The Nittany Turkey

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

Good Teams Make Good Teams Look Bad

Posted on September 25, 2016 Written by The Nittany Turkey

But they make bad teams look even worse.

The Number Four Michigan Wolverines (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) dominated our hapless Penn State Nittany Lions (2-2, 0-1) for sixty minutes at da Big House on Saturday, cruising to a 49-10 victory while slicing through the depleted PSU defense like a hot knife through butter. [Read more…]

I’m Taking the Michigan and the Over

Michigan Opens As 16-Point Favorite over Penn State

My headline gives away my prediction, sorta. I’m picking Michigan, so you don’t have to read the rest if you don’t have time. I just got a phone call that ruined my day, so I don’t want to ruin yours.

I tell ya, we don’t get no respect. Not only did our Penn State Nittany Lions (2-1, 0-0 Big Ten) get dissed on the starting board as 16-point ‘dogs as they travel to Ann Arbor to face the Michigan Wolverines (3-0, 0-0) in da Big House, but also the spread rapidly widened to 19. The early money is all meshuganah Michiganders’ and the mamas who love them.

University of MichiganOy, vey, what have we gotten ourselves into here, already? I mean, this is close to the spread that was established for Notre Dame and Duke, for Pete’s sake!

Michigan is probably overrated, but they’re riding high on a 3-0 start in this early season wherein the only obstacles have been patsies. The Wolverines mauled Hawaii 63-3 in the season opener, then dismantled UCF 51-14, and shuffled off the Colorado Buffaloes 45-28, thus winning them there games by the combined score of 159-45. (I saved you the trouble of adding them yourselves. You’re welcome.) [Read more…]

Underwhelming, undermotivated, underachieving…

Posted on November 22, 2015 Written by The Nittany Turkey

Michigan 28, Penn State 16

White-out notwithstanding, Penn State (7-4, 4-3 Big Ten) couldn’t capitalize on errors by its opponents and gifts from officials as they lost to Michigan (9-2, 6-1 Big Ten) 28-16. This Michigan win, coupled with the Ohio State loss to Moo U., sets up next week’s twin battles for the right to represent the East in the Big Ten Championship game. [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…
