Primarily about Penn State football, this is a tale told by idiots, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
As the remaining hours of 2005 wind down, The Nittany Turkey wishes all of you a happy new year. May your year be healthy, happy, and prosperous, and may it start with an Orange Bowl win and later give Joe Paterno the undefeated season he craves. Celebrate safely and happily and we’ll see you all in 2006!
Sincerely,
TNT
The Titans’ opening touchdown drive notwithstanding, the Steelers looked great last Sunday, responding with 34 unanswered points and a 34-7 victory. The game featured a smashing performance by third-string running back Willie Parker, who rang up 161 yards rushing. Meanwhile, second-year quarterback Ben Roethlisberger achieved a perfect 158.3 quarterback rating, going 9-11 for 218 yards, two touchdowns, and no sacks or interceptions. These sparkling performances erased a couple of major question marks about the Steelers’ season that had been nagging this Turkey.

Matt Kranchick is a Steeler. Selected on the second day of the NFL draft this year, he has made it to the final, 53-man regular season roster. ???? ??? ????? The Nittany Turkey congratulates him on this achievement.
The Steelers do not expect an immediate contribution from Kranchick, but they believe he can potentially help the team. ????? ?????? ????? ?????? Kranchick is the only player selected on the second day who made the team. ????? ??????
“You look at what (Kranchick) has done through this camp and what we really feel like he can become,” Cowher said. “I’m not so sure he is ready to do that now.”
In other roster moves involving this year’s Penn State NFL draftees, David Kimball and Sean McHugh did not survive roster cuts by their respective teams. Good luck, guys!
