I don’t. Everyone was pretty high last year from the run. I still think of it as one of the greatest moments in Beaver sports. It was everything that we expected the Tinkle teams to be like, based upon the first year and his first shot at the tourney. Even you can’t convince me that you knew last year that we’d be sitting at just three wins this far in the season after an amazing run. How? How can a program that made a good run at the tourney do so poorly the next year? That run was because of one huge statistical fluke. In the 6 straight tourney wins, every opponent shot under 25% from 3… the most important stat in basketball. Even the most elite defenses don’t defend that well. It was a fluke. Or good perimeter defense.

Would you like an apology? Some self-debasing confession of our ignorance? Would you like us to acknowledge that your knowledge and judgment are far superior to ours? Shall we never post again because we have shown such horrendous basketball knowledge? Very well. You, sir, are a genius. Your knowledge and judgement of basketball is vastly superior to mine and, frankly, to the vast majority of "fans" out there. Congratulations on the crystal-clear insight that led you to understand that a contract extension for Tinkle at the end of the 20-21 season was not in OSU's best interests. I cannot speak to the mindset of anyone else who defended a contract extension for a man who took OSU further than anyone had in 55 years,* but I must confess that I fell for it and thought we should sign an extension for a man that got us our first non-vacated NCAA win in 46 years (right around the time when disco exploded). I apologize. It is because of "fans" like me that OSU is now burdened with Wayne Tinkle's contract for far longer that it would have been if OSU had just had the courage and insight to sit on his then-current contract and offer no reward for something that had not been seen at Oregon State since the Johnson administration.* We should all write AD Barnes to inform him that the Oregon State University Athletic Department would be in far better shape if they consulted you before any contractual and other coaching decisions are made. I bow to your superiority. *I know you need not be reminded that OSU's wins from the 80-82 were vacated. P.S. -- Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky is probably the single finest bourbon I have ever had in its price-range. A simple you were right would have sufficed. But whatever. "A simple 'You were right.' would have sufficed." Fixed it for you.

Hard to call something a fluke if it happened in every game. I would argue, and I think the dictionary would back me up, that it is the exact opposite of a fluke: consistency.

Their perimeter D through that run was better than the best defenses of all time. Watch the games. Missed open threes over and over. Also coincided with empty arenas. Do the math

Do the math Can’t make 3’s in an empty arena. What kind of math is that?

Their perimeter D through that run was better than the best defenses of all time. Watch the games. Missed open threes over and over. Also coincided with empty arenas. Do the math So it was a fluke that every team we faced through that run experienced poor 3 point shooting? You’re still sticking with that? I’m not saying anything about the Beaver D or the opponents’ shooting, except that nothing is a fluke if it happens consistently. What caused this to occur during this particular stretch of games is not for me to say…and not for you to say either since you think it had something to do with empty arenas. Instead of doing math, try doing a little English.

I’m a season ticket holder. And sad to say I didn’t pay a lick of attention to this game. Sad. It’s hard to watch. Wish they’d do better. I don’t have magic comments nor answers.
