You stay classy Oregon

Was he provoked? Does it matter? And why the hell go after the fans?



This ugly moment at the end of an ugly game by Oregon pretty much sums up the night for them. They got in some meaningless punches, but ultimately lost where it counted.

LaGarrette Blount should be kicked off the team, or given a full-year suspension at minimum. Possibly some anger management classes? Even if he was 'provoked' by the Boise St. player you still have to be mature enough not to sock a guy in the grill when television cameras are rolling. Whatever he said, the Boise St. player didn't throw a punch. The way he was smiling and the coach was there you have to think that words were exchanged by both players.

Not that it will matter. Ducks fans will defend it, and Boise St. players will act as if its the greatest affront to sportsmanship in like....ever. It wasn't, of course, but it was a punk move by a punk young man who needs to grow up.


And yes, I'm speaking of both the puncher and the punchee. Winning with class is just important as losing with class.
