Late night open thread

The Saturday Night Scoreboard Show, we laugh at losing teams because we love them.

Clemson 27
Syracuse 23
Good lord that poor Clemson QB got the soul knocked out of him. Syracuse looking so improved even with the loss

Northern Illinois 26
Eastern Michigan 23 3OT
They worked a lot of overtime at "The Factory" in Ypsilanti today but nobody from Eastern got paid

Brown 35
Georgetown 7
The Brown over the 'Town

Michigan State 31
Central Michigan 20
Newsflash, MSU leads nation in run defense; in other news, water is wet

Purdue 42
Nebraska 28
This whole Scott Frost transition thing just looks so seamless when you're winless and getting creased by the Boilermakers

Indiana 24
Rutgers 7
Ringmaster, how long must this Rutgers circus continue?

Ohio University 58
Massachusetts 42
The Playstation Game of the Week

North Carolina State 35
Virginia 21
Remember, remember, do you remember that time that Virginia was a #1 seed in the NCAA basketball tournament and lost to #16 Maryland at Baltimore County? That was AWESOME!

Michigan 20
Northwestern 17
If Michigan doesn't come back and win this game the Jim Harbaugh outlook gets real bad real fast

The Jersey City Desk Game of the Week®
Georgia Southern 28
Arkansas State 21
There were just seconds to play when Wesley Kennedy III set sail for the Arkansas State end zone but if it's the Game of the Week you know Kennedy got power up and made it to the house ensuring sweet victory for the Eagles. For his heroics, Wesley Kennedy III may loot and pillage Statesboro Georgia for the next 24 hours.

Time for Jersey City, After Dark

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with STEELY DAN!

You kids today, you don't know good radio, especially good FM radio. Sure you have XM and Sirius with no commercials but you simply do not get today the DJ knowledge so inherent back in Johnny's day. You got to know who played on the track, the artist's thoughts maybe and when the band was coming to town and where. Just about every song got that treatment when they did finally break for a commercial.

No static at all, here's 'FM' (Awesome extended version you've probably never heard before, Johnny hadn't, he never bought the FM soundtrack)


Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with SUZANNE VEGA!

What's not to love about Suzanne Vega? Such a brilliant lyricist. Not that the rest of the package isn't fabulous but boy Johnny used to read ALL her liner notes for lyrics. From the Songs in Red and Gray album, here is 'Penitent' and a great live version.


Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN!

What better song to send you out into this glorious fall evening in Cool City? Interesting note about this song, the chords were based on David Bowie's "Space Oddity" just played backwards.

'The Killing Moon' puts the wraps on another Music Series.

Late night open thread

It's college football the way you like it....FREE!

Buffalo 42
Rutgers 13
MAC teams like to fly a pirate flag when they beat a Power 5 conference. Rutgers is going to have to take out a restraining order against that flag

Michigan 56
Nebraska 10
Frosty creamed corn

Duke 55
NC Central 13
Johnny had to double check this wasn't basketball

Syracuse 51
Connecticut 21
WTF Syracuse? 4-0? It's the first day of fall and everything is already orange in upstate New York

Colgate 45
Lafayette 0
Lafayette did not much enjoy their check up

UCF 56
FAU 36
Does it seem like the first five weeks of the season all the Florida teams have a round-robin?

Miami (FL) 31
FIU 17
Does it seem like the first five weeks of the season all the Florida teams have a round-robin?

Arkansas State 27
UNLV 20
Good thing Arkansas State scored 8 points in the fourth quarter to none for UNLV. Because if they hadn't they'd have lost. You get that right? Hello, is this thing on?

West Alabama 16
Limestone 13
When we say we check ALL the scores, we check ALL the scores

The Jersey City Desk Game of the Week®
Idaho State 25
North Dakota 21
Idaho State's Defensive back Christian McFarland did not travel from Idaho all the way to goddamned Grand Forks North Dakota to lose. No sir. McFarland got power up and intercepted a UND pass very late to seal the win. Loot and pillage Grand Forks as you will Mr. McFarland but as always, please keep it to 24 hours, people have to work on Monday
