Labor Day Posbang!
College football is back with a bang! Wasting little time to remind me why I love the sport so much. With many of us having the day off, and with so many great events taking place over the weekend I figured now is as good a time as ever to have a feel-good POSBANG.
What was your most entertaining game of opening weekend?
I'm just happy we can expect our Wolverines to jump in the standings at the expense of #5 LSU (losing 16-13 to the Wisconsin Badgers), and #3 Oklahoma (losing 33-23 to Houston). Many of us were watching Texas vs Notre Dame, and Clemson vs Auburn, which were both nailbiters as well.
What are you cooking/drinking?
We have the barbeque going today. We're planning to cook up some burgers with some mac and cheese and some rolls on the side. Not sure how well mac and burgers go together but I'm willing to find out. I should also have a Two-Hearted Ale sitting no more than five feet away from me at any given time.
Did anybody do anything?
I know Labor Day weekend holds host to many parades and festivals. Did anyone go check out Arts, Beats, and Eats? I know Joan Jett was amongst some of the performers. When I was younger I used to perform at various Labor Day parades as well. Always some fun to go around!
Hope you are all having a relaxing long weekend. Stay safe and GO BLUE!

Visiting the parents, who just got a Big Green Egg. We're tossing on a beer-can chicken and some ribs later on. Going to be a rock solid day.

My favorite game had to have been watching Texas beat ND last night followed by Wisconsin beating LSU.
Woke up this morning to homemade avocado smash toast and poached eggs. Getting ready to cook some ribs on the grill. "Got to say it was a good day!" playing in the background.

what about Michigan beating Hawaii???
September 5th, 2016 at 11:47 AM ^
Congrats on the Egg - one of the best investments anyone will ever make. You will enjoy the heck out of that thing for many many years and many many college football Saturdays.

Here's hoping the Noles whip Hugh Freeze and Ole Miss and send them home with their tails between their legs. I'm all for an SEC-shaming encore this weekend!
September 5th, 2016 at 11:40 AM ^
I should have bought tickets for the Mich-Wisco game. Its like guessing the stock market and not many people thought they would have won. Ticket prices have gone up and it may be a 330 game time.

I don't keep up with the 'Noles too much but dont they have a question mark at QB sort of like how we did? Not sure who they have in line after Everett Golson left.

They're starting a true freshman. Other guy got injured.

Common problem with digging a hole. It's why I keep my hair in a crew cut (helps ease the washing out dirt afterwards).
September 5th, 2016 at 11:43 AM ^
Bloody Mary's, Burton Batons and a long ass honey do list from the old lady followed by fun activities.

T-minus 10 minutes and we are on the road...
September 5th, 2016 at 11:45 AM ^
Not much. A pool party with friends and family. ND-Tex was my favorite game. Wiscy-LSU was ok and but the teams weren't good. Looking forward to FSU game today. Happy Labor day.
September 5th, 2016 at 11:50 AM ^
Happy Labor Day and thanks to all the Moms that went through it....
September 5th, 2016 at 11:52 AM ^
Making chili, drinkin' beer, and savoring the sweet aftertaste of football.
September 5th, 2016 at 11:52 AM ^
Labor at the office. Fall tax season FTW...
September 5th, 2016 at 11:58 AM ^
I enjoyed my Labor Day by waking up with a kidney stone and now waiting in line get prescriptions. So yeah, Toby's life is pretty miserable right now.
September 5th, 2016 at 12:05 PM ^
Is it as bad as they say it is? (Downing a cup or two of water now, just hoping to avoid ever going through that.)
September 5th, 2016 at 12:37 PM ^
also chugs large glass of water
September 5th, 2016 at 12:03 PM ^
Yay No Work!!
September 5th, 2016 at 12:03 PM ^
Probably not a good idea, since I'm not very handy at such things. Plus, I had a really deep sink installed a while ago, and a huge 1.1 hp garbage disposal hanging under it. More than likely will not be able to get under all of that, particularly with my female black lab, Boo, trying to also crawl in and see what's going on.
Not a good sign that I'm already thinking of which plumber to call when I give up on the project. Oh crap, I guess I'll go and give it a whirl.
September 5th, 2016 at 12:07 PM ^
is the next work week is only 4 days.
September 5th, 2016 at 12:14 PM ^
BRAAAAAAAAAAATS
On the grill
September 5th, 2016 at 12:18 PM ^
had a great weekend in Duluth. Saw Glensheen mansion and did some hiking at Gooseberry Falls. Back to the Twin Cities after breakfast and looking forward to Ole Miss vs. FSU tonight.
September 5th, 2016 at 12:19 PM ^
We opted for Mexican food today. Already BBQ'd twice this weekend. Today is margaritas, re-watching the Michigan game and tacos...and hopefully Taco will be back soon.
September 5th, 2016 at 1:25 PM ^
Why do you hate America?
September 5th, 2016 at 12:21 PM ^
and cheese kabobs for the game. I used garlic naan instead of pita bread. The whole family enjoyed it. So, I'm making again for the immediate family today and TAKING A BEER INDUCED NAPPY POO!
September 5th, 2016 at 12:21 PM ^
FYI - Harbaugh is delivering his weekly presser right now, live on BTN. I don't have DVR to provide a proper quote but when addressing Mone and Charlton his words, pauses, and tone seemed to point toward both eventually being back this season but very noncommittal as to when.
September 5th, 2016 at 12:22 PM ^
People on here the ND Texas game was my favorite. Glad Texas won and was really impressed with their FR QB
Grilling steaks tonight and haning a few chores around the house in between reading MGoBlog

now it's just getting sad. MICHIGAN V. HAWAII, PEOPLE! THAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE. WHAT THE HELL.
September 5th, 2016 at 6:17 PM ^
The question was most entertaining. Hawaii was entertaining, as far as blowouts go
September 5th, 2016 at 7:26 PM ^
are blowouts again. Not nail-biters or even worse, upsets....
September 5th, 2016 at 12:24 PM ^
Spending Labor Day riding the Marquette South mountain bike trails! They're badass!

September 5th, 2016 at 1:07 PM ^
I'm at work too. Still, few people are and it is still relaxing compared to the other days.
September 5th, 2016 at 12:44 PM ^
Suck it SEC, Notre Dame, and Sparty. Great weekend of football!
September 5th, 2016 at 12:44 PM ^
Recuperating from a cycling accident I had yesterday. Two broken ribs and slight fracture in pelvis. I am a jackhammer and will be back out there as soon as humanly possible.
