Are we just going to have the most brutal scout-team back ever, or what?
What does it mean that Blount will still "practice"?

Seems it gives LB an opportunity to get/stay in shape, using the Ducks equipment, in hopes that he can "finish" school....and maybe have a shot at redeeming himself for his future endeavers, whatever they might be...
We had one of two options...kick him out and to the curb, or try to help him past/through this unfortunate situation...
Oregon appears to have taken the "Adult stance" and shall continue to mentor LB throughout the balance of the year and fulfill the scholarship agreement that was previously made with him...It seems to be a win/win situation for both sides...
Hopefully help straighten this young man out and keep the Universities legitimacy and morality in tact...
As a parent, I realize that if your child does something wrong, u try to help them through it and direct them appropriately, not kick them out and to the curb...
I didnt feel this way Thursday nite after the incident, but I was pissed at that time and maturity, realism, and reason has since taken over....
This is just my take on it..
