Primarily about Penn State football, this is a tale told by idiots, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
As the remaining hours of 2005 wind down, The Nittany Turkey wishes all of you a happy new year. May your year be healthy, happy, and prosperous, and may it start with an Orange Bowl win and later give Joe Paterno the undefeated season he craves. Celebrate safely and happily and we’ll see you all in 2006!
Sincerely,
TNT

Apart from the revelation about about the proposed retirement, the article contains many interesting insights into JoePa’s psyche and coaching philosophy. The Turkey hopes you enjoy it!
Among the honors being heaped on Nittany Lion head coach Joe Paterno this year is his second Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Award. The Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Award is to honor the Division I football coach whose programs represent quality on and off of the field. Paterno had previously won the prestigious award in 1981.
