The season is over. Gonzaga defeated Oregon State in last night's WCC semifinal. Here is Joe Londergan's recap:
www.si.com/college/oreg...
Fire up the coaching search. Beaver Nation, who do you want?
The Wayne Tinkle era at Oregon State is on the brink.
The 2025-26 Beavers men's basketball team plays another knockout game tonight: the WCC semis vs Gonzaga.
Here is Joe Londergan on last night's quarterfinal win:

Oregon State MBB holds on by a point to beat San Francisco and advance to the WCC semis tomorrow.
Next up: top-seeded Gonzaga tomorrow night. The Zags swept OSU during the regular season.
My full attention is now on the second half of the WCC men's basketball quarterfinal, where Oregon State is leading San Francisco.
The ladies won today. Then the baseball team won. Can Wayne Tinkle's troops make it three-for-three?
Two teams showed up at Goss Stadium today. One team scored two runs. The other scored seventeen runs.
Here is my recap of Oregon State's dominant showing in front of their home fans:
www.si.com/college/oreg...
The Beavers are so far ahead of Xavier that I'm looking up all-time Oregon State baseball records.
The most runs the Beavers have ever scored in a game is 36 (36-12 vs Chico State in 1985), so that record is likely safe tonight.
The Oregon State Beavers on SI writers' Slack channel is cracking jokes about this baseball blowout
My reaction to Oregon State tacking on runs up 14-0 versus Xavier in the sixth.
Lizzy Williamson's 20 points and 16 boards powered Oregon State past Portland, 60-50. Here's @sevejohn.bsky.social John Severs' recap for Oregon State Beavers on SI.

The Beavs' run back to the big dance continues tomorrow at noon versus WCC #1 seed Loyola Marymount.
To repeat as West Coast Conference tournament champions, @beaverwbb.bsky.social need to go through murderer's row.
3 games in 3 days against 3 of their toughest foes. Before today's quarterfinal, read this in-depth preview by John Severs @sevejohn.bsky.social

New year, same Beavers.
The 3x national champion Oregon State baseball team might drop a few early games in Surprise or Texas but they always find their groove eventually.
Their win streak is now 4 games.

I am not a racing expert, but my roommate (an old college fraternity brother I've known for 15 years) is a diehard F1 fan and he turned me on to it.
What I love about Max is his killer instinct. Racing means something different to Max than any other driver on the circuit. He's amazing.
Earlier this week, Wayne Tinkle shared a few reasons why his Oregon State tenure is approaching its final chapter.

Here is my piece on one early Oregon State men's basketball coaching candidate - who checks off a ton of boxes - Portland State coach Jase Coburn.

I am a lifelong, diehard Raiders fan. I've lived through so many nerve-wracking, faith-shattering, and woefully embarassing moments.
Of course they trade the best player they've had since Khalil Mack, and of course they trade him for peanuts, just like the Mack trade.
Here are Ben Pahl's thoughts on what could be the final week of the Wayne Tinkle era at Oregon State:

Ace cis guy here, with a lot of trans friends. They've jokingly called me an egg because I'm their token cis friend, but thats all it is, a harmless joke.
Really nice showing for Oregon State baseball tonight against the arch-rival Oregon Ducks. 7-3 so far in the top of the 7th.
Great piece here and you have my respect for calling it like you see it. Hopefully Jeff recognizes that.

Darkplace mentioned. Such a great show.
PSA for any fellow Riveters and other #RCTID #BAON faithful who don't want to wear a billboard for fascism.
Here is my game recap of Oregon State's narrow escape in Frisco this morning.
Thanks to an early home run from sophomore Adam Haight, who hit his first ever OSU homer less than twenty-four hours ago, the Beavers beat Iowa 4-3.

Oregon looms large on Tuesday.
Oregon State's defense has let them down in the second half in Santa Clara. They need to respect the Santa Clara three-point shot, so they're giving up a lot of space inside the arc.
I'm generally a big fan of when clubs take their time to interview a candidate thoroughly - that's one of the best lessons of the classic book Soccernomics - but I'm perplexed at how the Thorns swapped a fired coach who couldn't win the big one for another fired coach who couldn't win the big one.
