The Nittany Turkey

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

Second Half Redemption (of Gift Certificate)

Posted on September 10, 2018 Written by The Nittany Turkey

#11 Penn State (2-0) 51, Lowly Pitt (1-1) 6

We didn’t know what to expect (other than rain), but these Nittany Lions appear to be mudders, beating the Pitt muthas 51-6 in a steady downpour Saturday night at Heinz Field. They outslopped the sloppy and disjointed Pitt Panzers — yawohl!

At halftime, PSU Head Coach James Franklin must have said, “Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth, boys! They want to give it to you, so GO TAKE IT!” When all was said and done, the mighty Lions crossed the wire in a walkover with the lesser cats trailing by 45 lengths.

Our winning commentator this week is PSUDROZZ, who predicted a 42-21 rout. He gave Pitt too much credit, but he was the only one of you who didn’t expect a fairly close game and who invoked Pitt Hate Week, besides. Honorable Mention to Big Al, who asserted that PSU typically does well the next game or two after a closely contested win. [Read more…]

Heather Likes the Panthers in This One

Early Road Game With Traditional Rival of Yore

What’s this Heather Likes stuff? Oh yeah, Heather Lyke is the University of Pittsburgh AD. She’s their Sandy Barbour. I bet RD would go for her athletic looks. Just a hunch.

Heather came to Pitt from Brick Dick U., where she was also AD, but as an undergraduate at Michigan her sport was softball. She was captain of the Mishugganah Wolverines’ softball team before she earned a J.D. at University of Akron School of Law.

I think this overachieving Heather is a good catch for Pitt, until she decides to wait for an opening in Ann Arbor. She also favors getting the Pitt-PSU rivalry going again, but that’s not Lykely to happen for another decade, if at all. [Read more…]

Bullet Dodged, and That Ain’t Livermush!

Posted on September 2, 2018 Written by The Nittany Turkey

Lions Nearly Snockered by Hillbillies

We had ’em all the way! Yeah, right. The Nittany Lions (1-0) got out of this one by the skin of their teeth, needing an overtime period and a fortuitous interception by Amani Oruwariye to overcome the Appalachian State Moonshiners 45-38.

Poor Showing by PSU Defense and Special Teams

Giving up 38 points in regulation? Giving up 451 total yards? Giving up a 100-yard kickoff return? Squandering a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter? OMG OMG WTF? Is this a Penn State defense? Rebuilding or reloading? How about reviling? [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…
