Late night open thread

As the air gets colder, the snark of the Saturday Night Scoreboard Show stings more...

Davenport 27
Northern Michigan 24 OT
This is Davenport's second victory over NMU this season. It's like Division II is from Mars...

Tennessee 40
LSU 13
The undefeated Vols host Alabama next week. Probably a lot of tickets still available...

Texas 49
Oklahoma 0
See these teams here? They are both better than Oklahoma and Michigan State















Princeton 23
Lafayette 2
Those 2 points are the game show equivalent of 'lovely parting gifts'

Purdue 31
Maryland 29
And the turtle goes *POOF*

Eastern Michigan 45
Western Michigan 23
Eastern Michigan won the toss and elected to beat he bejeesus out of the Broncos

Mississippi State 40
Arkansas 17
Wasn't 3-3 Arkansas in the Top Ten like a biscuit ago?

Texas A&M-Commerce 31
SE Louisiana 28
Who cares that they lost, did you know SE Louisiana plays in Strawberry Stadium? It's a FACT!

Tulane 24
East Carolina 9
Hey hey, the Green Wave is 5-1. It's not like a rogue wave yet but still, pretty good

The Oscoda City Desk Game of the Week®
TCU 38
Kansas 31
Did anyone have this as a battle of the unbeatens? Johnny will answer his own question -- No they did not. Quentin Johnston in catching Max Duggan's winning 24 yard pass with a minute and change to play means they, and nobody else, may loot and pillage Lawrence Kansas for the next 24 hours

Time for Oscoda, After Dark

Late night open thread

Way to go Owls! The Oscoda football team defeated Johannesburg-Lewiston 24-14 over at the Owl's Nest tonight on homecoming. Their record improves to 3-4.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with AEROSMITH!

Johnny loved this album. Sure he loved the others but there was something a little more on this one, yes even than Toys in the Attic. Some extra rocking going on deep down. This one, 'Back in the Saddle' made Johnny's tail wag.

Still does. It's why it's starting off our Rocktober Music Series.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with MOTORHEAD!

How hard does this one rock? Think back to Grosse Pointe Blank and the convenience store employee listening to this gem on headphones while John Cusack and Benny Urquidez have a gunfight around him and he never even notices.

















Now that's a rocker...

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with VAN HALEN!

Putting the wraps on a Rocktober Music Series let's bring in Van Halen for both the rock, and the satan. 'Runnin with the Devil' taking us out.

Almost 19 million views on the YouTube on this one, makes Johnny feel good about picking it for a proper Rocktober Music Series.

Sunday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGNZA with X!

Johnny was in no way a part of the Los Angeles punk scene. So it's a good thing the band X was because unlike Johnny they wrote songs. Great songs. Hey now, here's one, 'Your Phone's Off the Hook, But You're Not'

Sunday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE CARS!

1979 checking in with some of that 'new wave' sound if you want to really call it that and a band that bridged about 4 styles of the time with 'Double Life'

Sunday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with JOHN KONGOS!

Johnny, John Kongos? Who even is that? Well music fans, if you liked the Happy Monday's song, 'Step On' which we have featured here in a Music Series or two is actually a cover. A cover from 1971 that is called 'He's Gonna Step On You Again'

A shout out to BoingBoing where Johnny first heard this fabulous original.

Late night open thread

Saturday mornings are for cartoons, Saturday nights are for Scoreboard Shows...

Purdue 20
Minnesota 10
Futures in Gophers Inc took a hit today

Illinois 34
Wisconsin 10
However going long on Illini Ltd. shares is hot hot hot

Ohio St. 49
Rutgers 10
Not to dwell on the B1G but if you run a fake punt against people from New Jersey (Hey Jersey City) up 49-10 in the 4th quarter Johnny would expect nothing different

Air Force 13
Navy 10
Air > Water today anyway

Ole Miss 22
Kentucky 18
Spitting the bit takes on a new meaning in the Bluegrass State today

Kansas 14
Iowa State 11
When opposing teams are missing easy tying FG's at the death, your season can be quite special

Montana 28
Idaho State 20
Idaho State scored 14 unanswered points in the 4th quarter -- and still managed to lose

Eastern Michigan 20
UMass 13
Was it a big win for first place in Ypsilanti today? Not even close but Johnny does run his alma mater's fight song at least once a year on the Scoreboard Show

Wake Forest 31
Florida St. 21
It's still amusing after all this time when FSU loses

Sam Houston 17
Stephen F. Austin 16
Know who got power up on a rushing TD with 35 seconds to play to help his Bearkats with a K win the game? That would be Dezmon Jackson who will spend the next 24 hours looting and pillaging Houston Texas for his efforts today

Time for Oscoda, After Dark
