Saturday...
What a great day...
During the summer, Saturday normally serves as a catch-up day.
Being out with friends usually pushes my normal bedtime back by, ooh....about 3 or 4 hours, so...
Saturday is the perfect day to not set the alarm clock
However, in the fall...
Saturday takes on a whole new meaning,
College football
Even though I my head didn't hit the pillow until about 1 o'clock last night, I had no trouble getting up when my alarm clock buzzed at 9:30 this morning. It was game day.
Game 1
Purdue vs. Northwestern
Maybe I'm biased, but... you can't beat the Big Ten
Up until the last couple minutes, Northwestern was giving us all a run for our money...
They even had the lead at half!
I must admit, I was a tad bit frustrated, we're better than that...
(At least our play calling could be a little bit better...)
Anyway, we finally decided to turn it on in the 4th quarter (thanks for the insiparation Neil...)and play like we know how, sealing up the victory at 35-17. It was good quality win, and should give us some momentum going into the last 3 games of the season.
Another note from the game...
I was impressed by Northwestern's second TD...wow
Perfect execution of the hook and ladder...
As a football fan, I had to applaud
Game 2
Florida vs. Georgia
Incredible game
This is why I love college football
The emotion
A bunch of kids playing football for the love of the game...
Not for money,
Not to inflate their ego,
Not to gain celebrity status,
But just because they love the game, and love to compete
College football...
Football in its purest form.

That Purdue game was frustrating until the fourth quarter and we finally settled down and scored some points. But how amazing was that Georgia/Florida game. That is college football at its finest, but maybe I am biased because I just love to see Florida lose because my roommate is a Florida fan.
I was getting nervous during the Northwestern vs Purdue game! The games are amazing. I can go, hang out with my friends, and just enjoy the day! Its always best when we win of course, but even if we lose its still fun to watch the games and see all the people dressed up! Catching the game live is much better than seeing it on TV.
