@barstoolsports OSU AD is the worst!

Former Oregon State Player Tres Tinkle Called Out The AD For Telling The Current Team To Focus On The Transfer Portal Before They Played In The WCC Tournament s.barstool.link/c/article-3565…

@TimBrando @pac12 Tim no money to pay him more than the football coach to start.

He’s a really outstanding Coach but a better person. Wayne Tinkle’s been a credit to his profession for a long time. I’m not sure why NOW has to be the time for him go? However it’s yet another mistake made by their Administration. The formation of the new @pac12 a new beginning of sorts but he could have really been an asset in making their transition.

@johncanzanobft Osu president - head in the sand like always.

Kyle Bjornstad with a message for Oregon State: "Enough is enough. It is time to look in the mirror, stop with the excuses and finger pointing, and get back to work."

@AngieMachado1 Agreed

Boise State’s AD gets it. Must read #GoBeavs fans.

@RyanTClarke Ryan, what laws are Ok to enforce and what aren't?

@lukesanford9 @RickyBrumfield @KICKNATION Highly important position! Go Beavs

Committed! Thank you Oregon State, Ready to get to work. GO BEAVS 🦫 @RickyBrumfield @KICKNATION

@mattbegreatyt Seems like it

Serious question… is Michael Irvin doing drugs?

@beavs_report Nothing hurts

Director of Recruiting/ Player Personnel JR Moala is leaving to become the Executive Director of Recruiting at UCLA. Another domino on the staff is gone, and this one hurts as former Oregon State Staffer Derrick Yray is the one to who poached him to UCLA.

@CFBTalkDaily So the top 15 just play each other multiple times?

I just don’t see how the current college football landscape is sustainable Iowa State had been a solid program for years Now? They have 17 players remaining on the roster for next year, only 1 returning starter It’s impossible to compete like this

@darwintojesus Extremely!

It’s completely obvious God exists.

@ClayTravis Clay is part of msm now. Wow

Just 6.2 million watched Tulane-Ole Miss and only 4.4 million watched JMU-Oregon. Truly embarrassing numbers for playoff viewership in any sport, much less CFB, the nation’s second most popular sport. Small school auto bids have to be tossed. No one wants to watch this.

@TheBeaver_Shark @OregonStatePres What are we wanting to hear? Maybe the 4 why's that is won't happen again? Lol right. Oh wait it is what it ia

“It is what is” from a sitting D1 athletic director on a major failure that cost the university and AD hundreds of thousands of dollars. Any other person would have been fired for that at their job, @OregonStatePres stop covering for him

@RGIII @OuttaPocketRG3 @Gretegiii @JMUFootball @GreenWaveFB Agreed. A bunch of paid spokesman saying same thing.msms

If you think Group of 5 teams don’t belong in the College Football Playoff, you don’t actually love college football. Group of 5 teams belong in the CFP if they earn it. JMU and Tulane earned their way in. Anyone trying to gate keep the CFP and keep Group of 5 teams out is carrying water for the wrong people. Football fans love underdogs. Sports fans love Cinderellas. If they get crushed in the game, that’s okay. We’ve seen perennial powerhouses get crushed in the College Football playoffs and those same voices didn’t say those teams didn’t belong in consideration for the CFP ever again. -Alabama lost 44-16 to Clemson in 2019 -Oklahoma lost 63-28 to LSU in 2019 -Ohio State lost 31-0 to Clemson in 2016 -Ohio State lost 52-24 to Alabama in 2021 All are in the CFP this year because they earned it. We’ve seen Cinderellas beat the big dawgs throughout College Football and College Sports history. So whether JMU and Tulane get blown out, hold their own, or win their games in the CFP, the result shouldn’t be used against all group of 5 teams to keep them out of the CFP. An undefeated or 1 loss Group of 5 conference champion earns their way into the CFP. The size of your brand shouldn’t determine your spot in the CFP. Winning games matters. If you’re gonna carry water for anyone, carry it for the PEOPLE OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL. They don’t all live in 2 conferences.

@ClayTravis Gave away 4 past year

Four play touchdown, Oregon. College football only has 11 playoff games and this year we just gave away two of those games as complete worthless mismatches. Tulane and JMU both making the playoff is an inexcusable failure of playoff design.

@AdamBreneman81 First round os usually blow outs. 1 small school max then just win your conference.

Tulane and James Madison getting blown out in the first round while Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, BYU, and Texas are sitting at home just doesn’t make sense This isn’t good for the sport

@gibquig @dannykanell Agreed

@dannykanell Maybe the P4 should also clean out their basement dwellers. There should be a promotion/relegation model if they do a separate playoff.

It’s become very trendy to crap on the Group of 5 programs. But Tulane and JMU had phenomenal seasons and should be applauded. But at the same time it is crystal clear the best outcome for everyone is to have a Group of 5 playoff and crown their own national champion.

@dannykanell Agreed,group of 5 champ. Thougt same last night.

@johncanzanobft Good to see him, sucks to play against. Good dc

Washington State is hiring Trent Bray as defensive coordinator, he confirmed to me. Bray tells me he’ll be in Pullman on December 28.

@girdley Home sauna is such a tough deal to decide on what. I'm in paralysis on what to get.

I'm a late adopter of health trends. These are the 3 I am recommending to my other 50-something male friends at seemingly every holiday party: • Whoop (tried all the health metric stuff, this was best. Con: pricey.) • Massive (25-35g a day) of fiber supplementing (tried all the stuff. Ground flaxseed is low carb. If you don't poop daily, you should. Con: calories.) • Bed chilling pad (game changer on sleep. Went from <80% efficiency to 100% efficiency measured by Whoop. I didn't want a subscription, so got a Chilipad. Con: expensive.) Two I'm adding in 2026: • Bidet (toilet paper is barbaric.) • Sauna (still figuring this one out.)

@girdley Very informative and enjoyable. Thank you!

NEW LONG FORM VIDEO: The rise and fall of Fitbit Fitbit went from a simple idea to a $10 billion fitness-tracker giant in less than a decade. At its peak, the company controlled over 45% of the market. Just five years later, that share had collapsed to around 4%. Something went seriously wrong. This is the story of the rise and fall of Fitbit.
