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

“Joe Must Go” Counterpoint

Posted on Written by

No, this is not about giving Joe Paterno the bum’s rush. ???? ???? ??? It’s about a friendly rival of Joe’s, Bobby Bowden. These days, the grass grows just about as brown on Bobby’s side of the fence as it does on Joe’s.

This past weekend, after Florida State lost to Miami, an irate fan planted a “for sale” sign on Bobby’s Tallahassee front lawn. ????? ???? ????? Nasty stuff. I don’t think anyone ever did that to Joe.

Read this column by Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel calling for Bobby to depart. One minor conjecture of Bianchi’s is that both Bobby and Joe are hanging around for fear the other guy will be able to claim the most pigskin wins of all coaches. ????? ??????

Perhaps both Bobby and Joe should declare that battle a draw and move on with their lives.

Terse Tuesday

Posted on Written by

Couple of things:

  1. Jerome Hayes is out for the season with a torn ACL.
  2. Should be interesting to see whether Paterno loosens up at the press conference today.

That’s it for today and you won’t need a dictionary for this one. ????? ????????? ???????? ?

Paterno Pissed Off

Posted on Written by

The Nittany Lions’ regular Monday practice was cancelled today, reports FOS. Paterno, apparently angry at recent off-field issues, called a team meeting and advised them to come back on Tuesday. ???? ????????? ??? ?????????

Recently, we reported on the underage drinking issue with Joe Suhey and Ryan Breen. Now, rumors of yet another off-field incident have been circulating on the on-line rumor mills. ????? ????? This one involves a fight at the HUB involving 10 students. The Centre Daily Times reported on it, but no names were mentioned. This Turkey will neither speculate about which specific individuals might be involved nor will he reproduce shaky information from unconfirmed sources. ?????? ???? ??????? We will all know soon enough.
