The Nittany Turkey

Primarily about Penn State football, this is a tale told by idiots, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Anyone Got a Good Leg?

Posted on April 7, 2010 Written by The Nittany Turkey

Penn State lost its steady punter, Jeremy Boone, to graduation. His backup, Ryan Breen, decided to leave school. Thus, the Nittany Lions are scrambling to find a punter for 2010, and this weekend’s police blotter might have thinned the field even more.

Anthony Fera, a sophomore punter and place kicker, was charged over the weekend with purchasing an alcoholic beverage by a minor. Who knows what this will do to his status on the team and in Joe Paterno’s legendary dog house.

Vote for Nittany Lions as NFL’s All-Time Best Draft Picks

Posted on April 7, 2010 Written by The Nittany Turkey

The NFL is holding an open vote for its all-time 75 best draft picks. Among the candidates for inclusion are former Nittany Lions Kerry Collins, Jack Ham, Franco Harris, Lenny Moore, and Mike Munchak.

The voting mechanism is interesting. It is not the typical “choose m candidates out of n total choices” kind of thing. Instead, you view pairs of players and vote for one of the two. For example, you might see Fran Tarkenton vs. Mike Curtis pop up on your screen. Under each of their photos is a summary of their stats and whether they are active or not. After thirty votes, your current top ten will appear, and it will be updated each time you vote. I made about 100 selections, and although I never saw Franco or Munchak come up, I found the whole thing very entertaining.

Further details and biographic sketches of the four Lions are available at the main PSU Athletics web site.

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. If there's a topic, we have an opinion on it, and you know what "they" say about opinions! Most of what is posted here involves a heavy dose of hip-shooting conjecture, but unlike some other blogs, we don't represent it as fact. Read More…
