The final Saturday Night Scoreboard Show of the year. We hope you've enjoyed them each week.

Michigan 45

Ohio State 23

Since Ryan Day said he wanted to, "Hang 100 on them" Michigan has mauled the Buckeyes twice. Michigan has in essence done with Day's comment what Michigan State did with Mike Hart's "little brother" comment long ago

TCU 62

Iowa State 14

TCU asking the playoff committee if they are listening

Alabama 49

Auburn 27

Alabama asking the same question but the committee sees the Crimson Tide's TWO losses and tells them to scram

Delaware Valley 39

Randolph-Macon College 32

Delaware Valley got serious and got power up with a 21-0 4th quarter effort

Oregon State 38

Oregon 34

Why we love college football's last weekends: The Ducks can still make the Pac-12 championship game but needed Washington State to beat rival Washington later Saturday. If Washington wins, No. 14 Utah would advance to the title game against No. 5 Southern California

South Carolina 31

Clemson 30

The Gamecocks get their second straight win over a top ten team after beating Tennessee last week

Gardner-Webb 52

Eastern Kentucky 41

This week's PlayStation Game of the Week®

Colorado's magical 1-11 season comes to an end

North Texas 21

Rice 17

No Rice in a bowl this year

The Oscoda City Desk Game of the Week®

Colorado School of Mines 48

Minnesota State 45

The Orediggers (yup) stood tall and protected a late lead and will move on in the Division II playoffs. For their efforts the entire Orediggers team may loot and pillage Golden Colorado for the next 24 hours

Time for Oscoda, After Dark

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with ETTA JAMES!

And England STILL hasn't beaten the USA at the World Cup! So, tonight some all-American music the way God intended. Kicking things off with the legendary Etta James and 'I Just Want To Make Love To You'

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with LINDA RONSTADT!

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS!

Wrapping up our all-American Music Series tonight with the Red Hot Chili Peppers with the mega-hit 'Give It Away' which the USA did not do today. 

Late night open thread

USA vs England at the World Cup tomorrow 2pm. Did you know then, England has never beaten the USA in the World Cup. The USA enjoys a 1 win 1 draw 0 losses advantage when money is on the table. Who could forget Rob Green's howler in the 2010 World Cup?

Time for Oscoda, After Dark

Happy Thanksgiving!

To all our readers out there, all the blessings of a wonderful Thanksgiving Day your way.

And the dump in Stockbridge Massachusetts is still closed on Thanksgiving.

Strike up the band in Nashville, the Commodores win their second straight SEC game after a 26 game losing streak

Lehigh 11

These teams have played more than any other college football foes, 158 times as of today. After today Lafayette leads the rivalry 81–72–5

Pitt 28

Duke 26

Pitt will of course pay for this come basketball season

Long Island University 37

Sacred Heart 34

Sacred Heart really got it going and scored 17 unanswered points in the 4th quarter...and still lost

Michigan 19

Illinois 17

The Wolverines struggle to get power up but having the best placekicker in college football sure comes in handy

Ohio State 43

Maryland 30

Even if the Buckeyes had lost FOX would still be hyping the Michigan vs OSU game over their World Cup coverage

Yale 19

Harvard 14

Johnny ain't no mathmegician or no nothing but he's gonna say Yale won this game

North Carolina Central 22

Tennessee Tech 20

So close to being the Game of the Week as Adrian Olivo hit a 36 Yd Field Goal as time expired to win it for dear old NCC

Pennsylvania 20

Princeton 19

This loss no doubt ends 8-2 Princeton's chances at a playoff spot and opens things up for the Michigans and TCU's of the world. Speaking of which...

The Oscoda City Desk Game of the Week®

TCU 29

Baylor 28

What an amazing finish as the Horned Frogs scored 9 points in the final 2:07 to stay undefeated and in the playoff hunt. For hitting the game winning 40 yard FG at the death, kicker Griffin Kell may loot and pillage Waco Texas for the next 24 hours

There is no sound in space because molecules are too far apart to transmit sound. Now you know.

Time for Oscoda, After Dark

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with NEKO CASE!

Johnny's tail always wags when he gets to choose a Neko Case song from her incredible catalog. 'The Needle Has Landed' is of course one such song. Perfect harmonies between Neko and Kelly Hogan on this one. 

Who writes songs like this anymore? Just brilliant:

So that's why I never come back here

That's why they spit out my name

Your exes have clawed up the Bible

Trying to keep me away

With the sledge of tectonic fever

The needle has landed again

Let it play

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with MOBY!

A driverless car with tailfins? The line forms behind Johnny...'Porcelain' up next on the Music Series.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with PAUL SIMON!

Somebody call Sofia Vergara, tell her Johnny ain't coming home...

'50 Ways To Leave Your Lover' taking us out tonight. In this case the 50 ways might play out 'Take your serious head wound and go, Joe'

Late night open thread

World Cup starts Sunday. USA plays Monday. The Oscoda City Desk will be all over it.

Time for Oscoda, After Dark

They have upgraded this nebbish snow day to a 3-6" annoyance

3-6" of sloppy wet snow between, well, now and 7am tomorrow for Iosco (and Ogemaw but who really cares) Counties. Probably much ado about nothing unless you are a dog.

The Oscoda City Desk Action Weather Team rates this a 1 Dr. Smith storm system.

Late night open thread

Mid November means no room for error. Let's go find some errors...

Pitt 37

Virginia 7

Virginia threw two pick sixes to begin the game and were down 14-0 after 16 seconds. Late arriving Virginia fans be like

Ohio State 56

Indiana 14

The Buckeyes crocheted Indiana. Fans of 'Only Murders in the Building' got that one and are doubled over laughing

Michigan State 27

Rutgers 21

Turnabout is fair play. MSU blocked a Rutgers kick in the 4th quarter to gain control. How many times Rutgers are the blockers and not the blockees

Notre Dame 35

Navy 32

Speaking of which the Irish blocked a punt in their fifth straight game and hung on for the win

Alabama 30

Ole Miss 24

Some team thinking they are having a really great year are gonna get an angry Alabama team in a bowl game and hate life

Lehigh 36

Colgate 33

Eric Johnson's 11 yard pass reception from Dante Perri with seconds to play complete Lehigh's 4th quarter comeback on South Mountain

Boston College 21

NC State 20

Full credit to BC, they aren't playing to go to a bowl game and yet hung around and won with 14 seconds to play over the #17 Wolfpack

Vanderbilt 24

Kentucky 21

All hail the Commodores who snap a 26 game SEC losing streak with a 12 play 80 yard drive so late they all got grounded

Ripon 82

Lawrence 0

One wonders at what point with their score in the 50's Ripon might have thought they had enough points and took some knees

The Oscoda City Desk Game of the Week®

Mount Union 23

Baldwin Wallace 21

Mount Union is used to winning. They'd won 32 league titles before today. Today however they were trailing and it came down to one last chance. Braxton Plunk threw it, Wayne Ruby Jr caught it and bedlam and a playoff spot ensue. For their heroics Braxton Plunk and Wayne Ruby Jr. may loot and pillage Berea Ohio for the next 24 hours

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with ARETHA FRANKLIN!

Johnny tries not to get too political on the City Desk especially on Music Series night but he was awful proud of how many Michiganders showed up to vote Tuesday and he was awfully gratified by the outcomes. A tribute to the many who showed out to make their voices heard, the late Queen of Michigan, Aretha Franklin and 'Baby, I Love You'

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with DEPECHE MODE!

Didn't we just get done with endless candidates on the teevee telling us they all had the Policy of Truth'? It's better when Depeche Mode does it. More believable.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE BEACH BOYS!

When the calendar turns to mid-November it sure makes one think about that Beach Boys surf sound here in the Great Lakes region. 'I Get Around' to take us out tonight with the breeze in our hair and the cold cold cold sand in our toes.

Here's to a Happy Veterans Day for vets and their families

Johnny's dad, shown in the picture, served waaaaaay back in Korea. To all who have served or supported them, thank you and happy Veterans Day!

Late night open thread

When the calendar turns to November the games get bigger and the burns get worse...

Georgia 27

Tennessee 13

Tennessee volunteered to come back to college football reality

Michigan State 23

Illinois 15

MSU woke up feeling the cheesiest

Ohio State 21

Northwestern 7

Somebody just whistled past the graveyard

TCU 34

Texas Tech 24

TCU is gonna screw around and make the playoffs at this rate

Kennesaw State 44

UT Martin 27

UT Martin was feeling pretty good about themselves after a 24 point second quarter. Trouble is for them there are FOUR quarters in a game

Ursinus College 65

Juniata 2

Johnny had never seen a game end 65-2 before so here we are...

Notre Dame 35

Clemson 14

When Clemson eyes are crying

Davidson 56

Stetson 48

Today's PlayStation Game of the Week®

Kansas 37

Oklahoma State 16

Look out below! Oklahoma State is in a freefall 

The Oscoda City Desk Game of the Week®

Rice 37

UTEP 30

When the calendar turns to November and you're fighting for bowl eligibility, you need heroes. Rice, who after the win are 5-4, found two heroes in Bradley Rozner and TJ McMahon. Rozner caught the winning TD pass from McMahon with seconds to play to keep those Rice bowl hopes alive! For their efforts, Bradley Rozner and TJ McMahon may loot and pillage Houston Texas for the next 24 hours.

Remember, remember the fifth of November,

The gunpowder treason and plot

I know of no reason

Why the gunpowder treason

Should ever be forgot

Time for Oscoda, After Dark

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with HEART!

Johnny is not sure what actual scale is used to decide just how good songs are but this one, if it's not in the top 1% you can lose that scale. Not many better than 'Crazy On You' and Johnny will die on that hill.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with TALKING HEADS!

For the moment Johnny can't think of anything cool to say about Talking Heads that hasn't already been said. In which case it's best to just play the song. 'The Lady Don't Mind' up next.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE KINGS!

Two songs in one, now that's Music Series value. Taking us out tonight it's 'This Beat Goes One/Switching to Glide' and would you look at that, enhanced audio from the YouTube uploader. Well done!
