Johnny had 29 spooks, ghouls and Groots at his place tonight and hey, MUCH respect to the kids (and parents) to went out in the snow, some of it heavy and the sleet before that. Some places rescheduled Halloween, not Oscoda.
A full slate on the Oscoda home football game tomorrow for their game tomorrow night. We're all about 'dem Owls.

You can't have a proper Halloween with the 'Monster Mash'
You can't...

A favorite tradition on Halloween, The Flametrick Subs & Satan's Cheerleaders
With their standard and oh so perfect for Halloween song, 'Creepy Dead Folk'
Johnny is well prepared for the kids of Oscoda
This is Johnny's first Halloween in Oscoda and in fact, this will be, by far the most kids he's ever had show up to claim their tasty bounty. He and Mrs. Johnny had say 6-7 kids in their Jersey City condo who'd come around the building but nothing like Johnny will get tonight.
If only the weather were better. That does suck.

The Saturday Night Scoreboard Show, it's like an early hangover for losing teams...
Michigan 45
Notre Dame 14
At least the Irish players, fans and vehicles got a free bath out of the trip
Kansas State 48
Oklahoma 41
Sorry Ruprecht, Oklahoma just didn't have it today
Ohio State 38
Wisconsin 7
Two weeks ago both teams looked unbeatable. Two weeks hence and they're not jumping up jumping up and getting down as well as they were in Madison
LSU 23
Auburn 20
Johnny picked the Tigers in his pre-game radio show and darned if he wasn't right
Oklahoma State 34
Iowa State 27
OK, who let Iowa State have a sniff of success? You know what happens when they get that whiff
Rutgers 44
Liberty 34
Fire up the band, Rutgers won a football game!
Wofford 35
Chattanooga 34 OT
Extra points in overtime, they matter
Minnesota 52
Maryland 10
Undefeated Minnesota is 8-0 and now look like the prohibitive favorites to represent the Big Ten West in the title game
Alabama A&M 43
Alabama State 41 3OT
Again, extra points matter in overtime
The Oscoda City Desk Game of the Week®
Lehigh 27
Georgetown 24
Lehigh mounted a fantastic last minute drive to get into field goal range after Georgetown tied the game on a 72 yard pass play late. Austin Henning got power up and kicked a 27 yard field goal as Lehigh celebrates their fourth straight win. For his efforts, Austin Henning may loot and pillage Bethlehem Pennsylvania for the next 24 hours.

Oscoda's football team finished up 8-1 after a 40-0 win tonight over Gladstone. The Owls will find out their first-round playoff opponent Sunday night. It should be a home game. No way MHSAA can screw that up (well there is but let's hope not).

If you'll allow Johnny to play a song very close to his heart and indulge himself for a bit tonight he'd sure appreciate it. Tomorrow would have been his 34th anniversary with Mrs. Johnny and this was our song. We were always under the impression we had the best song.

Oregon 35
Washington 31
Does Oregon even have school colors at this point? Anyone see the moon man costumes out there today? Pick something, you've had years and over 846 combinations to try on
Illinois 24
Wisconsin 23
Eastern Michigan > Illinois > Wisconsin ergo EMU will probably play Ohio State in the Big Ten title game. Speaking of which...
Eastern Michigan 34
Western Michigan 27
EMU's Preston Hutchinson, have yourself a game: 31-36 for 357 yards and 3 TD's as the Broncos tuck tail and head back to the boring end of I-94
Wyoming 23
New Mexico 10
We always run at least one Wyoming score a season, why not a win, Go Cowboys
Georgia Southern 30
Coastal Carolina 27 3OT
Even when Coastal Carolina loses, they still have an awesome nickname, The Chanticleers. That counts for something
Lehigh 30
Fordham 27 OT
After Fordham kicked a FG to start OT the Mountain Hawks got power up and scored a winning TD for Bethlehem PA and country
Oregon State 21
Cal 17
Beavers beat brutal bumbling Bears in Berkeley
Wake Forest 22
Florida State 20
The 6-1 Demon Deacons kicked a late field goal to get power up and win and the party in Winston-Salem shows no sign of slowing

Cameron Dicker's field goal at the death saved Texas, 23 point favorites, from certain ridicule on this very website

Fresh Funk, Pure Jams. If you can get any more funky in two and a half minutes you let us know. The Grunt (Part 1) gets us started the right way tonight.
Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with BOB MARLEY & THE WAILERS!
Have you ever known Bob Marley and the Wailers not to be the right choice? There you go. 'Get Up, Stand Up' making your ears so happy tonight.
Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with GORILLAZ!
This is exceptional. You have Gorillaz at the top of their game for the AOL Sessions they were recording for. Then, if you want to make things much, much, better add Clash members Mick Jones on lead guitar (who announces his presence with authority at about 2:30) and Paul Simonon on bass and you get to exceptional. A great song made so much better.
Sonic heaven. 'Glitter Freeze' getting you off to your party or simply dancing around your living room.

Oscoda football has improved to 7-0 on the season with a sharp 28-7 victory over Whittemore-Prescott tonight in the rain. The sky is the limit with this team!
On a sadder note there will be no Saturday Night Scoreboard Show tomorrow as Johnny will be down in Detroit taking in Little Caesars Arena for the first time as the Red Wings take on the Maple Loafs on Hockey Night in Canada. Of course tomorrow will have all the upsets and and overtime games but that's life.

Michigan 10
Iowa 3
You know how in hockey a team can get outplayed overall but the goalie plays so well he steals a game? Send out the arrest warrants for the Michigan D because they robbed Iowa
Wisconsin 48
Kent State 0
Johnny likes Wisconsin's chances in the MAC this season. They'll probably make the title game where they'll play...
Notre Dame 52
Bowling Green 0
It's October, what are you big teams doing playing MAC schools at this point?
SMU 43
Tulsa 37 3OT
SMU won even after gifting Tulsa this sweet as hell touchdown. Johnny thought they'd found tape of his high school days returning kicks. Johnny also is a fortune teller ya know. He looked into his crystal ball and sees laps, lots and lots of laps for the SMU kick return team at practice Monday
Ohio State 34
Michigan State 10
Think about it, MSU has a pretty stout first-class defense. If Ohio State can run over, on, and around it for 3 quarters like the dead overran Winterfell, what chance does your team have?
UTSA 26
UTEP 16
Every so often you have to put up a score that looks like an eye test
Tulane 42
Army 33
It's eerie really, Johnny buys a small college shirt and that college goes on a winning rampage (see Wofford, Furman, Florida Gulf Coast, Lehigh, all have enjoyed the magic at some point)

Tawas City has now been renamed South Oscoda City and East Tawas is now East South Oscoda. Tawas Bay is Owl Bay for the next year anyway as Oscoda marched down to the town formerly known as Tawas City and whupped 'em good, 28-7. That Owl defense was real good. 6-0 for the Oscoda Eleven and cruising. Here's to more winning!

Know who's good? Paul Simon. That's right. Know what else is good? The song ''Kodachrome'
See this, you kids have no good idea what the fuckity fuck this even is. It's called a flash cube or a flash bulb. It caused blindness for five or so minutes if you looked at it but in the 60's and 70's pictures were impossible without them. More than likely the mind-wiping special effect in Men In Black was probably just one of these going off.
