Barstool Breakdown

We have a new number one in the Dozen! As we head into the eighth week of the season, we have the first change in the #1 rankings as the Booze Ponies  took care of Ziti  with ease, freeing the way for the Experts to take the spot on top. Could it have been a Final Four preview? Maybe, as Ziti always turns it up a notch in playoff trivia. The rest of the week gave us some lopsided games, including the worst in Dozen history by the Experts . We now have a new week of matchups a

Many of you may not even know college baseball exists, and even more might barely remember a major leaguer from the 2000s named Scott Hairston . Well, that’s okay, but I’m here to tell you a little about both before you completely miss out on something BIG! Landon Hairston , the son of Scott, currently plays in the desert for Arizona State and looks to be nearly impossible to stop. Scott was a good ballplayer, coming up through Arizona prep schools & with the Arizona Diamon

Some people in life attempt to tackle an enigma, yes, but MAYBE just one. Many even go through life without even coming close to a discovery in their fieldwork. As Final Four week hits and others are focused on who is trying to become king of the court, Ohio's Tate looks to conquer yet another pillar of discovery in the social...maybe even scientific world. We have Bigfoot , the Loch Ness Monster , and now Final Four Pump Party Rico Bosco : the world's most well-known what-

Now that it’s been over a week since our Zags' 2025-26 season ended, it's time to first look back before we see what's ahead. This was one of the strangest seasons we have seen in Spokane in a long time, yet somehow we still got to see a conference championship, 30 wins, and yet another season getting out of the Round of 64. Still, having no second-weekend appearance for a second straight year can't help but leave us wondering where things went wrong, who stood out, who fell

Opening Day is one of the best days of the entire year, hands down. I know every fanbase says this, but in St. Louis it truly means more. Over 44,000 take off work, gather together and celebrate the start of a new season for the Cardinals. Now obviously the Cardinals are in the beginning of what is likely to be a multi-year rebuild, but that didn't stop fans from showing up at Busch Stadium on Thursday afternoon. It's a scene like no other with the Clydesdales making an appea

First Pitch is finally tonight! The return of baseball is here with the MLB season starting with a standalone game before the majority of the league gets going Thursday. Now, many people are still fully in March Madness or impatiently awaiting The Masters only a few weeks away, but among those two premier events is another: Opening Day. It’s a new year for players to continue their success or break out on the scene. To help out with all we have going on, I have put togeth

This offseason, we lost The Yak, Mostly Trivia, Macrodosing, Charity Case, and Foreplay. Will we lose as many teams this offseason? Probably not, but I believe there may be some shocking splits, and hopefully some splits that have been a long time coming. Been a long time coming: Gen XYZ It's been a rough few seasons for Gen XYZ. They made the final 4 in season 1, won a playoff game in season 2, but since then, are 0-2 in the playoffs and haven't made the playoffs since seaso

The Sweet 16 just got much sweeter for Stoolie fans. Did your team already bow out of the Big Dance? No worries, as Friday night may have the highest stakes on the line that we have seen in years at the Stool. With Michigan, Dave Portnoy's alma mater and team for the whole century, playing Alabama, led by one of Rico Bosco's guys, Nate Oats, the idea of a wager was put forth by Portnoy. Well, today the deal was put together behind closed doors, and it is one with possible l

The madness of March continues this week on the court & in the Dozen Trivia League . The season feels to be flying by, as I'm sure teams on the bubble are feeling the pressure to get that signature win. This week we have a couple of matches with those exact chances up for grabs, but it's the Sunday Night Showdown that may be the hot ticket, with the #1 ranking for Ziti  on the line as they take on the Booze Ponies , who are hot as ever after an early stumble. Tuesday Night #1

*AGAIN I WILL WARN YOU THERE ARE SPOILERS AHEAD, SO PLEASE WAIT TO READ UNTIL YOU FINISH THE FIRST EPISODE HERE !* These are just my thoughts on the first episode as I was watching live. The Barstool Basketball Association is officially BACK for Season 2, and if Episode 1 is any indication, we are in for chaos in the best way possible. First things first. Commissioner Mark Titus walking in wearing the red suit. That is how you set the tone. You see that and immediately know

Buckle in, folks; we’ve got ourselves a potential marathon incoming. Ohio’s Tate & Dana Beers will be running back their historic stream of Wet Ones in honor of March Madness this Monday night. They will also be adding a third to the mix in Ronny Doitche (suspension talk below) after his stellar performance in Pros vs. Joes. But watch out for the twist of the century! Okay, wow, so this is a lot to unpack here. First, let’s start with the boys. We all know Dana Beers can d

Well, it's official... for real this time, Gonzaga has been eliminated from the NCAA tournament by Texas. Now you may ask, what do you mean "for real"? Well, if you are an avid Twitter user & big Beer Bracket connoisseur , you may have thought my Zags fell many hours ago. Yes, the man known as the beer chugmaster, Ronny Doitche, had an early call of the game, thus of course leading to our actual demise about an hour ago. With that, I must say I am officially out on the beer b

We have made it through the first round, not without some shockers & a little bit of chalk. But hey, that is okay cause we are now set up  with a very intriguing Round of 32. The matchups on both Saturday & Sunday have lots of possibilities for big boys to go down; this should be a very fun weekend of basketball ahead. Let's take a look at what we have in front of us. Saturday's Games 12:15pm Overview:  Both teams lit it up in the Round of 64. Now, of course, Michigan on pape

Sooooo, the Round of 64 was far from pretty for our Gonzaga Bulldogs , but in March, all that matters is the win. After finishing off Kennesaw State, they now turn their focus to the 11-seed Texas Longhorns out of the SEC. Let’s see who they are and what we need to do to keep playing in March. Meet the Longhorns Texas is on one of those "First Four" runs you gotta be very scared of. They’ve already taken down NC State and BYU. They are a very balanced team centered around th

Another March Madness has arrived, and our Gonzaga Bulldogs have a 3‑seed, tipping off tonight at 7 p.m. local time (West Coast) against the Conference USA champs, the 14‑seeded Kennesaw State Owls (21–13). Here’s what to expect and how we can move on to the Round of 32. Kennesaw State Preview The Owls are a tough‑minded team that loves to hit the boards, though they aren’t super big, with only two rotation players reaching 6’9”. What this means is: be prepared for a physical

It's good to be writing to you folks again. For a second there, I thought my article that I published here on Feb. 28 was going to end up being a jinx on the Missouri Tigers. All that worry for not, as the Tigers found out they were the No. 10 seed in the West Region and would face-off against the No. 7 seed Miami Hurricanes from the ACC. The game tips off at 9:10 p.m. on Friday, March 20th at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis. Yes, you read that correctly, the Missouri Tig

March Madness is here! As we scramble to fill out our brackets, sometimes the best week of the year can become a little overwhelming. No worries, though, as I am here to save the day yet again with a Round of 64 preview, giving you best bets, players to watch, what to expect, and finally, a prediction. Now, will it be perfect? NO WAY! It’s March, but the research has been done! EAST REGION Thursday Games Tip Off Times 12:15 pm Overview:  This game is the true definition of a

What a week it is. We started with our brackets, got a little pros vs. joes action, and now, amongst it all, let’s not forget TRIVIA! We have a little madness heading our way from The Dozen, as all three matches could go either way. Before we get into the preview, let’s give a self‑shoutout here, as I am 9–0 in predictions over the last three weeks. Yep, it’s a pretty big deal. If only I could get this hot in betting for March Madness!!! Tuesday Night #8 Po’Boys (1–2) vs. #6

What a stream it was the perfect setup for March Madness this week. The Pros flexed their muscles time and time again, leaving the Joes feeling nothing but rushed and powerless. Whether it was missed layups, turnovers, or defensive miscommunication, the Joes had it all. So, who takes the awards home from a stream that held the eyes of over 35k! MVP: Tom Welch (Loyola Chicago) & Tyler Hansbrough (North Carolina) Time and time again, when the Joes had a slight advantage or felt

We have our bracket… oh, how perfect it looks and feels this early Monday morning as we stare intently, not getting a lick of work done. Soon, though, reality sets in that we now have to fill this dang thing out! And there’s no way we are finishing last in the office pool again… we can’t sit back again as Cheryl from HR wins the pot by picking her favorite states! This is the year we do the research and by research I mean check out the teams Coach Day has as the Cinderellas,
