I hope so too. A lot of this came down because of the cheap headshots a couple of Boise players leveled against a couple of Oregon players last year.
If there was anything good that came from all this, it's now about football at Oregon instead of getting their licks in and getting even. It should NEVER have been a cause for any kind of retribution to begin with. Revenge is a dish best served on the final scoreboard, but it didn't play out that way. I think the cheap shots took precidence over just a simple case of avenging last season's loss. That's very bad for the heart.
In my own defense, I never heard a word out of Blount's mouth this past week before the game. Had I known how he was stirring the pot, I most certainly would have tried to middle the game and split my wager. Mouthing off NEVER helps a team win a game. If anything, it serves to motivate their opponent. That was a stupid thing that he did, not just the sucker punch, but his mouth and his attitude stunk up his team.
