@adamtirapelle @TheGOATFollower @gif_tannen Haha I had a lot of teammates tell me I’m out of my mind. Johny was definitely the biggest villain.

@ChrisPendleton9 @TheGOATFollower @gif_tannen Chris, I think 16,000 people would have stoned JH on Saturday night in Oklahoma City. NEVER seen a crowd that angry 🤣

The two takedowns to win were amazing, but the post match was something I'll never forget experiencing in person. Can't remember I've ever cheered louder for a guy as every non-Cowboy booed him mercilessly and he just ate it up. 1 of 1.

@Aaron_LaFarge @StonebrakerS @gif_tannen Also Pat Smith, Mark Branch, and Mark Cody! Very blessed

@StonebrakerS @gif_tannen @ChrisPendleton9 Chris Pendleton had a Hall of Fame high school coach Kent Olson who is the 2nd winningest coach in California history also coached Isaiah Martinez “IMAR”. He also had John Smith as a coach in college on some really good OSU teams as he talked about the team in the interview.

Hard to believe these guys wrestled 5 times that season. Team title wrapped up and @ChrisPendleton9 more worried about letting down the team than celebrating his first of ✌️national titles.

@C0WGUY @gif_tannen I put on almost 50 pounds of muscle during my time in Stillwater!

@gif_tannen @ChrisPendleton9 Supernatural strength. All time favorite Cowboy.

@TheGOATFollower @gif_tannen Johny was always booed but it was always respectful. Maybe bc he wrestled such an exiting style. It never compared to the reaction that Mocco got. Some duals it felt like we were about to be swarmed by the crowd!

@gif_tannen I’ve told many people. Whoever you think are the big heels of the 2020s, they’re completely JV to Johny Hendricks.

Nationals up next ⏭️ #GoBeavs

@kerryeggers @BeaverMBB One of the classiest coaches I’ve ever worked with. He’s the man

It goes without saying that Wayne Tinkle leaves @BeaverMBB as one of the more beloved coaches in recent history in any sport at OSU. Not so much for wins and losses, but for the way he carried himself, the way he treated people, the way he ran a clean program. And in the end, the way he sustained player losses, hit the portal and got back to work. A man I have great respect for. #GoBeavs

PSA: To all “save and grow wrestling” keyboard heroes… Quit making it about you, your brand, or your hot takes. If you actually care about this sport, support your local college programs the only way that counts, buy a ticket and sit your ass in a seat. Here’s the worst part. A lot of the loudest “solution guys” in leadership and on staffs, always talking finances, media, and growth, are not even doing it at their own programs. If your program can’t average more than 1,000 fans, you don’t have the blueprint. Lead where you are first. **Reported FY25 Ticket Sales**

See you in Cleveland...👀 #GoBeavs

Bringing the title back to Corvallis!

BACK-TO-BACK Pac-12 Champs, @beaverwrestling! 👏🏆
