WarTiger 3,901 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Blount is his last name.. He just sucker punched a boise state player after the game. Caught on ESPN cameras and actually had to be restrained by police and forced off the field. He tried to go after fans when he was restrained by security and one of his coaches. This kid needs to be DONE with football. There is no excuse for that kind of behavior. If he isn't at least suspended for a few games, I'll be shocked. Reprehensible behavior.

Auburn85 432 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Agreed As the game ended and both sidelines went onto the field, looked like a couple of Oregon players were shoving each other. Not good for Oregon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UA-CT 1 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 It looked as though the Boise State player said something to him after the game, but still no excuse for his actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obike 1 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Link to video. Byron Hout started it by tapping LeGarrette Blount shoulder pads and yelling something at him. That followed by Blount laying Hout out. Still not excusable. He should be done with football for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnu008 4 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 He is the same guy who was quoted in the news last week that they were in for an a$$ whippin. He had 5 carries for -8 yards and was tackled for a safety! HAHAHA Yea, nice whipping you put on them bud! What a piece of trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgufcm 4,096 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Well, in his defense, he DID deliver on his promise in a way. He put an a$$ whipping on Hout. I don't know that he's done for the year. That seems extreme to me. If it were in game, he'd just get ejected and be back at practice on Monday. It is different after the game is over, but an 11 or 12 game suspension seems harsh. My guess is he gets 6 or 7 unless Chip Kelly (a first year head coach) feels the need to prove a point.

Don't be so sure. They operate differently in the PAC-10. My guess is that the suspension will be surprisingly short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoAU 1,600 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 LeGarrette Blount plays punch and run like a sissy after the Boise State game last night. Way to play like a man... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQC4BKi6qwk If this guy played for Auburn, I would accept nothing less than dismissal from the team.

autigeremt 6,606 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 HE should be shown the bars! This was not a part of the game itself, therefore he should be brought up on charges and locked up!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanTiger 20,479 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 He'll probably only get suspended for a few games, but I'd kick him off the team. No excuse for that sort of behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven_tiger 5 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Blount was slapped on the shoulder pads and taunted, then he turned and blasted the BSU player. I don't condone the behavior but how many times have you seen taunting fans/players get blasted in the grill and then cry foul? I didn't see Blount run either. I think he was ready to square up with anyone in blue. Emotions are a little raw after a defeat, you taunt, you get blasted...learn a life lesson on both sides. Indefinite suspension...6 games maybe. The kids learn their lessons and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoAU 1,600 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Trash talk always happens, and typically guys like Blount are also usually the first to dish it out.

au2004ece 30 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Looks like the police did take him out. That's why he was struggling so much there. He got a pretty good blow in, the BSU guy just fell backwards. Blount was the guy saying they were going to give BSU an "ass whooping" because they owed it to them from last year. So, he was probably getting taunted for having made that statement. Seems like he deserved the taunting to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autigeremt 6,606 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I don't care what happened......Blount reacted in a way that should have landed him in jail. He was not assualted, and he was not having to defend himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyTiger 3 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I'm not trying to defend Blount, but the BSU guy looked like he deseved to get a strong blow to the jaw. Blount definitely wasn't running away like a sissy either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESPN Full Take Uh, no - thats why I asked. I saw the whole thing and I'd still boot him. That was hardly a slap...didn't even wrinkle his jersey. And the guy moved on past him. He didn't stay in his face or anything. The punch was over the top. When you add on him smacking one of his own teammates who was trying to be a peacemaker upside the helmet and then scuffling with police and coaches, there's no way I'd let him come back. Not to mention, this isn't his first problem this fall. He was suspended from practicing for a couple of days for being late to team meetings and workouts.

kwagoner 214 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Oregon being my #2 fav, I hate seeing this. A guy that did nothing to contribute to the game was talking crap and got sucker-punched. He should learn his lesson. OTOH, Blount should be out for a 6 game min, and possibly even booted, to learn his lesson (if he'll ever learn). He was sent away from the first practice this year for 'behavioral issues', so this seems to be a common thing for him. Being a new HC, CCK needs to be quick, harsh, and stick with his decsion. It appears that the team is not fully 'together' and a bad apple could make that go downhill FAST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blount definitely wasn't running away like a sissy either. I disagree. A man knows how to control himself and take a loss the right way. That was hardly some horrible instance of taunting. I've seen worse in the middle of a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunInRed 16,407 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Let's put it this way, if that was an AU player, I would expect Chizik to give him the boot. Or at the very least, come down with a heavy hammer. When you wear the Orange and Blue, you represent a lot more than just yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
