Mooooooooooooooooooooooo U.
Where has the season gone? It seems like just yesterday when this Turkey was pissin’ and moanin’ about the summer football drought and now here we are, about to close out yet another season. So, as has been our annual tradition since joining the Big Ten in 1993, we end the year with the Land Grant Trophy game against Michigan State, better known as Moo U.
If you have never gazed at the Land Grant Trophy (left), take a good look. Click on the thumbnail at left to see a larger picture of this monstrosity. ???? ?????? (The big one is too ugly to post on this page, and it might scare small children.) Ain’t it a pisser? To paraphrase Chico Harlan of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, it looks like a Rubik’s Cube that has spent an hour in the mouth of a rottweiler. To this Turkey, it appears to have been designed by committee—in the fourth grade art class at McCabe Elementary. OK, enough about this hunk of —

Paterno Gets Game Ball As PSU Steamrolls Temple
UNIVERSITY PARK, PA, November 11 — The Nittany Lions (7–4, 4–3 Big Ten) blanked the hapless Temple Owls (1–9) by the biggest margin this season, 47–0. Temple is so bad that this Turkey cannot extrapolate anything on the basis of this game. Whether the Lions can beat Michigan State next week is still a big question.
One thing is for sure: PSU hasn’t solved any of its offensive problems. Morelli still stares down receivers and gets intercepted. The offensive line still sucks. Receivers still drop catchable balls. The offensive unit still stalls in the red zone, even against the worst damn defenses in organized football. Today, they still could convert only five of thirteen third downs. Today, they still turned the ball over twice. They still look out of sync, as if this were September, not November. So, we cannot glean much from this game other than business as usual for the damn offense.
