Way to end the season!

The Nittany Turkey | November 22nd 2009

This will be brief due to the hour, but I wanted to express my delight that the Nittany Lions made me look like an idiot. Yeah, I predicted that they would lose, as I had given up any hope of special teams competence, and I still wasn’t comfort read more

OMG — WTF??

The Nittany Turkey | November 16th 2009

Oh, sure, this Turkey thought that Penn State would get off to a slow start on Saturday. After all, it was a 12:00 P.M. start, and those are problematical. Furthermore, the troops had to be demoralized after the big loss at home at the behest of the read more

Don’t Bail on Us!

The Nittany Turkey | November 12th 2009

Lions Man Up after Three Sissified Quarters

The Nittany Turkey | November 2nd 2009

Remember the title of my pre-game post? To refresh your memory, it was Trap Games Are for Sissies. So, what happened on Saturday could have produced a really disgusting article from me here today, as the #12 Nittany Lions (8-1, 4-1 Big Ten) did indee read more

A Long, Long Time

The Nittany Turkey | October 22nd 2009

It has been a long, long time since Penn State won at Michigan Stadium. You’d have to flash back to the Wally Richardson era to visualize that win, a 29-17 butt kicking by the Lions. Hell, wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator Mike Mc read more

Reed Puts the Special in Special Teams

The Nittany Turkey | October 19th 2009

Happy Homecoming

The Nittany Turkey | October 19th 2009

The Nittany Lions (6-1, 2-1 Big Ten) held the Minnesota Golden Gophers (4-3, 2-2 Big Ten) to 138 total yards in a 20-0 rout at snow ravaged Beaver Stadium. The score does not reflect the true nature of this game; it just wasn't even that close. read more
