Boise State game...and punch

I completely agree.

Much like the NC State-South Carolina game, the execution by each team was absolutely horrendous. I think Oregon was three and out there first three or four possessions.

Boise State should have won by a lot more, I'm hoping the pollsters take that in to account when they look back on their only big win of the season.

Seriously, what do you do with people like Blount? I mean, he is a menace to society. Can you imagine him in an office?

"Hey LaGarrett, I need you to get me those TPS reports."

"Hey boss, f*** you." :::punch, kick, shoot:::

Lock him up and throw away the key.

Send him to war. He obviously likes to fight.

Make a man of him.

Its not as bad as the coach doing it, a la Woody Hayes.

2) The punch. What an ugly way to end the first game of the season. He should be suspended indefinitely.

I agree. What a turd. Mom must be proud

Everyone has to remember that this is game one. Are you peaking for the first race of the year? sloppy football will be played pretty much all weekend.

Im hoping Tulsa and Fresno State have good years so when Boise beats them it will look better.

Also, was it me or did the Boise players almost seem invisible against the turf backdrop? They seemed to blend in more than in games past. Would that have screwed up Oregon?

I realize you're making a joke, but just to be technical, in hockey it is expected and both parties know it's coming...kind of fair in that way. In the case last night, the Blount clown just sucker punched the dude. Only losers do a sucker punch.

Boise State is a good football team, and they're going to screw up the BCS pageantry. Of course, the BCS rarely, if ever, pits the two best teams against one another at the end of the year anyway.

Did you see the whole video.

The Boise kid put his hands on him first and said something to him. And then turned his back, Moron.

I agree Blount should've kept his cool, but to see everyone falling over themselves as if he pulled a gun, is well, funny.

If you push an opponent after a tough loss, still ramped up from the heat of battle, you had better be ready.

Where Blount comes from, "quick reactionary aggression" is probably a way of life and survival.

Watch the whole video, the kid walks past Blount, gives him a shove and says something. What did he expect?

And sucker punches happen all the time in Hockey.

1) Saw the whole video.

2) What the Boise State kid did was not honorable but not enough to warrant a sucker punch. As far as what he expected, since this kind of thing rarely happens in college football, I'm pretty sure he didn't expect to get sucker punched. Blount SHOULD have a the MOST given the kid a shove back. He did that and maybe he would have had to sit out a game (maybe not even that), but now, it's doubtful he'll play another game. The dude who loses his temper ALWAYS loses. Blount is a loser.

3) I don't give a crap where Blount comes from. He's NOW a PRIVILEGED college football player (well, maybe not anymore), and that kind of thing is seriously bad sportsmanship and just flat out lame. NO excuses about where he comes from. What a BS argument.

4) Sucker punches in hockey do happen, but mostly not, and even when they do happen, fighting is part of the culture, and you had ALWAYS better be prepared for someone to throw a punch at you. This is not part of the culture in football at any level and why it is so much worse (though I will admit that the fighting in hockey is lame; lame tradition).

ya'll are racist. that white boy got what he deserved. You disrespect, you gonna pay. The last 200 years the black amn has been beaten like dogs, now yall cryin over this?

If Boise State actually believes there as good as certain individuals on here, they should do what Archie Griffin did: Call up USC and schedule a game. USC would probably enjoy playing them.

Or does BSU not believe they're as good as Virginia, VT, Idaho, San Jose State?

Went to bed before the game ended. Saw a prolonged clip this morning. A few observations:

1) The Boise coach, Petersen, was getting to his player to pull him away. It was obvious the coach was not happy with the taunting. I would not be surprised if the player suffers repercussions.

2) Blount had been talking trash before the game. To me, if you talk trash and lose, you had better be willing to eat crow and not punch the fellow.

3) Blount then almost gets into a fight with his own teammate!

4) I predict an indefinite suspension. I believe he has been in trouble before.

5) Not sure they deserve to be in the title game, but they would deserve a BCS bowl. For all those who write that they need to play a tougher schedule, it takes 2 to schedule such things. Hats off to Oregon for being willing to do a home and home. Most big time programs might do a 2 for 1 deal or a 1 and none deal. Maybe BSU has been calling and no coach wants to schedule them. The past few years they have been playing at least 1 AQ team (UGA a few years ago comes to mind--UGA drilled them BTW).

6) Oregon had better get its act together; I heard a few saying they were the sleeper team in the PAC-10. That offense (Kelly is supposed to be an offensive genius, right?) was a sleeper alright. If Oregon is a sleeper to win the Pac-10, the conference is weaker than I imagined--that is saying a lot since I think it is pretty weak.

As a Duck alumn, I was disappointed with last nights outcome, both in the game and after. Blount looked fat and slow all night which just fueled his frustration. That final 19-8 score was closer than it should have been (40-8 would have closer resembled how close this game really was). The Ducks got a beating and Blount acted like a child. The Boise player that was taunting him is classless, but a mature individual would have risen above that (at least to the point that he would not feel the need to cold cock the dude in the chin). The rage continued for the next five minutes, all in plain sight of a national audience. As a Duck supporter, I say suspend him indefinately. Let him practice with no real motivation. If he can practice well for the next month and show some maturity, then maybe, just maybe, reinstate him for the second half of the season. If not, he's gone. I don't want a punk like that representing my University if he unless he grows up real quick.

watch the video again.

The loudmouth from BS trots past Blount. Blount is not even looking at him. The BS Loudmouth gives him a shove and some lip.

He deserves to get smacked for not knowing what to expect or how to fight.

If the BS kid walks off the field with class none of this happens.

There is so much double standarding among you sport fans. It's quite entertaining.

Pray tell, who would you have paired over the past 7 years? Keep in mind, you have to take into account the season and not the final game.

USC-Texas was pretty spot on.

You recruit poor kids from tough areas, get them all ramped up, put them in pressure situations, set them loose on each other, and then you expect alter boy behavior?

I hope all you shocked sports fans are not so black and white in your real lives or business.
