Because today was Columbus Day and thus National Holiday, I have decided that last weekend was from Friday Night to Monday Night. And because of this it was the Greatest Sports Weekend Ever.
Let's Start with Friday...
Friday nights sports started at 8 with college football. My alma mater, The University of Utah, went to Louisville to play the Big East powerhouse. Well, they were a powerhouse last year...but that does not matter. The U has been up and down this year and their was NO reason to believe the U would win. BUT, after 3 hours of hard fought football the Utes gave Louisville on the road 44-35! Amazing!
BUT, Friday still had much more to it. At 8:37 the Boston Red Sox started game two ALDS with the Los Angeles Angles of Anaheim. This game was about as exciting as it can get. After about 14 hours of baseball the Sox finally finished off the Angles with a walk-off home run by Manny Ramirez. What a Friday.
Now let us move on to Saturday...
Saturday was all about college football when it came to sports. At 12 my current school, UNC, faced long time powerhouse Miami. There was absolutely NO way the Heels could come out with this win. BUT, in the end they did. A fantastic 33-27 upset.
This had very little to do with me, BUT my mom attended Stanford...so their upset of USC was sweet for her and added to this great weekend.
How about Sunday...
First, the New England Patriots continued their absolute dominance of the rest of the NFL. They did what they do and handled the awful Cleveland Browns 34-17. This was never in doubt and they rolled to 5-0.
Sunday sports belong to my Boston Red Sox. On this day they went for the sweep of the Angels and for most of the game it was close. But the bats woke up in the 7th and the Sox scored 7 runs to put the game away. After Gagne recorded the final out the celebration commenced and the Sox just had to sit a wait to see who their opponent in the ALCS would be.
Monday, oh blessed sports, Monday....
Just a few minutes ago the greatest sports weekend EVER was completed as the New York Yankees were officially knocked out of the FIRST round of the playoffs by the Cleveland Indians. Just knowing that they are out is the perfect ending to a perfect sports weekend.

Woo Hoo. That is all I can say. Woo Hoo.
I love sports. Not to mention, the MNF game was pretty darn exciting too (although I wanted Buffalo to win).
