Oregon State head coach Wayne Tinkle made a national name for himself this weekend, but not for his coaching abilities.

First of all, all athletes know what sweating is like. To play major Division 1 collegiate athletics is something that most could only dream of and sweating is just a side effect of freakish natural ability.

Nobody knows sweating more than football players.

What these guys go through during training camp and two-a-days is something they wouldn’t wish on their worst enemy. While the past decade or so has been laughably easy in comparison to the old training camps of football (at all levels), to have all that equipment on in the dead of the August heat could be classified as inhumane.

If you’ve played, you realize how impossible it is to stop the sweat. The damn stuff gets into your eyes while dripping down the helmet and onto your forehead.

There’s very little you can do about it, and if you’re one of the poor unfortunate souls who wears contacts while playing football, the horrible burning eye feeling reminds you of one of those classic Ben Stein Dry Eyes commercials.

On Saturday night, Oregon St. head basketball coach Wayne Tinkle entered the class of the “sweating profusely hall of fame.”

As his team was engaged with Colorado in a big matchup, Tinkle was caught on TV sweating more than Patrick Ewing at the free throw line.

As clear as day you can see Tinkle’s blue dress shirt drenched in the salty liquid. Not only is it present underneath the most common of spots, underneath the armpits, but the sweat seems to be completely violating parts of his body that should never see that sort of wetness.

Could you imagine having to guard this guy in a three on three pickup game?

Forget assistant coaches, Tinkle needs a personal mopper to tend to him during every stoppage of play. One of his players could seriously injure themselves en route to check into the game.

While most moppers hit the hotspots of the foul-line and near the boxes, Tinkle is changing the entire mop-boy strategy.

As far as the actual game was concerned, Tinkle’s team improved to 17-10 with a 72-58 win over Colorado on that hopefully balmy night. Guard Gary Payton II led the way for the Beavers with 24 points, four steals and an incredible seven blocks.

I know one thing, I’d hate to be on that bench should this team be in a real nail-biter.
