The Nittany Turkey

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

Second Half Team Rides Again!

Posted on November 27, 2016 Written by The Nittany Turkey

Penn State 45, Moo U. 12

The mighty #7 Penn State Nittany Lions (10-2, 8-1 Big Ten) defeated the struggling Michigan State Spartans (3-9, 1-8), better known as Moo U., to recapture the crappy Land Grant Trophy. The final score was 45-12. More importantly, the Nittany Lions will be playing in the Big Ten Championship. [Read more…]

Rumor Mill: PSU Working on Franklin Extension

Posted on November 25, 2016 Written by The Nittany Turkey

What, they think Texas will hire him?

With all of this going on, I’m hearing Penn State is aggressively trying to get an extension done with James Franklin.

Wolken is a sports reporter for USA Today.

Now, until we see some official word, this is just rumor, and, of course, we probably won’t see any official word until it’s a done deal.  [Read more…]

Moo U. in the Way for Penn State, Maybe, Perhaps

Land Grant Trophy

Saturday Excitement or Anticlimax — Take Your Pick

Land Grant Trophy - Michigan State vs. Penn State
Oy, vey! The abominable Land Grant Trophy, which is awarded to the winner of the formerly annual Michigan State vs. Penn State football game.

By kickoff time of Saturday’s game pitting the #8 Penn State Nittany Lions (9-2, 7-1 Big Ten) against the abysmally performing Michigan State Spartans (3-8, 1-7 Big Ten), we’ll know whether it is to be just another game or the last hurdle in the path of Penn State’s surprising drive toward the Big Ten Championship game.

Unless you’ve been sleeping through the past few weeks, you know that two things stand in the way of a berth in the bigass game in Indianapolis. The first is the Michigan vs. Ohio State game; the second is the Michigan State vs. Penn State game. Should Ohio State win its game at 12:00 noon, the stage is set for the biggest game for the Nittany Lions in I don’t know how long, already. If not, then Penn State and Moo U. play for the Land Grant Trophy, which no one wants.

Kickoff time in St Joe Memorial Stadium at Beaver is 3:30 PM. Unless UM vs. tOSU goes into overtime at the Horseshoe, we’ll know what Moo U. represents. The Nittany Lions will want to win in either case, whether it is to get to the championship game or to impress the bowl committees (and win a crappy trophy).  [Read more…]

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…
