Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

Great posts guys. The reality is, OUR PROGRAM IS AT STAKE HERE. This is not some small matter. Kelly has no choice.

He should have walked off the field after the game straight into the locker room. He didn't back up his smack talk, and should have taken the loss like a man.

would u snap at fan if they call u f**kin N****?

Let me start by saying that I think LGB is done here, and rightfully so.

However, that kid from Boise was taught a lesson and was clearly antagonizing the whole thing (still need to maintain composure, but others have culpability in this as well). Rob's reporting that Blount said he was pushed by the player and hit by a fan? From the program's standpoint, the silver lining is that the rest of the team didn't go all UFC. My point is don't let Blount become an indictment of the entire team's character.

Which we know for sure is exactly what happened...

The BSU player taunted him then smiled I would have dropped him as well.
But you can't punch your own coaches and players he needs to be dismissed.

Guys we just came pretty close to having the Ron Artest of College Football.

Rephrase please? I didn't understand that at all.

The look on Embry when Blount snapped at him said it all. As a big time athlete he knows he has to ignore all of that crap. Embarrassing to say the least.

This whole situation should be labeled as FUBAR!

I have no idea what to do with Blount but I wouldn't kick him off the team.

Bloody awful situation and game!

Been thinking about this a bit: what's FAIR to Blount and to the team is most important. Not image, not recruiting. But fair. I understand him getting out of a hand and hitting a guy. Bad choice, but understandable. What happened after that is a little harder to sympathize with, no doubt.

Certainly he needs to be suspended for a few weeks. I think he should definitely be forced into some anger-management therapy or something. But give him the chance to earn his way back on the team. After a number of weeks, let his team mates be the judge, let them vote on it.

Bottom line: a coach should care about his players beyond their performance; this kid needs some help, and maybe kicking him off the team isn't the right thing for him, or for the team. If it is, fine. But image should not be the issue here. The issue is doing the right thing. No reason to be hasty.

Watch the video. Dude in the white hat with sunglasses on the brim. Points at LGB and then seems to say exactly what is being accused. Real Classy.

Lots of things wrong here, LGB, crowd control, the Boise player.....

what im saying is I would snap at fan for calling me F***** N*****. I see no point to sucker punch, get little physical with your own coach and teammate for trying to pull u back.

I imagine we will get a better idea of everything that happened in the next few days. He should definitely be suspended. Beyond that, I really don't know right now.
