Oregon board is saying he isn't staying with the team tonight as he will be arrested. He deserves it. It's football trash talk happens you can't go and unload on someone. And Blount is the one who said before the game "'we owe them an asswhooping". He then tried to go after some fans and had to be restrained by coaches, players, and police

Blount has been in trouble before, I would look for alot more than a game.

Kinda crazy to see something like that live

He would never play another down on any team I was coaching. Totally out of line and bizarre. No excuses here...thanks for the "after thought" apology...at least that...but adios. Scholly gone too...maybe some other team will let you play for them.....GOODBYE!

Blount is claiming one Oregon fan punched him and another "brandished a chair." Story by Morning News veteran now at ESPN is here.

How did they do that from the stands? Did the puncher have 20 foot arms? Did someone rip a stadium seat out and shake it at him? He is not facing arrest, but the Boise police expect action from the NCAA. The new Pac-10 commissioner was in the audience for the incident. No matter how important Blount is to the Oregon program, they can't sweep this under the rug.

Of course, Blount had eight carries for minus 5 yards and was tackled for a safety, so whatever "star" protection he might have had certainly faded!

No excuse for the kid but it appears the kid he punched might also be in a little trouble. In the video above it appears he's trashing talking and his coach is trying to get him to shut up before he's decked. I think the Boise kid deserves some discipline ... such as a couple hundred yards of up-downs or something similar.

Trash talk happens all over the football field. This is nothing more than the Oregon player letting out his frustration after having a terrible day against a better-than-advertised Boise defense, feeling stupid, and blowing up. Nothing about what he did can be excused.

I agree. The Boise player clearly taunted him and tapped him on the shoulder pad first, then the Boise coach was yanking his attention to tell him to cool it when he is punched. Point is if the Boise player doesn't start it I think this whole mess never happens. Oregon player deserves time off but so does the Boise player.

Boise Player only gave him his own medicine since Blount was talking **** all week prior and then lays an egg, can not take his own medicine and throws a cheap shot like a thug.

Boise player should have been more classy but did not deserve a sucker punch.

And we won't be seeing him again, this season.

After watching the clip a few more times from different angles, I think you've got to suspend Hout for a game as well, for being classless in victory by seeking Blount out and to show your fans and the rest of college football you won't stand for that with your program.

As if the punch wasn't bad enough, the flip-out afterward pretty much showcased Blount's crazy and is probably the reason he's gone for the season as opposed to just a few games.

At work I was mentioning our victory to everyone I encountered. As soon as I mentioned football, everyone asked "Did you see that guy punch the other guy?"

So much for us getting good national publicity for our win.

I got a lot of "sweet!" and "awesome" remarks, without solicitation. I played it cool and said we are merely back where we should be... one of the fewer than 10 undefeated teams in the nation.

ESPN this evening said scouts suggested that, prior to this, he was a third- or fourth-round draft prospect. After the incident, and especially after the season suspension, they're saying he will be undrafted free agent.

If he can play, do you think it matters? They gave Michael Vick a contract. Some people may call it the No Fun League, but it sure as hell has its share of thugs.

Glad this guy is gone for the year. The most disturbing thing about the punch was that he waited until the Boise St. player had been grabbed by his coach and had turned his head. Classless, cowardly conduct. Watch it again. It's not like it was a reaction punch. he waits a good second to a second and a half to throw the punch, waiting for his chance for a cheap shot. What a scared little punk.

So Long, Blount, Burn in.... oh, wait.

If you fast forward 10 years, it's easy to see this guy in a dope motel hitting the pipe.

      Go to YOUTUBE and request Army/UNT highlights. They had them a few hours after the game yesterday. I don't know about the entire game.

      ***OFFICIAL ARMY VS MEAN GREEN IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      The stats with context tell us more. I feel like Army kept the defense on the field on purpose to limit a famously high flying North Texas team. I agree we had turnovers- how effective were they? How many 1st downs did army have in a single drive? Army never turned the ball over on downs with high 3rd down efficiency. We lucked out on the fumble from the RB. How long did it take to get the turnover? How was the field position that the defense earned? Those are better questions. Our defense did a lot and I loved seeing the sack, near fumble (ruled an incompletion), interception, and lack of penalties(that pass interference in the red zone hurt) to deflate their passing game- all 4 attempts. Then, they took us on the ground. Daily slid early to drain more time on a run near the 50. They line up with the same formation for an easy read to gain a yard or two, but, more importantly, the clock starts back up. This was triple option football and I feel like we failed to disrupt their plans. I want us to be better on all sides of the ball. I don’t a moral victory. I want us to acknowledge that Army, just like Tulane 2 weeks ago, used the run effectively against the defense. However, they used it to play at their tempo/style limiting our offense time on the field. I love the heart these players showed. I feel like any one of those teams from Army’s past 13 games are not the caliber we should be proud of being better than (except Coastal and Navy). Watching at army launch the ball vs Temple, Tulsa, & UAB was insane. But Daily is a okay QB that fits the triple option scheme as a runner primarily. Horvath is a miracle for service academy passing. Daily has 51 passing attempts YTD versus Horvath’s monstrous 117 attempts for a service academy. Daily has the same interception rate as Henigan. I’ll see y’all in San Antonio. I’m still excited to see this team play and I know we can win out the season. I just feel like they were par for the course this Army weekend. If anyone complained about the DC all season, this game should not sway someone.
