The Nittany Turkey

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

Da Plane! Da Plane!

Posted on January 9, 2014 Written by The Nittany Turkey

Welcome, my friends! Welcome to Fantasy Island, where all your Penn State head coaching search dreams come true.

(And if they don’t, we’ll make some up for you!)

Tracking flights into and out of State College and Destin
Twittiots tracking flights into and out of State College and Destin

Here’s a real winning tweet. Since we no longer use tenses, does this mean that Franklin already talked with the AD today or he will talk with the AD today. How the hell can anyone understand tenseless sentences? LOLOLOL Like, “Does Franklin take the Penn State job?” 😀

James Franklin talks with Vandy AD today, relays no definite Penn State plans http://t.co/6i0qS7EvuZ via @CBSSports

Here are a few tidbits from twitter just to drive you nuts! As I’ve been saying, nothing happens until it actually happens, and until I see something coming from Old Main, I am believing NOTHING!

Two Tin Soldiers

Posted on January 9, 2014 Written by The Nittany Turkey

So, stalwart Penn State fans and media weenies froze their balls at the airport last night expecting Franklin to get off the plane with Joyner and Erickson. Unless they were going for the village idiot award, they came away disappointed.

Yeah, I know. The Scranton Times-Tribune said they offered Franklin the job. The “paper of record”, as it were. I’m laughing my ass off. That was last night. All the other weenies are hopping on that pseudo-scoop just so they’re not left out. People are hungry out there, and these yellow journalists are in the business of throwing scraps to foment a feeding frenzy. They all want to be right so they can say “I told you so.”

This all amounts to something Artificially Sweetened’s 12 year-old son might say when he is full of shit about something: “I’m pretty sure that …”

Alas. that sort of philosophy extends to the Twittiots, too. They all want to be the first to be right. Only thing is, they tweet six names and deny five when the real announcement is made.

“Sources”, “reports”, and confirmation of reports by sources are all we have now. Such bullshit!

Stay thirsty, my friends.

Eventually, calm and reason will prevail. Right now, believe nothing. We’ll all know soon enough. Until it is official, who the hell cares, anyway? I’m not going to be spewing conjectures and unofficial, steaming cow pies.

As we build up to orgasm, you get pumped up. Then you get the official announcement and roll over and smoke a cigarette.

Get back to work!

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…
