The season’s predictions from The Nittany Turkey’s team of experts are now in, and I want to present them all here before the season starts.

| Season | 6-6 | 8-4 | 10-2 | 7-5 |
Big Al opines that the team will have a rocky year, while K. John believes that due to strength of schedule (or lack of same), they’ll drop only two games, namely Ohio State and Moo U. Joe and this turkey are somewhere in between, with Joe being the more sanguine of the two of us.
There is a consistent feeling among the Turkey pundits, albeit without any concrete evidence to suggest it, that Penn State will become bowl eligible this year. All the above predictions would create bowl eligibility. Big Al and K. John made no venue prediction. Joe proposed that the Pinstripe Bowl would be a likely venue, and Pitt a potential opponent. TNT feels that the facetiously named, mythical Toilet Bowl in Kohler, Wisconsin is the appropriate bowl game to which the Nittany Lions can aspire.
Anyone else want to get in on game-by-game season predictions? Like it or lump it, I’ll give your predictions a mention after each game in my recap. Just get them to me before Croke Park.
