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

Ten Down and One to Go

Posted on November 6, 2005 Written by The Nittany Turkey

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA, November 5—Senior Day was a smashing success as the Penn State Nittany Lions (9-1, 6-1 Big Ten) took apart the Wisconsin Badgers (8-2, 5-2) in front of the second largest crowd in Beaver Stadium history. The final score was 35–14.

This win kept the Lions’ BCS bowl hopes alive. If they win their final regular season game against Michigan State, they will win the Big Ten championship outright and with it they will get an automatic BCS bowl bid. So, while it is not yet a done deal, Penn State has taken one more giant step forward toward that lofty goal.

A Win is a Win, Right?

Posted on October 30, 2005 Written by The Nittany Turkey

UNIVERSITY PARK, October 29—Bumbling their way through a game that was widely regarded as a potential stumbling block on the way to a Big Ten championship, the #11 Nittany Lions of Penn State (8-1, 5-1 Big Ten) managed to pull off a 33-15 win over the unranked Purdue Boilermakers (2-6, 0-5). This Turkey was not impressed by much he saw in this sloppy win. Perhaps the team needed a bit of a humbling prior to preparing for the big showdown with Wisconsin next week. Or perhaps they’re not as good as they think they are.

Bumbling, stumbling, humbling… While a win is a win, I wouldn’t be earning the big bucks that all you faithful readers aren’t paying to read my drivel if I didn’t comment on what needs a lot of improvement. But first, the high points.

Mouths Wide Shut

Posted on October 26, 2005 Written by The Nittany Turkey

It was not all that long ago that the Fire Paterno bandwagon was figuratively rolling down College Avenue with scads of us doubters clamoring to hop on board. You do remember that, don’t you?

“Where is that bandwagon now?” you ask.

I think I have the answer to that burning question. While the Fire Paterno bandwagon has not been seen around State College recently, I have it on good information that the pathetic, riderless wagon has been spotted somewhere around Johnstown, where it was last seen searching for an anonymous, out of the way garage in which to park itself. You see, at this point most of the mutineers, including one very large Turkey, have hopped off that decrepit bandwagon.

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…
