The Nittany Turkey

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

Irma — the Pitts

Posted on September 12, 2017 Written by The Nittany Turkey

This here turkey is muy afortunada in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma. First and foremost, we are still here. As a bonus, not only did the house hold up during hurricane force winds, but I never lost power. ?????? ??????? The estimate being bandied about by the media is that 60% of Floridians are without power. Ice is selling out at reopened stores as soon as it is delivered to the store. A neighborhood a half-mile away from me is flooded, as are many other Florida neighborhoods, from Key West to Jacksonville. The cleanup is going well — neighbors helping neighbors — and people are getting back to watching football again.

Football Back to Front Seat

Speaking of football, there was that Pitt game. I’m sure that by this time you’re all well aware of the 33-14 win and the pluses and minuses of the Nittany Lions’ performance. ????? ?????? Nevertheless, I’ll give you a few dumbass observations from the turkey. [Read more…]

Iron City Light

#4 Nittany Lions to Host Pitt Panthers

Pitt PanthersThe main title of this post is the name of a detestable brew that is a favorite of Pitt Panthers fans: Iron City Light. Known by the Pittsburgh locals (aka “yinzers”) as IC Light, it inspires me to repeat an old riddle:

Q: Why is IC Light like making love in a canoe?
A: They’re both fucking close to water!

(Well, given the impending storm and a possible impending sinus infection, this was the best my addled brain could dredge up for the occasion.)

The Pitt Panthers (1-0, 0-0 ACC) come to St. Joe Stadium at Beaver to play the #4 Nittany Lions (1-0, 0-0 B1G) at 3:30 on Saturday afternoon. Penn State, as you know, just shut out Akron 52-0, while Pitt blew a 21-point lead and had to beat Youngstown State in overtime. Florida State’s loss to Alabama, coupled with USC’s suckage, gave PSU a boost in the polls from #6 to #4. [Read more…]

Nittany Lions Zip Past Zipless Zips, 52-Zip

Posted on September 4, 2017 Written by The Nittany Turkey

First Opening Shutout in Over 10 Years

The #6 Penn State Nittany Lions (1-0, 0-0 Big Ten) roared back from their soporific summer, pulverizing the penurious Akron Zips (0-1, 0-0 MAC) at home in St. Joe Memorial Stadium at Beaver by a convincing score of 52-0. Convincing of precisely what, I don’t know, but hell, it ended the football drought, and that was something, already! Moreover, this win started the season with a bang, being the first opening day shutout since the Lions administered a similar shellacking to FIU (59-0) in 2007. [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…
