The Oscoda City Desk Game of the Week®

Morehead State 23

Marist 21

Sometimes you play football for the love of the game. You play and love the game even though you're not going to a fancy bowl and your school will make millions. Sometimes you just play. Game on the line, two 3 win teams. None of this mattered to Morehead State kicker Thomas Schwartz V who stepped up and nailed a 41-yard field goal to win the game for the Eagles. For his efforts, Thomas Schwartz V may loot and pillage Morehead Kentucky for the next 24 hours

Saturday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE MOODY BLUES!

Very sad to hear longtime member of The Moody Blues, John Lodge, passed away October 10. Lodge was their bassist and part-time lead singer and contributed many of their biggest songs, like this one, 'Departure/Ride My See-Saw'. 

He was 82. Thank you, Mr. Lodge

Johnny's pooch is on the mend so there should be no problem delivering a Saturday night Scoreboard Show on the 'morrow.

Time for Oscoda, After Dark

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with DAVID BOWIE!

Please, please, Johnny is no 'Starman', David Bowie? Now he's the Starman. 

Guess what song is stepping us off tonight?

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with WENDY & LISA!

Wendy and Lisa, formerly of the Revolution with that Prince guy came out with this brilliant song long ago. So long ago it favored a cassette Johnny often rode the #3 bus to work on back in Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor. Then it made a CD on the old portable CD player. Johnny just loves this tune, 'Waterfall'

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with TALKING HEADS!

The name of this band is Talking Heads. The name of this song is 'Swamp'

The right people will get that reference...

Late night open thread

You've known Johnny over the years. He's never bail on something, especially twice like a Scoreboard show unless he had reason. Last Saturday his pup started feeling unwell and tonight it got a bit worse. He's under a vet's care but right now, like last week, Johnny's head just isn't into making fun of Penn State.

He'll update as needed and Johnny hopes things improve for his pup and the chances for a Scoreboard Show next week.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with BARRY WHITE!

Johnny heard this song this week and knew it'd start off the Music Series this week. Damn straight the long version. This is The Walrus of Love we're talking about. 'Standing in the Shadows of Love' starting the party right.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with R.E.M.!

Nope, you don't have to do anything but sit back and enjoy another really great song on a Friday night. 'Driver 8' up next

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with PETER FRAMPTON!

Wooooo! Party time my roaring cats! A 1970's concert with all the trimmings could be a beautiful thing. Trimmings being weed. Light your joint then flick your Bic until it gets too hot.

Or so Johnny has heard. 'Show Me the Way' taking us out tonight.
