Yup, Angry taught me the benefit of ad block. Unfortunately, Wiziwig is no more, shut down by Spanish authorities. Who knew, I thought they were based in the Ukraine.
Tinkle can’t have Olaf and GPII out of the game together at the same time. Team is completely lost offensively that way. Duvivier is not a PG and it has shown the last few minutes
How many of these OSU kids are from the L.A. area? They’re playing like they’re psyched out. Or is it because I ‘ve just started watching? It was 11-4 Beavs when I tuned in.
Official blows the whistle to make the over and back call and then reverses himself saying it was an inadvertent whistle. Over and back was the right call.
Hate that ad more than anything. Makes men look like pussies or maybe I see too many of my married buddies treated that way by their wives. It’s sad, not funny.
LMW no points, he was trying to hard at the beginnng of the game, seems to have pissed Wayne off for the time being. Amazingly, only one team foul for the Beavs in the first half.
Not a bad performance considering their opponents have 3 players who were all american in high school. And I’m sure the rest of the team aren’t slouches either.
That is true but if you watched Morris-Walker film it was pretty legit, coulda been a 4*… Look at some of his highlights… But that’s the issue with the star rating it doesnt mean everything
Yeah, it’s obviously not everything. Some schools out-perform their recruiting and some under-perform it. In general, better players are more highly rated though.
Gonna be great to watch the rest of this year unfold!
I’m sure there’s still some skeptical folks that are just waiting for the other shoe to drop. We’ve seen this all before, blah blah blah. If they keep winning, folks will eventually come back.
The difference from last year in Olaf’s game is staggering. He looks so much more comfortable on the court. +26 when he was in the game tonight, +18 for GP 2. LMW with an off night -7. Duvivier 11-12 from the line. Where were all these free throw shooters last year?
The foul shooters last year were Collier going a typical 4-7 and Moreland going 2-5 and Roberto missing the front end in a key situation. Reid has impressed me, he has seriously improved his foul shooting. This years team doesn’t fuck around at the line, they especially drop them when they count.
Inferred from a couple of articles and an interview with Olaf that Rupp is spending lots of time with him. Olaf’s size and intelligence make him, in coaching terms, “coachable” It shows.
In Fla trying to follow GA and Telly around their recruits, it’s exhausting, but caught the game on my Pac12 app. Good win , was a little nervous there. But this team shoots free throws so darn well! CR didn’t have that. Go Tinkle Time!
This team, unlike last year’s, can finish a game. Great win tonite, and I really love how this team is nailing games down at the free throw line. Did I hear they are shooting some like 78% in Pac-12 play? Outstanding turn around from the last couple years, when I remember a lot of winnable games getting pissed away by tons of misses at the line..
Recruits cannot sign anything at this point in time. Must be nice to fly across the country in order to spectate a fishing trip that is essentially catch and release.
Good win but the PAC12 is definitely down this year. Likely 3 bids. The beavs could sneak in a bid if they get hot at the conference tourney. 3 more wins clinch a winning record.
Just got back from the game and like I stated above. I don’t know who those refs were but they were fucking horrible!!!! Missed several blatant travelling violations on UCLA, a blatant half court violation and then said it was an inadvertent whistle? Glad the Beavs put them away at the end though. Too many turnovers though
Moral of the story: Bryce Alford is ass. People are going to see that he had 20 points or something but they made him look like a bitch lol. Ripping him, pushing him to the side, and the most representative play was probably when Gary saw him, cocked it back, and threw it down.
We were calling him daddy’s boy all game. Then I realized the irony in that since Tres Tinkle will be here next year. I don’t think Alford is all that great anyway.
From the Gaze Times…”the Beavers improved to 11-0 on the season, the first time an OSU men’s basketball team has reached that mark since the 1979-80 squad finished 13-0 at home.”
35 Years?!
Still in awe of what WT has accomplished so far this season.
From the same article, Tinkle reveals a secret:
“The neat thing is we can challenge these guys now. Early on they didn’t know how to react to it, Now they understand that the old gary-haired guy gets a little goofy from time to time. And what it’s done is it’s brought them together. That’s probably the single-most important thing we’ve done with this group from start to finish.”
In a continuation of the Charlie Brown references – although not so much with Riley gone – “Good Grief.” I think that would be difficult especially because of all that’s happening with the mbb team.
I’m rewatching the Mike Parker interview of WT and at ~26 minutes in MP asks if there might be more news coming. (At the time of the interview OSU had already signed Derrick Bruce 6’3″ guard from Orlando, FL; Drew Eubanks 6’10” forward from Troutdale, OR; Stephen Thompson 6’3″ guard from Torrance, Ca and Tres Tinkle 6’7″ forward from Missoula, MT). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iZ8yet2t80
In his response WT alludes to a “post” that they were interested in (which turned out to be Gligorije Rakocevic 6’10” center from Polj, Montenegro) and possibly another player in the spring.
Doing some paraphrasing here: WT said that they technically have 4 scholarships but with him (WT) and Stephen Thompson being on campus there are things they can do “creatively” which would allow them to bring in another player if they felt the player could really help them. He said they were still out there actively recruiting.
So now for my questions: Am I correct in assuming that OSU could pull the scholies of Tinkle and Thompson and give those to other kids? I seem to recall that the children of coaches get some kind of a tuition break but would that mean the kids wouldn’t have access to the training table?
Has anyone heard of any rumors about kids that might have an interest in being in this class?
With the way this team is playing I would think it would have to help the coaches in their recruiting efforts; at least with the kids who are willing to play team ball.
Have you twitter wonks included basketball players in this twitter window that you-all have created? Speaking of the twitter window – – I applaud you guys for thinking of this great idea and then implementing it.
You’re correct that they could add extra players. Currently there are 5 for the 2015 class signed, but they could potentially add two more and have Tinkle and Thompson Jr. walk on. Seems excessive to sign a class of 7 in a single year, especially when they haven’t had a full recruiting cycle to pick up impact players. Also, if Togiai comes to play football at OSU (a longshot in my opinion), he would be a walk on for basketball purposes, putting the current class at 6 players for 2015.
I haven’t concentrated on non-football recruiting when it comes to the twitter window, mostly because there really isn’t much news out there right now, and everybody is interested in football with signing day a few weeks away. Probably wouldn’t be a bad idea to bring other sports in once we get past signing day. I’m totally out of the loop on baseball recruiting though, so wouldn’t be much help there.
Thanks beavblazer. Is it possible/practical to dream about having a set-up where there was a twitter window for football related tweets; another for basketball and another for baseball?
How much of the work involved in getting the tweets to appear in the window involve manual labor and how much of it is just a matter getting it set up and letting it run?
Basketball and baseball recruiting tends to happen certain times of year and in quick bursts. Football news is more an ongoing thing. If any recruiting news breaks for baseball or basketball it will be posted in the feed.
BB is probably recruiting still, but I bet a lot of that is for next year. And if it is for this class, then it’s been hush-hush. Not even sites like Rivals really cover BB recruiting. Usually we only find out a guy is being recruited once he signs. It’s weird. Maybe via twitter we’ll get more BB info over time as players tweet about who’s recruiting them, but the services don’t really follow anything but football closely.
I can’t believe that it would just be the football jocks who would be talking about meeting with coach X from where ever. So if I’m correct, it would appear that you’re twitter window could give AB a leg up on even the services.
I did see a blurb about a kid Tinkle was recruiting, some time in the past month. He was a 2015 kid. Can’t seem to find it now, but it was an indication that they’re still looking. Probably tough to do too much during the season. That’s just the thing though, 1 mention in more than a month is all I’ve seen for basketball.
I think it would be nice to have some sort of celebration for the walk-ons & practice players at the end of the season to show that their contributions are appreciated in helping get this team to where it is.
They, like the assistant coaches, get sorta lost in the shuffle somewhat. It has taken the entire conglomerate to make this team successful.
Anybody have a stream for the game? I’d like to see this one instead of just listen on the radio.
Hope you have an ad blocker :)

Major fail by LMW, missed the uncontested dunk and gets a T for hanging on the rim. I think he was surprised that he didn’t get contested at the rim.
WT sat LMW down, just to calm him down….he’s trying to score 22 points in the first half.
Sanders is brutal…
How is he as a football player?
His position is left out
Surprised how many empty seats there are.
Same.
ucla 4-18 and the score is tied. Beavs look lethargic on offense.
Gomis has hands like Boom.
Tinkle can’t have Olaf and GPII out of the game together at the same time. Team is completely lost offensively that way. Duvivier is not a PG and it has shown the last few minutes
7 TOs and we’re barely half way through the 1st half
The fact that 12-1/2 minutes in and UCLA has not been whistled for a foul is complete and utter bullshit
How many of these OSU kids are from the L.A. area? They’re playing like they’re psyched out. Or is it because I ‘ve just started watching? It was 11-4 Beavs when I tuned in.
Langston Morris-Walker is from Berkeley and Victor Robbins is from Compton. They are the only two from California. So zero right now.
Oh crap, that means it’s me.
Oh wait… 24-15 maybe it isn’t me.
Go Beavs!
Official blows the whistle to make the over and back call and then reverses himself saying it was an inadvertent whistle. Over and back was the right call.
Yup
Too bad that play is not viewable when needed.
It’s nice to see Payton be more aggressive on offense.
Live stats shows with Payton/ Schaff in the game Beavs are +16, with Sanders Beavs are -7
GP 2 ignites the crowd.
4 steals in the first half for GP 2. Half court offense not very good tonight. 29-19 at the half
Watching hard nosed D is exciting for me. I hope the Beavs stay committed to this level of D after the shooters arrive next year.
Only one Jake from State Farm commercial so far.
Hate that ad more than anything. Makes men look like pussies or maybe I see too many of my married buddies treated that way by their wives. It’s sad, not funny.
Yeah, what is it about marriage that takes the fun out of woman? I feel just like Jake from State Farm sometimes and I loath myself for it.
Need more Lily from AT&T commercials, less Jake from State Farm
I think lily is pretty hot. And the red headed chick from the Wendy’s commercials too
LMW no points, he was trying to hard at the beginnng of the game, seems to have pissed Wayne off for the time being. Amazingly, only one team foul for the Beavs in the first half.
I don’t know who these refs are but they are fucking atrocious!!!
My 15yo were at the game he turned to me at one point and made that same exact comment…funny…or not :^/
Is it just me or whenever Lamar says Norman Powell I hear Gomer Pyle lol
Haha. I thought the exact same thing.
I heard the same thing! Thought maybe that was a nickname
Haha! Best nickname ever
What did that guy in the crowd say about Brett Hundley??
I didn’t catch that… Was it when ucla was shooting free throws?
Yes, I was curious what he said too.
Uh oh.
Tell me about it… Threes are killin us
And turn overs aren’t helping any either.
The offense suddenly is horrible. They were trying to milk the clock with 8 minutes left and taking shots with 5 seconds left…not good strategy.
This where we see what kind of moxy we have. Fight or fold.
“Asiago………”
Test for a young team… We lost focus now we need to put it away
Not a bad performance considering their opponents have 3 players who were all american in high school. And I’m sure the rest of the team aren’t slouches either.
What a job WT. What a job!!
Other than blowing a 15 point lead yes… But like Tinkle said they’ve shown that they can play well so there is no excuse when they don’t
Stars matter. ;)
They mean everything! Don’t look at the tape look at the stars! ;)
Hey, GP2, Duvivier, N’diaye, Morris-Walker, Reid, Robbins, and Gomis were all 3-star guys.
Schaftenaar was unrated. Not sure if he was just off the grid or what?
That is true but if you watched Morris-Walker film it was pretty legit, coulda been a 4*… Look at some of his highlights… But that’s the issue with the star rating it doesnt mean everything
Yeah, it’s obviously not everything. Some schools out-perform their recruiting and some under-perform it. In general, better players are more highly rated though.
Gonna be great to watch the rest of this year unfold!
Schaftenaar was unrated. Not sure if he was just off the grid or what?
It was the wooden clogs.
So.. racism?!

#WeWantKentucky ???
:P
No we don’t! Kentucky butt raped that ucla team by like 1000 points
Wow. Looked like they were going to piss it away. Nice win
Where are the fans? I don’t understand why nobody is at these games.
Thank you! I was gonna buy tickets but all those empty seats court side are already purchased… People just ain’t showing up
6024 at Gill tonight. Early start Thursday game. Not bad but I expected better. In fact I intended to be there but work happened.
Looked a lil more full on the other side of the court
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B8AamxSIIAAu-ul.jpg
great image, shows exactly why the students should be on the sideline the cameras show
Makes you wonder what it will take to fill Gill up? What’s Gill seat…something like 10,500? Back in the day, the UCLA game was THE one to go to.
No doubt.
10,400
Beaver web site says 9,600
Must have removed some seats then. I always remembered hearing 10,400! A sell out at beaver games. But that’s been many years ago
Seat backs seat less than benches. They also provide zero leg room and seem to be made for tiny people. But I guess people need cup holders.
I’m sure there’s still some skeptical folks that are just waiting for the other shoe to drop. We’ve seen this all before, blah blah blah. If they keep winning, folks will eventually come back.
The difference from last year in Olaf’s game is staggering. He looks so much more comfortable on the court. +26 when he was in the game tonight, +18 for GP 2. LMW with an off night -7. Duvivier 11-12 from the line. Where were all these free throw shooters last year?

MD has a nice compact shooting stroke at the line. Got some friendly bounces because he has a soft shot with good rotation.
Inferred from a couple of articles and an interview with Olaf that Rupp is spending lots of time with him. Olaf’s size and intelligence make him, in coaching terms, “coachable” It shows.
In Fla trying to follow GA and Telly around their recruits, it’s exhausting, but caught the game on my Pac12 app. Good win , was a little nervous there. But this team shoots free throws so darn well! CR didn’t have that. Go Tinkle Time!
CR brought in the talent, just couldn’t motivate it! But they got to go to the White House for turkey dinner every year….
This team, unlike last year’s, can finish a game. Great win tonite, and I really love how this team is nailing games down at the free throw line. Did I hear they are shooting some like 78% in Pac-12 play? Outstanding turn around from the last couple years, when I remember a lot of winnable games getting pissed away by tons of misses at the line..
That was pretty awesome :D
Got scary at the end with UCLA making a run, but the players kept their heads. Go Beavs!
Recruits cannot sign anything at this point in time. Must be nice to fly across the country in order to spectate a fishing trip that is essentially catch and release.
Good win but the PAC12 is definitely down this year. Likely 3 bids. The beavs could sneak in a bid if they get hot at the conference tourney. 3 more wins clinch a winning record.
Maybe 4. A 10-8 Beav team would be the feel good entry into the tourney.
I think the Beavs win more than 10 ????
Well we are 1-0 so far. You originally called 8 if I remember correctly. Now you’re getting on the cj bandwagon, eh?
I looked up at the rafters to see if I could figure out where you were last night. I’m the fat old guy in section K.
Go Beavs!
If you saw the fucla douchebag wearing his faded 1995 national championship shirt while holding up a sign, we were about 5 rows directly behind him
Just got back from the game and like I stated above. I don’t know who those refs were but they were fucking horrible!!!! Missed several blatant travelling violations on UCLA, a blatant half court violation and then said it was an inadvertent whistle? Glad the Beavs put them away at the end though. Too many turnovers though
Those refs really were terrible tonight.
BTW, the beaver store across from Gill has the Oregon St, Dam Straight shirts in stock. Picked one up this evening.
Yeah, saw them online last night (from the AB post) so got to town early. Picked up 3.
Nice. My gf was pissed I didn’t pick one up for her so I’ll be going back on Monday. Oops!
Not at the USC game?
Negative
And $12.95 is a dam good price too!
Moral of the story: Bryce Alford is ass. People are going to see that he had 20 points or something but they made him look like a bitch lol. Ripping him, pushing him to the side, and the most representative play was probably when Gary saw him, cocked it back, and threw it down.
That was a rather fun one to be at.
We were calling him daddy’s boy all game. Then I realized the irony in that since Tres Tinkle will be here next year. I don’t think Alford is all that great anyway.
Why? Because they did it to GP2 up in Pullman?
I’m not stooping to that level. I yelled at the student section about it last night and they stopped…probably just coincidence.
His dad was a little whiny smug-faced baby when he played at IU. Makes the Beav win twice as nice.
Good for you. I really don’t care for having families brought into the cheers and jeers.
See you all on Saturday!
Btw, idk if anyone watched it tonight but ASU blasted Cal 79-44 in Berkeley tonight. Cal is not good this year and that is a very winnable road game.
From the Gaze Times…”the Beavers improved to 11-0 on the season, the first time an OSU men’s basketball team has reached that mark since the 1979-80 squad finished 13-0 at home.”

I’m an old gary-haired guy…
Does anyone know to where Craig Robinson has moved – not that I plan a visit.
FWIW – I saw a recent comment that they were still living in Corvallis. According to the poster CR’s wife likes it there.
In a continuation of the Charlie Brown references – although not so much with Riley gone – “Good Grief.” I think that would be difficult especially because of all that’s happening with the mbb team.
Yeah, I bet he’s taking a lot of guff right now. “Craig, why can that coach win with your bench players and you couldn’t win with the first team”?
Do you suppose the Prez is disrespecting his bro-in-law, too?
Kelly R was a regular customer, haven’t seen her, or CR, in a long time.
OSU basketball recruiting
I’m rewatching the Mike Parker interview of WT and at ~26 minutes in MP asks if there might be more news coming. (At the time of the interview OSU had already signed Derrick Bruce 6’3″ guard from Orlando, FL; Drew Eubanks 6’10” forward from Troutdale, OR; Stephen Thompson 6’3″ guard from Torrance, Ca and Tres Tinkle 6’7″ forward from Missoula, MT). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iZ8yet2t80
In his response WT alludes to a “post” that they were interested in (which turned out to be Gligorije Rakocevic 6’10” center from Polj, Montenegro) and possibly another player in the spring.
Doing some paraphrasing here: WT said that they technically have 4 scholarships but with him (WT) and Stephen Thompson being on campus there are things they can do “creatively” which would allow them to bring in another player if they felt the player could really help them. He said they were still out there actively recruiting.

How much of the work involved in getting the tweets to appear in the window involve manual labor and how much of it is just a matter getting it set up and letting it run?
Thanks again.
That’s all up to Angry. His site
As far as somebody running a separate basketball or baseball only twitter feed, I think somebody else would need to take that on.
Basketball and baseball recruiting tends to happen certain times of year and in quick bursts. Football news is more an ongoing thing. If any recruiting news breaks for baseball or basketball it will be posted in the feed.
Here’s a list of the baseball class: http://www.oregonlive.com/beavers/index.ssf/2014/11/oregon_state_beavers_baseball_92.html
Usually the major baseball camps are during summer, so that’s when things heat up.
“…If any recruiting news breaks for baseball or basketball it will be posted in the feed….”
Cool. In the interview I referred to above, WT said they continue to recruit.
According to the NCAA website the BB coaches are currently recruiting. The current recruiting period goes through March 31, 2015
http://www.ncaa.org/sites/default/files/Men%27s%20Basketball%20Recruiting%20Calendar2014.pdf
So I’m thinking/hoping there are tweets from kids who are being talked to and offered by OSU.
BB is probably recruiting still, but I bet a lot of that is for next year. And if it is for this class, then it’s been hush-hush. Not even sites like Rivals really cover BB recruiting. Usually we only find out a guy is being recruited once he signs. It’s weird. Maybe via twitter we’ll get more BB info over time as players tweet about who’s recruiting them, but the services don’t really follow anything but football closely.
I can’t believe that it would just be the football jocks who would be talking about meeting with coach X from where ever. So if I’m correct, it would appear that you’re twitter window could give AB a leg up on even the services.
Way to go Angry! Well done.
I did see a blurb about a kid Tinkle was recruiting, some time in the past month. He was a 2015 kid. Can’t seem to find it now, but it was an indication that they’re still looking. Probably tough to do too much during the season. That’s just the thing though, 1 mention in more than a month is all I’ve seen for basketball.
I’m good with a little or a lot of news but what I’m really jacked about is the fact that when there is news it’s right here on the AB website.
I’ll say it again…. Way to go guys!!!
I think it would be nice to have some sort of celebration for the walk-ons & practice players at the end of the season to show that their contributions are appreciated in helping get this team to where it is.
They, like the assistant coaches, get sorta lost in the shuffle somewhat. It has taken the entire conglomerate to make this team successful.
Just saying…
