The Nittany Turkey

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

Yesterday in History: Joe’s 409th

Posted on October 30, 2012 Written by The Nittany Turkey

In spite of Mark Emmert’s best efforts to denigrate the accomplishments of the late Joseph V. Paterno, it is important to note that a year ago, Joe went where no man in Division I had gone, notching his 409th victory by beating Illinois 10-7. What Emmert took away and the BoT agreed to, we recognize here. Those players still played, the games were still won, and Joe Paterno ranks among the greatest college football coaches of all time.

The Turkey apologizes for being a day late and a dollar short with this recognition.

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.
