The Nittany Turkey

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

Purge the Purple Wildpussies

Posted on October 3, 2017 Written by The Nittany Turkey

Nooner with Northwestern

Northwestern UniversityThe mighty #4 Penn State Nittany Lions (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten) travel to Ryan Field to take on the Northwestern Wildcats (2-2, 0-1 B1G). Noon starts on the road, particularly those in front of an apathetic, sparse Ryan Field crowd, are problematical for Penn State. Why should this one be any different? Hell, at the beginning of the year, I predicted that this would be the Waterloo for Napoleon Franklin and his hubris-hampered army, the veritable denouement of PSU’s 2017 B1G title hopes.

That was then and this is now. In the words of the noncommittal parent and our national parental unit, President Donald J. Trump, “we’ll see.”

The Wildcats of Northwestern, aka the Wildpussies, are coming off an interesting game with the #10 Wisconsin Badgers in which they took an unexpected 10-7 lead into the locker room at halftime, then fell behind and mounted a comeback, but wound up losing 33-24. Still, the Badgers had their hands full of pussyfur. (I don’t know where this pussy thing is going yet.

Braggin’ Rights

Posted on October 1, 2017 Written by The Nittany Turkey

Our #4 Nittany Lions (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten) beat the Indiana Hoosiers (2-2, 0-2 Big Ten) in a packed St. Joe Memorial Stadium at Beaver. Final score was 45-14.

So, hey, didn’t I tell you that there would be a Saquon Barkley kickoff return for a TD and a J-Shun Harris punt return for a TD? Am I a seer, or what? (Of course, the J-Shun punt return went the other way, but who’s counting?).

My final score of 44-24 fell short of the mark, though. I told you to take the over. So I wasn’t all that prescient, but PSU covered the spread, anyway. [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…
