Dude from Oregon will likely be suspended for quite a while. So much for the pre-game handshake :) . Starting tailback LaGarrette Blount knocks Boise State player out on field after player talks trash and hits Blount on the pads after game, then proceeds to about get in a fight with the Boise St fans going back thru the tunnel...... If you missed it, watch below.

Bull****- a D-end with his helment off says something evil? The guy from Oregon was kept out of his own practices at the start of the season, nothing but trouble. Then he starts yelling back at the fans? How do you know the B-state guy wasn't just saying the Ducks played well and tried to come back? I'd have him put in jail. He had been talking about opening a can of " whoop-a$$" on B-state all week, according to ESPN.Quote:

BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Oregon senior running back LeGarrette Blount talked before the game about keeping emotions in check. Then he lost his own cool after No. 14 Boise State pushed around its big-conference neighbors.....

Blount shouldn't have lost it, but Hout shouldn't have went straight at Blount, like he obviously did, and even if he said nothing out of the way, the way he went right at Blount was enough to light the fuse on a guy that's already ready to blow up anyways.
Hout should have enjoyed the win and celebrated with his teammates, not ran straight at Blount and said something in his face. Blount did talk a bunch of smack before this game, but that doesn't excuse Hout trying to provoke Blount.
Really, what would have hurt Blount more and Hout's glass jaw less, is if Hout would have kept his mouth shut towards Blount and celebrated with his teammates. But he made a dumb move and got KTFO.
I blame both guys just as much as the other. And the Boise fans deserve some blame too--you can see several Boise fans yelling "f*** you" and the like at Blount as he's being restrained by a coach, so he's already out of control--what do you think's gonna be Blount's response to fans trying to egg him on?
spuds I doubt the guy from Boise St was just saying "good game". In another view it shows he was right in his earhole and then slammed down on his shoulder pads...... I am in no way defending what the dude from Oregon did but you got to win with class and lose with class.
Dude from Oregon should have just walked away.......but he didn't
Neither were innocent in this matter but it was a great way to kick off the college season. :D
Part of the game- get his stuff and get off the field. Talking and punching are 2 different things. Remember that when someone hits you. Ya know, just take credit for it yourself and walk off , don't try to hit the guy back. That is real logic.Quote:

And for a guy to kicked off a top 25 team and blow a shot at the pros. I haven't seen anything close enough to hear what was said- I still don't think a guy with his helment off is gonna say much.Quote:

IMO the guy deserved what he got. Appears to me the coach knew Hout was in the wrong as well...
