BLOUNT FALCON PUNCHES WAY BACK INTO YOUR HEART

This might be brilliant, in an evil-genius sort of way. I always thought the problem with Oregon reinstating Blount was that it would undermine the love/adulation the media threw the Ducks way after the USC win. But NOW, with everyone talking about the loss to Stanford, they can sneak him back in and it doesn’t reek so obviously of the Osbourne-Phillips syndrome.

One of your best Freak. I am now going to shout ‘Falcon Punch!’ whenever I make a good point in a meeting for the rest of the week.

hilarious.

HoyaGoon;
You’re overanalyzing it way too much. The plan was always to bring him back for Arizona State…. No way Oregon would have brought him back anywhere but at Autzen, especially considering that last weekend the Stanford Band’s halftime show’s sole focus was Blount.

All this overanalysis on the issue (OMG Oregon is bringing him back because they need to win their last 3 games!) is hilarious. It really is a person decision, not a football decision. Oregon doesn’t need Blount, James and Barner are far superior backs for Oregon’s offense. Blount will enter the game this Saturday against ASU 3rd on the depth chart, and I’d be very surprised if he got more than a couple carries (unless it’s an absolute rout and he plays in garbage time). People acting like he’s gonna swoop in and save Oregon’s offense (as if Oregon’s offense really needs saving…Unless Blount can play DT, Oregon doesn’t need any help) have no clue about the situation

Stanford’s halftime show was about Blount? I’m intrigued by your ideas, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Why not? That way he served an eight game suspension for throwing a post-game sucker punch at an opposing player who had his helmet off.

It’s not like he intentionally tried to gouge the guy’s eye out on the field of play or anything.

(tongue firmly in cheek)

Be careful we never clone Blount and pit him against himself. The consequences could be dire:

Bet no one talks sh!t to him after the game any more.

The fact that he charged after a bunch of fans in addition to the suckerpunch also played into the length of his suspension, as well.

Well, that and the fact that he’s the third best RB on the team. It’s becoming obvious someone had the feeling Oregon could survive without him. AND LOOK! THEY DID!

Has anyone hooked Blount up with the NM soccer chick yet? Because that would be the most awesomeness relationship ever. I cant imagine either would ever escalate a siutation out of control.

Sims,

No, I’ve heard of them (one of my faves is them doing “White punks on dope” by The Tubes….God I’m old…), I just didn’t hear of this particular escapade.

Oh well, I’ll go look it up myself.

Craziest.

Stanford’s halftime shows are always somewhat or a farce. They always tend to pick something topical to make fun of the opposing team about. I remember – think it was ’99 – up in Palo Alto when the Trees played the Bruins, and the band announcer kept talking about “providing sign-language cues for the fans” and every formation the band ended up doing was in the shape of a handicapped parking placard.

This was, of course – the same year that DeShaun Foster and Cade McNown and a number of other Bruins had been busted for illgeally obtaining handicapped parking placards.

So yeah, Stanford’s halftime shows are always like that..

Anyone have a video link? Here’s all I could find:

The Stanford band, which is known for its unconventional routines, made Oregon and LeGarrette Blount the focus of its halftime performance.

The band’s announcer used the word "blunt" several times. Band members formed a fist, then "U of O," followed by "U of OW."

Oh, the stories I could tell about Stanford Band’s escapades, they are legendary amongst the band geek community – like the time they played ND, and dressed up like priests and nuns, drumline playing with crucifixes, doing their tribute to the Irish Potato Famine?

That was epic winfail.

My favorite Stanford band story was when the Cardinal played BYU a few years back….

For every one male band member, there were 8 band members dressed up as females…The 8 females would dance around the one male in groups across the field, performing dutiful acts of servitude.

@16 That was after my time, but I do remember the show that got them banned from ND the first time, in 1991, which also featured a Nun’s habit.

My other favorites of that era was the whole series of Oregon shows before and after that suspension (though I didn’t see the infamous ‘90 show in Autzen) and the one a week or so after the Palo Alto police had received an anonymous tip that someone’s pet black mamba had escaped, which caused something of a panic in town. That show detailed the complicated adventures of the snake (maybe at schools around the Pac-10?) which didn’t make much sense, but built successively to the punchline, “Remember, I’m not just the president, but also a mamba.”

re: #10

Add in Chris Brown singing their wedding song, and it would be perfect.

I think the most daring Stanford halftime show I’ve heard was their formation of a fully-engaged cock-n-balls that thrusted back and forth across the field, culminating in a troupe of white-dressed majorettes/guard members running out of the end.

The administration informed them that they were not to do that show again, so they started the next home game with the same genital formation, with the following announcement over the PA “The administration has informed us that tonight’s planned halftime show is prohibited…so at the last minute, we’re changing it.”

At that moment, two of the performers at opposite ends of the drill ran across the field and took each other’s positions in the form, and the thrusting resumed as planned.

BigHeadZach- now I am laughing at myself. I didnt even know “Falcon Punch” was from a video game (not a gamer). I thought it was a reference to comic book noir.

And like all smarty pants colleges, Rice does the same thing. Who can forget their tribute to d-bag Todd Graham just one short year ago!

OK, I’ll be the guy that adds:

This one time at band camp ….

And I will be the guy that adds:

FAIL. FAILFAILFAILFAILFAIL.

@24:
Nothing says FAIL like trying to play Elgar’s “Pomp and Circumstance” as a third-section clarinetist without a clue in the summer between seventh and eighth grades. It was worse than the first time I tried to take a girl’s bra off on the lawn of our rival high school after a football game. Fumble!
