Another crazy Saturday football fans. Let's see what's what...

Michigan 34
Maryland 27
Michigan should keep Blake Corum in a bubble all week until gametime. They cannot lose this feller

Texas A&M 23
Arkansas 21
Ever seen a 99 yard fumble return featuring a lateral? Now you have

Tennessee 38
Florida 33
Rocky Top's getting drunk tonight

Kansas 35
Duke 27
Nah, too low for a Final Four score. Kansas is 4-0 in football for the first time since the Earth was cooling

Ohio U 59
Fordham 52
Today's Playstation Game of the Week®

Merchant Marine 9
Kean University 7
A lot of people took a financial bath on this one

Middle Tennessee 45
Miami FL 31
DJ England-Chisolm have yourself a day! The MTSU receiver had 2 catches, both TD's from 71 and then 98 yards out

Clemson 51
Wake Forest 45 2OT
And nobody asked for their money back after this gem

Navy 23
East Carolina 20 2OT
One wonders how Navy can get the win and yet not get credit for it at the same time











The Oscoda City Desk Game of the Week®
Miami OH 17
Northwestern 14
It's not always the offensive guy who gets power up and wins the game ya know? Ja'Von Kimpson recovered a Wildcat fumble with 4 seconds to play to seal the victory for Miami. For his efforts, Ja'Von Kimpson may loot and pillage Evanston Illinois for the next 24 hours

Tie for Oscoda, After Dark

Another tough night for our Oscoda Owls on the gridiron. Johnny heard the band before the game while out walking the pup. He checked the score later this evening and St. Ignace was just too much. The Owls are 1-4 but another game waits next week, another chance to get a big win.

Time for Oscoda, After Dark

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE ENGLISH BEAT!

Johnny always thinks of the fight in Grosse Pointe Blank when he hears this song but it sounds good at anytime in any setting. It doesn't just have to work when John Cusack sticks a pen in Benny Urquidez's neck. 'Mirror In the Bathroom' getting us started tonight.

Oh that saxophone...

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE TEMPTATIONS!

Motown, it just makes everything better. 

You go right ahead and try to hit that 'Losing You' chorus on (I Know) I'm Losing You

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with LED ZEPPELIN!

Anytime is the right time on a Friday night to 'Boogie with Stu' ya know? Here, Johnny will prove it...

Wild days in college football make for a great Scoreboard Show!

Arkansas 38
Missouri State 27
The Razorbacks were looking disaster in the eye until a strong 4th quarter saved the day

Florida 31
South Florida 28
Same with the Gators, things seemed darkest before late in the game heroics bailed them out

Oklahoma 49
Nebraska 14
Hey, positives for the Cornhuskers, it wasn't an agonizing one-score loss

Tulane 17
Kansas State 10
Tulane's Green Wave is 3-0 people

Bowling Green 34
Marshall 31 OT
Marshall basically gives back their win against Notre Dame with a loss to a bad MAC tram

UCLA 32
South Alabama 31
UCLA sniffed out a fake FG late and stopped it to set up their own game winning FG. Big irony

Charlotte 42
Georgia State 41
Charlotte scores a TD with 17 seconds left to get power up and win the game

Southern Illinois 31
Northwestern 24
And all Northwestern had to do after the loss was write SIU a check for $550,000 for coming and beating them

Syracuse 32
Purdue 29
Some atrocious coaching and histrionics from the Boilermakers made the Orange victory possible

The Oscoda City Desk Game of the Week®
Appalachian State 32
Troy 28
Some serious looting and pillaging of Boone NC for the next 24 hours for local stars Chase Brice and Chris Horn for this game winning gem

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with EVERYTHING BUT THE GIRL!

A tale of two very of different versions of this song. The first, the original which is just fine, it's swell. Johnny casts no aspersion upon it. That being said, we're running with the Todd Terry Club remix version of this one which really bring the song to life in a way the original doesn't. Starting us out tonight it's 'Missing'

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with DAVE EDMUNDS!

You kids at home, if you want to see exactly what 1979 looked like, enjoy this video. The song is great and it counts as credit for your history course. 'Girls Talk' up next tonight.

It may come as a surprise to some but YES, you can still go see Yes live. Follow the link on this to YouTube and it has their touring schedule. They'll be hearing this song, 'Changes' on November 11 in Gary Indiana. Lucky bastards.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with SARAH MCLACHLAN!

Such a great track from the Brokedown Palace soundtrack. A movie that Johnny has on his Movie Night list after he and the girlfriend get done rewatching the original Game of Thrones before starting on House of the Dragon.

But it's on the list as is this song, 'Silence'

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with SIOUXSIE & THE BANSHEES!

Sherman, set the Wayback Machine for 1991 and the Superstition album and the song 'Cry' and give the people something hot to listen to to.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE BEATLES!

Johnny has long wondered how bands like The Beatles and Rolling Stones or say Jimi Hendrix or Janis Joplin, you know, the classic rock acts would have done on today's musical talent shows. Johnny's guess is usually not too well. 'You've Got to Hide Your Love Away' taking us out tonight.
