She went after a girl who in a contest naming dog breeds answered Tres Tinkle for one....I thought that was funny, guessing J Tinkle didn't and she went after the young lady who made the comment....didn't seem justified. Deleted specifics... but it wasn't one brief instance Not only not justified, but over the top crazed. We talked to the girl and her friends on the way to her dorm. At first she thought she was being sarcastic and making fun of her. Then it became serious and scarily angry. It was BS... plain and simple. And it is not the first time she has had outbursts vs players and fans. Was at the game close to the girl that Joslyn went over to. I had talked to her before she went out there and she was planning on saying names of some of the players as a joke, I also thought that it was unnecessary for Joslyn to do what she did, but after the game she did make a point of giving the girl a thumbs up and a go beavs as she was walking out.
Regardless of that, the game was a fantastic win for the team and showed grit and determination to get it done without Tres out there. Huge shoutout to Stevie, WW, Vernon, KK, G, Ethan, and the entire team really. What a performance from everyone to make up for Tres' absence. The atmosphere was electric despite the smallish crowd and am really looking forward to UCLA on Sunday.

You just called her out on this public venue so your specific reasons are important. J Tinkle has become a sideline fixture at Gill and if she is acting OOC in public there is no reason for it to be secret. Why a student would name OSU basketball players in a list of dog breeds, knowing it’s going up live on the video board seems more than a little strange - to me.

Guess you had to be there to see it. That's what you miss when you are not there live. I admire you guys trying to interest people in going to the game instead of just watching it on tv.

The day I decide to spend that amount of time to travel to Corvallis and get back at 2am so I can eye witness something that happens in the crowd is the day I need my head examined!

Interesting night. Many things happened. Most of them good, all of them worth noting:
Take away the beavs top scorer and this happens: Stevie Thompson gets real confident.
Bennie Beaver can beat Bennie Boatwright even on Bennie Boatwright's best day. Bennie Boatwright seemed shocked his big day just didn't matter. The rematch should be interesting.
Kylor Kelley has a 7 foot wingspan according to the tv announcers. Well he is 7 feet. Seems like it should be more, considering his elongation. Yeah the tv announcers are garbage. Only a fool believes what they say.
Kelley is not a good free throw shooter yet. He needs to work on his stroke a bit .
Kelley destroyed SC's confidence in the paint. He literally had SC Rakocevic talking to himself.
Stevie Thompson is nails at the free throw line when it counts. Beavs as a team were only 16-23 at the line but they made the late ones that mattered.
Warren Washington is improving. He still gets lost on D sometimes but the effort is there and he moves his feet well. He is athletic and long and the beavs need him to continue to contribute.
Vernon plays with an assertive attitude. He commits to everything he does out there.
one more thing: i don't know why the myth was perpetuated for so long, but SC Rakocevic is only a distant relative to Glig, if at all. That explains the lack of grabass and brotherly hijinx when the two face off on the court.

Kelley destroyed SC's confidence in the paint. He literally had SC Rakocevic talking to himself.This. Rakocevic came into the game averaging 15 and 10 (and went 25/9 versus the bay area schools last weekend) and by mid-2nd half he basically stopped looking at the hoop. Finished 2-11, 6pts, 7 rebounds. Glad we only have to see Boatright 1 more time (maybe 2x incl P12 tourney). It's been a long 7 years of seeing him.

What a fun game to watch. Great game for the Beavers. Seems like everyone who played contributed at least something.
What can you say about Stevie's offensive game. Yeah, there was a little too much hero ball at times, but that is bound to happen when you're a senior and second leading scorer on the team and the leading scorer on the team doesn't play. Obviously the points were huge, but he also had 9 defensive rebounds and 5 assists. I thought overall he did a pretty good job of passing off on some drives.
Kelley came up big with 7 blocks, and played 28 minutes with only 1 foul. I noticed that he has a knack for almost jumping up and back a little to avoid contact, but with his length can still get the block. Not much in the way of an offensive game for him, but Big G got 10 and Washington even chipped in with 7.
Both Washington and Vernon gave some big minutes. Love the fact that Vernon can hit his free throws, which makes him a viable option at the end of the game when they need another ball handler.
Reichle and Hollins probably had the least positive impact on the game. I wish Hollins could get out of his funk because I think he can give the team more than Reichle. Reichle isn't a bad player, I just don't think he's a 30 minute player in conference games at this point. But Hollins, just isn't getting it done. And he lost minutes to Washington in this game in large part because of the Boatwright match up. But give Hollins credit, he did have 5 rebounds and 2 assists.
Here's hoping Tres is back for the Bruins game. I think they're going to need him to win this game.

Fun game. Wasn’t impressed with how we tried to kill the clock on every possession and go Stevie iso for the last six minutes and OT, but we held on for the win. Kelley is amazing, didn’t have much on offense tonight but more than made up for it on the other end. Stevie has the kind of game senior leaders have to have when your leading scorer is out. Vernon and Washington hopefully earned more minutes after tonight. Allowing Tres and Stevie to get a couple more minutes rest early in games might help us close out a few more down the stretch. Reichle looked timid on offense and just had bad matchups with everyone on the other end. He’ll have better days. Boatwright was a mismatch for every guy we tried to put on him. Joslyn is my favorite Tinkle. I want her to coach my kids. She cheers harder than most players play This isn't the place to go in depth about a person who is not directly affiliated with OSU. BUT, she is indirectly and needs to behave as such. First, you or anyone can have your opinions, but the above only means you do not know her very well. Some would use "competitiveness" as an excuse, but it goes beyond that. Her halftime and post game actions were embarrassing and deserve attention by the athletic department. The issue was passed on by several people in her area, and I'm sure the girl's parents, at whom her actions were directed will follow up. Believe me "cheering" is no indicator you'd want her to coach your kids. Her antics were actually a downer during a GREAT win... I thought I was making a lighthearted joke, but you took me seriously. I didn't think I needed to clarify that the four minutes of watching someone on TV didn't really make me want to entrust her with my children. It's like saying I want to marry Anne Hathaway based on the interview I saw on Jimmy Fallon or something. What I saw on TV was an extremely passionate fan who was kind of like the Beavs version of a younger Mark Cuban. It played well on TV, and was the kind of thing that gets OSU a little extra time on SportsCenter...which is definitely a good thing in my opinion. As for "going after" the girl who made the poor attempt at a joke by saying Tres Tinkle was a dog breed....can you imagine what would be happening right now if she had said Stevie Thompson or Alfred Hollins? We'd never have another in game contest again and that girl would never be allowed back into Gill Coliseum and in all likelihood have to transfer. That girl should consider herself lucky all she got was a stern talking to from the sister.

Here's hoping Tres is back for the Bruins game. I think they're going to need him to win this game. Hollins really struggled. He looked like a baby deer taking his first steps on some of his drives. Not sure what's going on with him, but he's not doing anything that makes me thing he deserves more minutes. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Vernon played at all in the second half, and only got in once the game got to overtime? That seemed like a mistake to me given the way he played in the first half. Glad he got back on the court in OT. Agree about Reichle. I think his offense suffered last night because he was having to work so hard on D to try to contain Boatwright and others. Tall, quick wing players are a real tough cover for him. He can give you good minutes in spurts though.

Here's hoping Tres is back for the Bruins game. I think they're going to need him to win this game. Hollins was pretty smooth on his two clutch free throws. I just think he's still pressing a little instead of letting the game come to him. I am sure the coaches want him to be aggressive but he hasn't found his gear between passive and out of control. Some players have a knack for being "assertive" and committing to the action, whatever it is, without overplaying. Hollins is only just a year and a half into his college career. Patience.

I just think the matchups were bad for Alfred and Zach. It's tough sometimes being a "tweener" like those two. Boatwright is 6'10" and can shoot . . . not a great matchup for Alfred. Zach faced Aaron and Porter Jr - he gives up a couple inches on both of them and I think a little quickness. Washington and Ethan just matched up better for us.
Credit the coaches for giving Washington the minutes to settle in against Boatwright. It would have been easy to take him out too soon - BB pretty much ate WW alive for a long time there - and if we had, I don't think we get those final stops.

As for Vernon - coach says that he was cramping and word didn't get back to Tinkle that he was Ok to go. So Vernon sat a lot longer than he should have.

He hasn't gotten a lot of minutes, but overall I'm happy about Vernon. Wasn't really expecting much from him and he's shown he can contribute. Gives me some hope that maybe Vernon and the new incoming true PG Hunt can handle that position well enough to slide Ethan into Stevie's spot next season.
