Time for Oscoda, After Dark

The Saturday night Scoreboard Show!

The lesson this year? Play early or get left off the best Scoreboard Show in America. One more time this season, shall we?

Michigan 30
Ohio State 24
Here at WOCD (perfect, right?) we're playing all the stax of wax and platters that matter. We've got a long distance dedication from a Jim H to Ryan D, It's the Honey Cone and 'Want Ads'

Chattanooga 24
Austin Peay 21
The game was tied going into the 4th quarter. Go on and take a wild guess how many points Chattanooga outscored Austin Peay by. Go on, guess

Kentucky 38
Louisville 31
A big UK 4th quarter means the Governor's Cup stays with the Wildcats

Kutztown 32
Charleston (WV) 31
The big money was on Charleston (WV), the smart money was on Kutztown

Washington 24
Washington State 21
Whistling past the graveyard in Seattle tonight

Oklahoma State 40
BYU 34 2OT
Oklahoma State clinches a place in the Big 12 title game...barely

Old Dominion 25
Georgia State 24
ODU left the varsity in the locker room until the second half outscoring Georgia State 25-3

North Dakota State 66
Drake 3
The term 'lovely parting gifts' comes to mind

Syracuse 35
Wake Forest 31
The Orange are going bowling though probably not to the actual Orange Bowl

The Oscoda City Desk Game of the Week®
Alabama 27
Auburn 24
Keep hope alive. That was all Alabama fans could hope for facing 4th and forever with seconds to play. Miss your chance and no playoffs for you. But no, there will be a chance next week because Auburn rushed TWO Players on the deciding play and Jalen Milroe hit Isaiah Bond with the winning TD. For their efforts, Jalen Milroe and Isaiah Bond may loot and pillage Auburn Alabama for the next 24 hours

I call my lawyer and say, 'Can I ask you two questions?' He says, 'What's the second question?' -- Henny Youngman

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with SUPERTRAMP!

A longtime Johnny fave and he doesn't just mean this song, 'Breakfast in America' he means the entire album Breakfast in America. 

Song it is. Kick back and enjoy your extra musical helping tonight.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE CRYSTALS!

Just perfect:
I wanted to let him know that he was more than a friend
I didn't know just what to do
So I whispered I love you
He said that he loved me too
And then he kissed me
'Then He Kissed Me' making you want to sing along tonight.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE CRANBERRIES!

Thanksgiving weekend, Cranberries, get it? Hello? Hello? Is this thing on?

'Just My Imagination' up next

Happy Thanksgiving to all our readers!

Here's hoping your Thanksgiving is a wonderful day filled with friends and family and for once in an age, planning dinner AROUND the Lions game.

As is tradition, and you know Johnny is big on those, it's time for the story about the Group W Bench...

The Saturday night Scoreboard Show!

The hour grows late, the failures become bigger.

UCLA 38
USC 20
UCLA in their powder blues and USC in their red jerseys are the epitome of a good looking college football game

Kansas State 31
Kansas 27
The Dorothy Gale trophy goes to the Wildcats this year

Eastern Michigan 69
Cleveland State 62
Wait, now being told this is a college basketball score

Appalachian State 26
James Madison 23 OT
Good, now the nonsensical JMU administration can fire the lawyers and shut their holes about suing the NCAA to get into a bowl game

Iowa 15
Illinois 13
The Big Ten West may go down as the worst division in football looking back one day

Alabama 66
Chattanooga 10
These late-November SEC homecoming matchups are an embarrassment

Lafayette 49
Lehigh 21
The longest rivalry in NCAA history, now at 149 games, goes to Patriot League champs Lafayette this season

Arkansas-Pine Bluff 35
Texas Southern 34
Arkansas-Pine Bluff decided to leave the good players in the locker room until the 4th quarter where they overcame a 34-13 deficit

Yale 23
Harvard 18
With the win Yale claims a share of the Ivy League title, along with Harvard and Dartmouth

The Oscoda City Desk Game of the Week®
Texas Tech 24
UCF 23
Oh the little things a team does that adds up over a season to bowl eligibility. UCF scored late and lined up for a game-tying extra point. E'Maurion Banks did one of those attention to detail things and blocked the UCF extra point attempt preserving the win for Texas Tech and bowl eligibility at 6-5. For his efforts, E'Maurion Banks may loot and pillage Lubbock Texas for the next 24 hours

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with AL GREEN!

It should surprise no one that Johnny would be listening to the school bus radio on his old school bus 74-9 on The Big 8, CKLW and grooving to this song as early as 7am some days. Soul starts early, if you're not ready you'll miss it. 'Show and Tell' leading us off tonight.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with BILLY IDOL!

Sing along time. Sink another drink and test your pipes on 'Dancing with Myself'

Friday night MULTIMeDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with DEEP BLUE SOMETHING!

Johnny and his girlfriend's Movie Night choice tonight was the classic Breakfast at Tiffany's and so a logical extension would be to play the Deep Blue Something song, 'Breakfast At Tiffany's' this evening.

So yeah, sing along...

They DID stay an extra night...

Always happy to have family stay longer. Alas, no Music Series last night and Johnny is out of town tonight. Maybe we'll have a quick Music Series later this week. It won't be announced on the Twitter, you'll just have to stop back.

Johnny should have given everyone better warning. The Music Series will have to be Sunday night this week as Johnny's sisters are up this weekend and Johnny is giving them the full Oscoda experience.

The Saturday night Scoreboard Show!

Some teams won some big games to stay alive for possible playoff action. Others just played for the love of the game. It's why we as a nation love college football

Tulane 13
East Carolina 10
The Green Wave is 8-1 and looking good

Florida State 24
Pitt 7
Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi's pep talk to his team last week about how he liked last year's roster better didn't seem to have much of an impact on the lads

Clemson 31
Notre Dame 23
Shame they couldn't both lose

Houston 25
Baylor 24 OT
You play to win the game. Houston doesn't concern themselves with going for 1 and a tie in OT, they play to win the game...and do

Oklahoma State 27
Oklahoma 24
No more bedlam for you...at least not until say a bowl game 3 years from now

Ashland 37
Findlay 35 4OT
Wouldn't this have been a hoot and a half to go to?





Arkansas 39
Florida 36 OT
The Piggies make the Gators squeal in OT and put Florida's bowl eligibility on hold

Ole Miss 38
Texas A&M 35
Are Ole Miss this year's playoff dark horse? We'll know next week vs Georgia

Saginaw Valley 62
Northern Michigan 17
We just hope the NMU coach took the boys out for ice cream after the game

The Oscoda City Desk Game of the Week®
Texas 33 
Kansas State 30 OT
We give a lot of accolades to the winning pass catcher or winning kicker week after week. Tonight its about the Texas defense who, in trying to keep playoff hopes alive comes up with a huge 4th down stop in OT to get power up and win the game. For their efforts, the Texas defense may loot and pillage Austin Texas for the next 24 hours.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with STEELY DAN!

No static at all, 'FM'

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE SPINNERS!

Go ahead and add another band from Detroit/Michigan to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as this year welcomes The Spinners. At last check, no kidding, Michigan acts made up about 10% of the Rock Hall. The Spinners will be the 21st Detroit act to be inducted.

Suck it every other state and country. 'Could It Be I'm Falling In Love' sounding so good.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with FLEETWOOD MAC!

How about a little love for the vocal acumen of Christine McVie? 'World Turning' taking us out tonight.
