A City Desk tradition, Creepy Dead Folk on Halloween
Though not the live version with Satan's Cheerleaders (Satan's Cheerleaders > The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders) it's still 'Creepy Dead Folk' and it's still Halloween.
Bobby "Boris" Pickett and the Crypt Kicker Five kicking off Halloween 2024!
Let's get going with the fun in a rather classic way...

It's the Saturday night Scoreboard Show!
On a week that saw another penalty for 'brandishing a weapon" (In the Eastern Michigan vs Akron game) here we go...
Virginia Tech 21
Georgia Tech 6
Johnny made big money on his own gambling app on this one by betting on Tech. Don't say money laundering, say JohnnyGambles®
Michigan Tech 39
Northern Michigan 9
Great to see these two Upper Peninsula rivals square off. They have four Division 1 championships between them...in hockey, not football.
TCU 35
Texas Tech 34
Here come the comebacks: TCU rallied from a 17-point deficit after halftime for the victory.
Brown 23
Cornell 21
Christopher Maron booted a 29-yard field goal on the final play, capping a rally from an 18-point deficit.
Tulsa 46
UTSA 45
Tulsa trailed 35-7 at the half. Our most impressive comeback today.
Houston 17
Utah 14
Jack Martin, why he's the guy who made the game-winning field goal as time expired.
Dartmouth 24
Columbia 21
6-0 Dartmouth would probably host Texas if the playoffs started today
Illinois College 84
Lawrence University 0
When Johnny says he checks all the scores, he checks ALL the scores.
Utah State 27
Wyoming 25
Tanner Cragun played hero and kicked a 40-yard field goal as time expired to help Utah State get power up and win the game.
The Oscoda City Desk Game of the Week®
Ball State 25
Northern Illinois 23
Nobody wants to be 2-6, especially Ball State's Jackson Courville who kicked a career-best 52-yard field goal with two seconds remaining to get the Cardinals to a 3-5 record and perhaps a sniff of bowl eligibility down the road. For his heroics, Jackson Courville may loot and pillage Muncie Indiana for the next 24 hours.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with ELVIS COSTELLO & THE ATTRACTIONS!
Sherman, set the Wayback Machine for March 1978 and the incredible album 'This Year's Model' for our first track tonight, produced by Nick Lowe fyi, 'Lipstick Vogue'
Friday night MULTIMEDIA WITH BOB MARLEY & THE WAILERS!
Do you like classics? Johnny does. He loves the saying: If it wasn't good it wouldn't be a classic. 'Jammin'' up next.
Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE STRANGELOVES!
With Halloween less than a week away (and of course a big Halloween party can be found right here next Thursday with all kinds of merriment) how about an aptly named classic by The Strangeloves, 'I Want Candy' which most people remember Bow Wow Wow for covering in the 1980's.
The song title doesn't mean actual wrapped sweet treats but Candy Johnson from the movie Beach Party. Now you know.

It's the Saturday night Scoreboard Show!

Capital 31
Ohio Northern with a big 4th quarter for the victory.
Eastern Michigan 38
Central Michigan 34
Cole Snyder capped a 22 point 4th quarter for EMU by running it in with seconds to play on a 4th and 1 from CMU's 1 yard line. No FG and OT for EMU, only victory. For his heroics, Cole Snyder may loot and pillage Ypsilanti Michigan for the next 24 hours.

Johnny knew missing last week at a wedding might be a bad idea...

A little MACtion craziness.

North Carolina 34
Jamal Haynes ran 68 yards for a TD in the final minute to lift the Ramblin' Wreck.
Ohio 27
Central Michigan 25

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with BILLY JOEL!
With all the Bigfoot hoopla this weekend Johnny saw an opportunity for a theme night. Every song tonight? It'll have BIG in the title. Kicking off Bigfoot Bash weekend with Billy Joel and 'Big Shot'
Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with KATE BUSH!
Thinking of all the Bigfoot enthusiasts dropped off tonight under 'The Big Sky' in the Huron National Forest in places Bigfoot sighting have happened. Johnny may well do this next year and see what it's all about.
Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with PATTY GRIFFIN!
Boy this idea of using the word "big" turns out to be a great way to work in a Patty Griffin song. 'One Big Love' taking us out tonight.

You can also check out the Northern Lights tonight.
Doin' it right in Oscoda...

Johnny wants to give a big shout out to everyone coming to town for the Bigfoot Bash this upcoming weekend. Oscoda is about big things ya know, Lake Huron, Paul Bunyan and Bigfoot. Enjoy your stay, have a blast and get gas before you get to Oscoda, it's much cheaper south of here.
Much cheaper.
Time for Oscoda, After Dark
How about those Owls?!?!
The Oscoda football team in on a roll. After an 0-2 start they have scored 4 straight victories after a 42-14 win vs Harbor Springs Friday and have moved into second place in the Northern Michigan Football Conference. Oscoda fans have one more chance to see the team at the Owls Nest Friday at 7pm before they finish with two on the road.
One for all and all for Owls!

No Scoreboard Show tomorrow, can't be helped kids. Next week for sure.
Time for Oscoda, After Dark
Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE EURYTHMICS!
'The King and Queen of America' sounded just right to start things off tonight. Johnny heard it a couple days ago and knew it was batting leadoff tonight.
Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with BOZ SCAGGS!
Did you know then, Boz Scaggs was in a band with Steve Miller not once but twice, with the Ardells in the early 1960's then the famed Steve Miller Band from 67-68. 'Lido Shuffle' up next.
Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with KISS!
Johnny is heading down to the D for a wedding tomorrow so why not drop a little bit of an obvious choice with 'Detroit Rock City' to take us out.

As much as it pains Johnny, no Saturday night Scoreboard Show this week
While news like this may make score aggregators like ESPN and CBS Sports happy not to go up against Johnny, it can't be helped this week. Johnny will be in Detroit for a wedding. Don't worry though, the Music Series will be on Friday as usual.
