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

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.

Victoria ad Absurdum

Posted on October 23, 2005 Written by The Nittany Turkey

CHAMPAIGN, IL, October 22—The Nittany Lions (7-1, 4-1 Big Ten) spoiled the homecoming party for the Fighting Illini (2-5, 0-4), sending 52,000 people home early to watch the White Sox as the Lions easily prevailed in a 63-10 rout. That was the final score, but it really wasn’t that close. If the NCAA weren’t so busy worrying about political correctness, its rules committee might have to come up with a mercy killing provision to end brutal assaults like this early to save money on stadium lighting.

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…
