This pic doesn't show the whole incident, but I like watching the knockdown just the same. First off. This was no sucker punch, Blount swung as soon as that guy pushed him. If he didn't see it coming it was that guy's fault for taking his eyes off him, and he had to have expected some kind of reaction.
Personally, I felt like he had it coming. Now, that doesn't mean I think Blount should have done it. But, when the other team is walking off the field, you don't go push them. He taunted Blount and pushed him. Taunting is Bush, but no big deal. Put your hands on a player walking off the field and you are asking for trouble. If it was high school and you are doing that, you know you are starting a fight. In college, most people know there is too much on the line, too big of a spotlight, and most players simply aren't going to react back. Too bad for Chuckles McGlassJaw that Blount isn't nearly bright enough to act like that.
It is weak though, IMO, that Blount's done for the year and Boise State isn't going to punish their boy at all, other than "a private talking to". Hell, at least sit him for a series...pretend you care.
So, farewell to Blount. Sometimes all you can do is laugh about these things, and watching that guy go down is nothing if not funny.
