I saw the whole thing and she was definitely out of control, and would not let it go. It is embarrassing as a Beaver fan that this has gotten as much attention as the game itself. But she was calling this girl names and publicly berating her. And I walked out of Gill next to the student who was still visibly shaken. People were asking her if she was ok, and she would answer fine but you could tell she wasn’t. I truely believe Joslyn should apologize to the student and to Beaver nation. I applaud her passion for OSU and her obvious love for her family, but Joslyn went WAY over the line.

Players with attitude and chips... great. Family members, no thx Jos herself was a supurb basketball player for Stanford and had a brief professional career. She is an ultra-competitive person in an ultra competitive family that by all reports is very close. Probably not surprising she is intimidating. She is 6-3". She'd tower over me! I didn't see anything with my own eyes. So I will reserve judgement. Unless she is out there throwing punches or being some kind of a major distraction, I would say this might be much ado about nothing. I dunno. Didn't see it. I do agree representatives of OSU, and that includes coaches and player's families, need to act with class while at OSU events, in the minimum. Hopefully all this takes is a little talking too about reminder her to keep her cool, and not feed the trolls. Heck. that is good advice for all of us. BS... excuse. In Gill she is a FAN. That's it. Her family connections give her no right to act as she did. PERIOD. Her past twitter (and her siblings) and other incidents she's been admonished for (more private but involve statements to/about Tres's teammates) show this is not an isolated incident. It's arrogance and entitlement. And my past mention of team friction/relationships is maybe a bit more clear/understandable to some. Enough... said it was enough words wasted on such a person earlier, but to slide it under the guise of being ok because of a close knit, competitive family is utter BS!

Ya know......she sounds to me a little like a bully. (actually, not a little....a lot) I'm a teacher and I work with 10-11 year old kids. And one thing we constantly tell kids is to not be bystanders. In other words, if you see someone being treated like that, and you don't stand up to help, you're complicit. Now that's easier said than done of course, and I don't know how it all went down. People there were probably shocked and didn't know how to respond I'm guessing. But if this is indeed a pattern, people around her need to step in and say something. The problem is that people like this (think Trump) - they're surrounded by sycophants, and rarely get that dose of realistic perspective that most of us would get if we behaved in such a way....

I’m still puzzled why that girl thought giving our injured star player’s name as a ‘breed of dog’ was okey-dokey and wouldn’t elicit some blowback. She apparently wanted some attention. Guess what, she got it.

Very true. I am thankful though that all the mistakes I made at age 19 weren't plastered all over the Internet for all time forward. Or, maybe they are. I just don't spend enough time searching to have found them yet...

WereBeaver. What the girl said was stupid, no doubt. And had Joslyn said so as she walked by, fine. But she continually berated her, called her a b**ch multiple times to her face before the girl even went back to the student section. Then Joslyn got up and yelled at her from across the long side of the court. And for good measure she got up, walked all the way down to the girl and berated her for a couple of more minutes in front of all the students and fans. It was one of the most childish moments I’ve seen from the “adult” of the situation. If my 7 year old daughter had done what she did I would have made her apologize in front of everyone, let alone a grown woman. It was ridiculous. There’s no denying what the student said was silly and dumb but give me a break. Grow up Joslyn, and seriously, get over yourself.

Most people think I am a nice guy, but take it from a dad who got red-carded at one of his kid's soccer games back in the day, something about sports and family can make even nice guys go a bit over the top. Nice guys finish last, or finish the soccer game sitting in the car waiting for the rest of the family, sigh The guy in the car waiting for his family doesn't sound very "nice" to me He was probably in a cold sweat waiting for the Mrs. to give him a "stern talking to" however
Go Beavs!!

One thing I learned attending high school wrestling meets for a few decades. The most intense, at times over the top, fans are the mothers, sisters and girlfriends. So nothing described here about Joslyn Tinkle surprises me in the least. Nothing new under the sun.

Just trying to offer some needed perspective where it appears to be missing. Reading some of thes posts you’d think some poor student got their teeth kicked in by a rampaging big sister. Good grief.

I’m siding with Werebeaver on this one. Was Joslyn out of line? Sure. But we’ve now made her out to be some sort of deranged monster that was able to make an entire student section cower in fear at her wrath. We’ve also compared her to Donald Trump. We’re a couple posts away from proving Godwin's Law here because a girl got mad her brother was called a dog and reacted angrily.

I guess we're not losing on the court so we have to create some other way of being losers. Not excusing any misbehavior that went beyond the bounds of the moment, but we're 10-4, and 2-0 in the pac-12, dammit let's celebrate.!

He was offered a preferred walk-on at Oregon State but took a scholarship at Tulsa. His fifth year there he finally started and was in some Heisman watches until about week 11. Anyway, his mother at the high school games - holy cow!

More importantly, did she name more dogs than Tres?

Sister Tinkle's melt-down must have been brief or there certainly would be cell-phone video of her rant all over social media.
