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

Yoo Hoo!

Posted on August 17, 2019 Written by The Nittany Turkey

Another Penn State football season is nigh, and this turkey is way the hell behind getting up to speed. Therefore, my pre-season prediction is somewhere between 12-0 and the BCS Championship and 5-7 and no post-season. Are you rrrrrready?

Actually, I’ve been busier’n a cat tryin’ to hide shit on a sidewalk, so I wanted to let all six of you readers (unless there has been further attrition of the subscriber base) know that I’m still alive and kickin’, at least for the moment! Hope the same is true on your end!

Here’s hopin’ that y’all’s ready for another season of thrills, spills, and chills and we can avoid being Vandalized at the outset!

(I’ll be back sometime before the Idaho game with my discombobulated thoughts on the subject).

With a Broken Foot Already, He Played

Posted on January 2, 2019 Written by The Nittany Turkey

Kentucky 27, Penn State 24

Yeah, well you all know the story by now. Trace McSorley played his heart out with a broken foot in a losing effort against Kentucky in the Citrus Bowl. It was a fitting, albeit painful, end to his record-setting Penn State career. He could have sat out the second half but it was his choice to play.

The vaunted Penn State defense was unable to contain the Kentucky running game, as Phil Grosz promised they would. In my tacit keys to the game I mentioned holding Benny Snell, Jr. to under 100 yards, but he wound up with 144 and two touchdowns. It was enough. The Nittany Lions fell short in their effort to come back from a 27-7 lead. [Read more…]

Deploy the Litter Box

The Cats Are A-Comin’

The Nittany Lions got a New Year’s Day bowl, but they’re gazing at the “six” of the New Year’s Six. Not that they deserved the honor or anything, but I’ll have you know that the Gators, who were beaten by — guess who? Kentucky — got the Peach Bowl vs Michigan, who walloped Penn State, and you get it — I’m rambling.

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…
