Bad at math? Wildly jumping to conclusions without knowing all the facts?
Mark DeRosa might be a bad manager but heβs doing an excellent job representing the United States.

Mark DeRosa might be a bad manager but heβs doing an excellent job representing the United States.
Scott Barnes' job security is simple.
The Reser's want marketing grads. Jensen Huang wants computer engineers. Jayathi Murthy cares about being the state's premier research institution. Donors and admins don't care about Barnes.
Portland State trails by 18 with less than 8 minutes remaining in regulation.
If this result holds, Vikings head coach Jase Coburn would be freed up to take the Oregon State job, if they offer it.
Last week, I detailed why Coburn makes sense in Corvallis:

For fifteen minutes today, JaMarcus Shephard shared his mind.
Hear what Oregon State's rookie head coach had to say about his vision, his expectations, his starting quarterback, and more.

Gonzaga dethroned last season's WCC tournament champion Oregon State in today's conference final.
While a trip to the women's NIT is possible, the big dance will have to wait until next year.
Here's John Severs @sevejohn.bsky.social with the game recap:
www.si.com/college/oreg...
I was in middle school when Lane Kiffin called a 76 yard field goal try.
I was in my 20s when Antonio Brown spray painted his helmet.
I was in my 30s when Henry Ruggs went to prison.
The Raiders have taught me to expect the unexpected, but I can honestly say tonight surprised me.
Al would have never traded him in the first place. Tim Brown was disgruntled for years on pathetic teams (before Gruden 1.0) but Al always kept him in the building.
I lived through Antonio Brown, Henry Ruggs, and Lane Kiffin's 76 yard field goal try. This shocks me more, somehow.
Holy crap Raiders, you've out Raiders'd yourself tonight
Today is a big day for the WNBA. Without a deal by EOD, the schedule will be impacted.
I hate saying what I'm about to say - I am a media member covering the Portland expansion team and I love women's sports - but I hope the players hold firm. Fight for what you are owed.
Scott Rueck and the Oregon State women's basketball team are win away from returning to the big dance.

The season is over. Gonzaga defeated Oregon State in last night's WCC semifinal. Here is Joe Londergan's recap:

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:
www.si.com/college/oreg...
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.
www.si.com/college/oreg...
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.

Brazil Max raced tonight #F1
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.

Ben Pahl on another dominant night for Dax Whitney www.si.com/college/oreg...
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:
