Blount

Hey, LeGarrette, come up and play for the Vikings this season, sir.

Glanville would never allow this to happen even if Blount wanted to come.

Hope this was from the heart:
Oregon RB Blount Apologizes To Boise State

http://www.kptv.com/sports/20764139/detail.html

BOISE, Idaho -- Oregon running back LeGarrette Blount has called Boise State defensive end Byron Hout and coach Chris Petersen to apologize for the punch he threw following Thursday's game between the two teams.

Blount and Ducks coach Chip Kelly made the conciliatory phone call on Saturday. A spokesman for Oregon confirmed it took place, but would not discuss what was said.

Blount punched Hout in the jaw following the 16th-ranked Ducks' 19-8 loss to the 14th-ranked Broncos on Thursday night. Hout was knocked to his knees.

On Friday, Kelly suspended Blount for the rest of the season, effectively ending his career at Oregon

So theoretically, could he ask for permission to leave the UO program and drop down to a FCS program?

I wouldn't want him here, but I'm just curious as to what is possible. Staying at UO and being suspended burns his final year.
 
C'mon...what is wrong with you people?
A win is a win.
He would run all over the Big Sky.
The over-reaction to this incident is beyond me.
Suspended for the season?!?

I agree that his suspension may be a little extreme, but it is what it is, as is the negative perception he now has nationwide. I would not want that perception to be attached to my alma mater in any way, even if he meant a guaranteed trip to the playoffs (which he wouldn't because he wouldn't have a position in our offense).
