The Shot Heard 'Round the (Sporting) World




University of Oregon (Ducks) football star, Lagarette Blount, threw this punch (and the tirade following) and in doing so...ended his college career as he was suspended. Lost on ESPN coverage was the audio that picked up the coach in the white shirt yelling: "Duck!" to his Boise State player as the sucker punch was being delivered. Naturally the BSU linebacker didn't flinch...because he knew that the player coming to "shake his hand" was a DUCK

The Ducks are famous for the number of uniform combinations...thanks to their benefactor, Phil Knight at Nike. The new jersy pictured above is known as the"Blount Jacket" Its' wearer doesn't carry the ball...but is used solely for STRAIGHT ahead blocking and post-game festivities.
