The Nittany Turkey

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

McGloin Asks Fans to Believe

Posted on Written by

Tweeted earlier today by Penn State starting quarterback Matt McGloin:

If I have learned anything from this game, it is: “tough times don’t last, tough people do.” This program has been through some hard times. I and many others, have stayed here out of love for this university; its academic programs, teammates, our wonderful fans and tremendous student body. We, as student-athletes, are being punished for going to class, graduating, being involved in the community and playing football.

Even though these penalties are extremely harsh, I am a Nittany Lion and will remain one. I believe in the core values I have learned in this program. It is not Nittany Lion Football. It is Nittany Lion family. I encourage all players, recruits, and supporters to stay committed to the greatest football program in America. Scholarships and bowl games cannot destroy the fabric of our family. Coach O’Brien and his staff will lead us through this difficult time. All I ask is for the fans to continue to believe in us. WE ARE!

It’s Starting

Silas Redd is being courted by USC, says ESPN. This is just the start of the looting process that will decimate Penn State’s football team.

There are no penalties for players who want to transfer to other programs, per the NCAA sanctions handed down from on high yesterday.

USC isn’t the only school interested in Redd.

Coach O’Brien has told all his players that they’ll still be playing and they’ll still be televised. That’s about all he can say. He can’t promise them bowls or championships or even that the guy standing next to them will be enrolled in the fall.
