Floored that guy in a hurry. Shouldn't have went up to him and slapped him on the pads.
Oregon dude should probably be out for a while but Chris Peterson should jump his player's *** too.

the Duck fan that posted the video seems to have enjoyed it, maybe someone should punch him. I'd sure like to know what the guy said when he slapped Blount on the shoulder, must have been something really stupid the way his coach grabbed him.kmp77;2920873 said:[youtube]9g3Sgjt6wKk[/youtube]

Generally, Kelly's players have followed suit and haven't provided too much locker room material for Boise State. Blount, however, was quoted in Sports Illustrated as saying, "We owe that team an ***-whuppin."
"It was just kind of a heat of the moment thing," Blount said of his comment. "We were watching film and looking at the plays where they were taking the cheap shots at (Jeremiah) Masoli and Ed Dickson. I didn't mean for it to come out like that, but when you go back and look at that, all the emotions come out at the same time.
"I don't mind it at all. I'm not going to back down from anybody."
Few players are as excited for the start of game week preparations than Blount, who has endured a difficult offseason.
After being suspended in February, he was reinstated in time for spring workouts only to suffer a foot injury the night before the first practice in April. He also had to deal with several inquiries about gaining too much weight over the offseason, and was kicked out of Oregon's first fall practice by Kelly because of a miscommunication issue.
But all that paled in comparison to the hurt he felt earlier this month with the passing of his great aunt, Lotti Hall, who helped raise him. Blount missed a few practices to be with his family in Florida after her death and said he returned with more focus.
"She was asking for me and I just hated that I wasn't there," Blount said. "I had to go back and pay my respects. Any kind of record I break this year is all going to be dedicated to her. I'm definitely coming in with a more mature mind-set."

If my son ever did that after winning a game and he ended up getting popped as a result, I'd tell him he got what he deserved.
That said, Blount should be kicked off the team for that and for going after the fans and for generally being a nut-case with a 10-cent head.

I was at a 4th grade pee wee football game a couple years back, and a DT just leveled a kid. The DT stood over him, and did the "knife slashing to the neck" thing as he looked down on him.
IMMEDIETELY, the DT's father comes running out of the stand, runs onto the field, ignoring the coaches and refs, yanks his kid by the back of his jersey and literally drags him off the field. It was beautiful.
Kids need to be taught to respect the other teams win, lose, or draw.
