I didn't see the game Richard but I saw the score at the end ;). Looks like I gotta find highlights!
Does the Boise State field make it hard to watch the game?Quote:

I knew you'd torture me with the final score, congrats!:D
The Boise State players were wearing blue, and I thought it was difficult figuring which blue blob was field and which was player :)Quote:

It's always 'good game'-not "nice try", "next time" or "kicked your arse".
The beginning of the tape I saw showed the punched player slapping Blount on the shoulder pad-not as a gesture to fight, but like 'Hey, way to go"
Only god knows what was said.:eek:
--------------
For this weekend in college FB some coalition/group asked all the games to start with a midfield handshake with both teams participating.
Some college nixed the idea due to the fact that they were afraid of a fight breaking out.
So much for sportsmanship!:(
Being from Eugene I will admit that some people need to get a grip...You should see the insanity that breaks out around here during home games! :rolleyes: For such a small town the fan (and player) idiocy tends to run high. Last football season, I had the misfortune of living in a rental that also had nightly hotel rooms. I am glad I worked graveyards at the time lol!
This year, my apartment is very far away. However, there are a lot of students of the U of O living in the neighborhood so I think I'll chain my car to my porch just to be safe...lol
And to what will you secure your porch :DQuote:

Good! Im glad to see his behavior punished. Being unsportsman like drags the game down for everyone.Quote:

The guy who 'started' the fight by being unsportsmanlike, wasn't touched.
In the tape you see him tap the Blount on the shoulder pads after he says something to him, then the coach grabs him to pull him away......that's when he took the lick.
The old football adage allpies here.
The ref never sees the first penalty-he only catches the the fight after.
Both bobos should be suspended.
I saw the film from the beginning, Richard. I'm quite certain the Boise St. player didn't say anything sweet and light. But that is no excuse for a slug to the jaw.Quote:

Don't want players from the other team getting in your face after the game?
Don't act like an idiot before the game.
That's why god invented football helmets.:eek::confused:Quote:

the best thing to do is keep your mouth shut-you don't say ANYTHING to anyone except shake a hand or say "Good Game".
There is no excuse for clocking anyone for something stupid, but you cannot and should not rub anyone's nose into anything after a loss.
Think of it this way...
The guy that got clocked will be the butt of jokes for a while. People will ask hiw what he said to get the other player ticked off, they all will laugh about it and maybe it will be a lesson every time he tells the story.
His penance will be the clip of him getting clipped and almost going down.
But, he dodged a bullet by not being suspended.
----------------------
You would be amazed at what happens during a play.
It's not a place for manners and well wishes.
There aren't many rules about smack talking and showing people up-disgression is the better part of valor - and keep your chin strap buckled if you plan on talking shiat after the game.:D
I didn't hear that part of the story!Quote:

That is what is called blackboard smack.
The coaches will clip or print out stories from the media-such as interviews or quotes from the opposing players- and tape them to the blackboard for the team to read.
When they walk out onto the field on game day half the team is looking for your jersey number and most of them will have trace amounts of your DNA slathered all over their jerseys after the game.:eek:
