Johnny has been doing some factoring...

Every so often he'd share a post link from the Oscoda City Desk on Twitter, usually on Scoreboard Show and Music Series nights. Johnny left Twitter 3 weeks ago (He just didn't want to associate with a truly awful trashbag of a human being in Space Karen any further) and the numbers have held up quite well. Twitter wasn't amplifying all that much it would seem. Mostly, Johnny feels, it's a testament to the small but obviously loyal readers Johnny has built up through the years.

On we go friends, on we go...

It's the Saturday night Scoreboard Show!

FYI Johnny is getting no NIL money for this every week.

Tulane 35
Navy 0
Our yearly look-see at Tulane. 9-2 and looking strong.

Clemson 24
Pitt 20
The old "Let the QB run 50 yards for the lead TD with a minute and a half left" play wins it for Clemson.

Syracuse 104
Youngstown State 95 2OT
Wait, being told this was a basketball game. Carry on.

Illinois College 96
Beloit College 14
Being told THIS was in fact a football game.

SMU 38
Boston College 28
Wait, SMU is 9-1?

USC 28
Nebraska 20
This would have been one hell of a game in the 1970's.

South Carolina 34
Missouri 30
LaNorris Sellers threw 5 TD's, the last with 15 seconds on the clock for the win.

Rutgers 31
Maryland 17
Rutgers, bowl eligible.

Fort Lewis 9
Again, Johnny checks ALL the scores of the day.

The Oscoda City Desk Game of the Week®
Central Connecticut State 35 2OT
Robert Morris 33
Isaac Boston was one prepared CCSU player. In the second overtime he caught a two-point conversion that had bounced off of one of his own linemen's helmets securing the victory. For his alertness Isaac Boston may loot and pillage New Britain Connecticut for the next 24 hours.

Late night open thread

Time for Oscoda, After Dark


Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with DIGITAL UNDERGROUND!

Haven't heard this one in a while. Nasty groove incoming...

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE KNACK!

Johnny always wants to throw in a song a week that might be a good sing-along. This one's a flipping layup. Sing people sing! 'My Sharona' up next.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with PETER GABRIEL!

One of those songs that just blew Johnny away so long ago the first time he heard it. Doesn't happen often, let's celebrate when it does. 'Game Without Frontiers' putting the wraps on another Music Series.

It's the Saturday night Scoreboard Show!

November brings the big games doesn't it? Unless your team is 3-6

Lehigh 10
Holy Cross 7
Lehigh football, you'll pay for the whole seat but you'll only need the edge.

Georgia Tech 28
Miami (FL) 23
With the victory Georgia Tech collects the state of Florida's 30 electoral votes.

Ole Miss 28

With the loss Georgia hands those 30 electoral votes Georgia Tech won right over to Mississippi.

Fairmont State 36
West Liberty 35
Fairmont State trailed 35-20 heading into the 4th quarter.

Indiana 20
Michigan 15
The road to the Big Ten title goes through Bloomington. Wait, LOL, WUT?

Cortland 29
Brockport 28
The fans at Bob Boozer Field in Brockport, NY sure got their money's worth.

UConn 31
UAB 23
The Huskies scored 21 unanswered in the 4th quarter for the victory.

Denison 63
Oberlin 0
Denison won the toss and elected to beat the crap out of Oberlin.

Awfully low scoring basketball game.

The Oscoda City Desk Game of the Week®
Southern Illinois 37
Youngstown State 33
Southern Illinois didn't exactly start on time today. They fell behind 28-0. They trailed entering the 4th quarter 33-18. But QB Jake Curry would not be denied. He threw 3 TD passes in the 4th quarter, the last to Bradley Clark late in the game to get power up for the Salukis. For their efforts, Jake Curry and Bradley Clark may loot and pillage Carbondale Illinois for the 24 hours.
