Football Returns, the 2011 Opening Weekend

            It didn’t take much for Stanley and I to get excited for the opening college football season. Our whole weekend consisted of watching football games and eating cheese.

         Friday night after the Shoremen victory over the Raiders of Shaker Heights, Stanley decided to rest and watch some football. #14 TCU was playing Baylor, a team that you would expect TCU to beat. But, Baylor came out on fire and ended up beating TCU 50-46. Stanley and I looked deep into each other’s eyes and were awestruck by the first game we watched of the 2011 college football season.

                 Saturday afternoon began with a late breakfast and a quick run through the metro parks, Stanley “the babe magnet” Doogers, got every hot woman’s attention when he was running through the park with his well-groomed fur coat and his puppy dog brown eyes. He’s always fun to take running in the metro parks. Once we got home we watched some more football. Notre Dame was playing South Florida, where Lou Holtz’s (a famous Notre Dame Coach) son was playing his dad’s Alma matter. This game was thrilling due to the fact that Notre Dame had twice as many yards as South Florida but with 5 turnovers, quite depressing.  

                That night Stanley and I made marshmallows around the fire and had a 6-pack of soda while the game of the week came on: Oregon vs. LSU in Dallas TX. This game was packed with entertainment as LSU ended up winning 40-27. Stanley wanted Oregon to win while LSU was my favorite team this year, so we had our own little fights during the game.

                             Next weekend Stanley and I will probably be following the same schedule but this time watching games such as Georgia vs. South Carolina and Notre Dame at Michigan!
