behavior."
Boise State spokesman Max Corbet told The Associated Press in an e-mail Friday that head coach Chris Petersen will not suspend Hout. Instead, Petersen will spend time with Hout this week to help him learn from what happened.
