In 2009, Oregon’s LeGarrette Blount was set to take the stage at running back for the Ducks and was predicted by experts to be a 2nd, or at worst, a 3rd round draft pick in the 2010 NFL draft. Obviously, all that was struck down after Blount sucker punched a Boise State player in the Ducks’ opening game of the 2009 season. Blount was immediately suspended from the team and did not return until late in the season and only on...
The mighty Ducks personnel cannot just accept the fact that Ohio State totally dominated the Ducks in the Rose Bowl. The Ducks’ offensive coordinator, Mark Helfrich, is suggesting that some of the team’s signals were compromised during “The Granddaddy of Them All.” Rather than taking the 26-17 defeat like a man, in true American fashion, Helfrich is blaming someone else for his offense’s poor performance (Masoli only completed 9 out of 20 passes for 81 yards, 0 TDs and 1 INT)....
This may come to you as a shock, but the Pac-10 commissioner, Larry Scott, has just approved the request to reinstate Oregon’s LeGarrette Blount. After an immediate suspension following the Boise State punch heard around the (college football) world, Scott believes Blount has paid dearly for his actions and is now cleared to play to salvage any hopes of entering the NFL. I am “convinced LeGarrette Blount paid a significant and appropriate price for the mistakes he made on the...
Chip Kelly is still mum on the reinstatement of Oregon’s LeGarrette Blount. As you recall, Blount in an act of stupidity and cowardliness, was suspended on opening night after sucker punching Boise State’s DE Byron Hout. Initially, Blount received a season long suspensions, but now that Oregon is starting to gel and is inching its way towards a BCS birth, Kelly is rethinking the severity of the suspension. The reality of the situation is quite simple, if Oregon was...
So here it is, Blount’s official apology: By LeGarrette Blount | University running back Though the incident at Boise State happened before the start of classes, there probably are few members of our University community who are unaware of the images and media reports of my regrettable actions following the Oregon-Boise State football game. There is no justification for my behavior — not the “heat of the moment,” not the “agony of defeat,” and definitely not anything said or...
The Matador is a bit perplexed why the media is all over the Michigan punch. If you haven’t seen the video yet, please watch. I’m positive you will not see any punch at first glance. The media is trying to hype this up as the second coming of the Blount Punch. The Matador is trying to cool it down. Rodriguez’s comment on Jonas Mouton’s alleged punch was quite simple, basically he didn’t see LB Mouton punch ND’s Eric Olsen. In...
LeGarrette Blount provided the only punch in a game Oregon will never want to talk about or remember. In an act of uncontrollable rage and cowardliness, Blount sucker punched Boise State’s Byron Hout as the clock expired on an 8-19 losing effort for the Ducks. Before kick-off, Blount was jawing at the mouth in the locker room saying Boise State deserves an ass whooping. After Blount’s lack of talent was exposed throughout the game, he decided to deliver his own...
