Oregon's decision to suspend RB LeGarrette Blount was correct. There is no excuse for this type of sportsmanship.

Blount was suspended for all remaining games on Friday for punching Boise State defensive end Byron Hout in the jaw following the 16th-ranked Ducks' 19-8 loss to the 14th-ranked Broncos the night before. Because he is a senior, Blount's playing days in Eugene are over.

However, Byron Hout should not have touched or taunted Blount. Being hit in the jaw is not equal in terms of the taunts but I do not feel bad for Hout. If you talk trash to a player, you better be ready to back it up. Hout got knocked to his knees because he wrote a check his ass couldn't cash! Celebrate with your team, enjoy the victory, go to the locker room. Again, there is no room for this type of sportsmanship but Hout should be suspended for at minimum a game! Word of advise for Hout, if you are going to talk trash, be prepared to back it up!
