Turkey’s 2006 Season Preview and Prediction

Posted on August 17, 2006 Written by The Nittany Turkey

It’s that time again, Nittany Lion fans! With the season opener looming in a little more than two weeks, this Turkey will look ahead at the forthcoming season.

As usual, I’ll look at the Sports Illustrated pre-season rankings as a sanity check and starting point. I can pull rankings out of my ass just as easily as SI can, but since they’ve already done so, it will save me the trouble.

Primary Care—Not!

Posted on August 15, 2006 Written by The Nittany Turkey

I am incensed! I just got off the phone with my physician’s office, having called to change my October 12 appointment for a physical exam. The phone person told me that if I wanted to change it, the next available date would be in February 2007. What the hell kind of arrogantly incompetent bullshit is that?

Paterno Sculpture Quiz Reprise

Posted on August 14, 2006 Written by The Nittany Turkey

Player tableaux, Joe Paterno statue.

So, I see that I stumped you all with my Paterno sculpture quiz a couple of weeks ago. (If you haven’t read it yet, click here.) I got a couple of head-scratching answers and a whole lot of silence. Wellllll, your silence has spoken and this Turkey will make it easier for you.

All FourI’m going to show you the depiction of the four players, who are numbered 82, 22, 43, and 86. Click on the thumbnail at left to see a larger version.

I’m also going to show you close-ups of their faces. Again, you can click on the thumbnails for a larger rendition. Here they are:

#82
#82
#22
#22
#43
#43
#86
#86

So, now you have their faces. Any ideas yet?

Whodat Turkey?

The Nittany Turkey is a retired techno-geek who thinks he knows something about Penn State football and everything else in the world.
