Labor Day Weekend

For me, my Labor Day weekend kicked off on Thursday night.  Thursday night marked the start of the college football season and a quest for a national championship.  The big game of the night was Utah upsetting No. 16 Pittsburgh by a score of 27-24 in overtime.  Hopefully that game is a sign of great things to come for this college football season.  On Friday night I stayed at my buddy's house and we got up at 9:30AM to watch the first week of College Gameday.  The preview show is just as important as the actual games in my opinion.  Me and my friends like to pick the games along with Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit.  With games being played all day long, Saturday was a day of relaxing and just watching the games.  Monday, the actual day of Labor Day, had the most anticipated match up on the college football week one slate.  No. 3 Boise State was taking on No. 10 Virginia Tech in Landover, Maryland.  After Boise State got an early 17 point lead, Virginia Tech roared back to take the lead.  The game was back and forth until Boise State Quarterback and Heisman Trophy candidate Kellen Moore took over.  Moore led a touchdown scoring drive with just over a minute remaining to give the Broncos the lead for good and a 33-30 victory.  Next week there are multiple good games including Ohio State taking on Miami (FL).  Don't forget that the NFL season kicks off Thursday night with a rematch of last years NFC championship game between the New Orleans Saints and Minnesota Vikings.  This weekend should be one to remember now that football is on all day Saturday and Sunday.
