Typically there is a bump up at least at the open if not for the whole day on a Monday following a BIG Friday, reason being that many less experienced traders will see Friday and be like "Oh yay, the markets are flying" so they'll put in trades, many of them Market Orders, for Monday, thus allowing market makers an easy spread thus bumping up stock prices, also, it's kinda like a hang over, except that this is a good one, the lag that comes from a big day typically helps the start of the next day, though it is not likely to last for too long.
Just my 2 cents worth :-)
