The Nittany Turkey

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

Get Off the Pot, Joe!

Posted on August 30, 2011 Written by The Nittany Turkey

As the season opener against the mighty Sycamores of Indiana State looms, two big questions remain: will Paterno coach from the sidelines or the booth, and who will hold the reins to the offense?

I can understand the former being a game day decision, but holy crap! Doesn’t the offense deserve to know who their starting quarterback is at least prior to mid-week of game week? The team is electing captains now, and it is traditional for the starting quarterback to be a captain. The depth chart says OR, but you can’t have Captain Bolden OR McGloin. Perhaps this is already decided and is being kept under wraps. There’s been nary a tweet.

When I feel like writing more, I’ll be back with the preview of the season and the Sycamores game, I think. I have to pay some bills first.

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…
