Sept 1st was a great day in the annals of Boston sports. The Eagles overcame 2 defensive touchdowns as Matt Ryan threw for 5 touchdowns as the Eagles came from behind for a 38-28 victory over the defending Acc champion Demon Decons.

On the other side of town the Red Sox get a no hitter from a rookie pitcher in just his second start. I had to throw that in there since i was thinking of going to the game and buying a single but I was tired from driving all over New England.

As walked onto the Chestnut Hill campus, the fresh air and the blue skies above. What is better than football in September?

As I walked down the 200 steps to Alumni Stadium you could feel the electricity before the start of this nationally televised game on ABC. 42,292 fans filled the stands and they were in for a nail bitter that went down to the wire.

Matt Ryan who put his name into the Heisman watch as he threw for 408 yards and 5 touchdown passes after shaking off an early interception for a touchdown.

The fans around me were great as they were very football savvy, except for the one guy who decided to wear his Michigan t shirt as they lost to Appalachian State in what has to be the greatest college football upset of all time.

I considered going to that game thinking it would be an easy game to get into since the Division IAA National Champions were no match for the Mighty Wolverines. I guess i should go with my gut next time.

I'm not taking away anything from my experience in Boston. So hopefully every time i attend a game the home team wins and sends everyone home happy.

It's funny to see the C-Ya later t shirts commemorating BC's last season in the Big East. I never thought i would be watching ACC football in New England.
I think it's a great fit for the area and next weeks match up might have lost some of it's luster as NC STATE lost to UCF 25-23 as many fans were pointing out the coming home of former BC coach Tom O'brien.

These fans know how to tailgate and they will be doing that 3 hours prior to the game and 2 hour after. Well that's what all the signs on the jumbotron advised.
