Barstool Breakdown

It was never Jayden Daniels off the IR. Hand up, full accountability RIGHT AWAY! The part that hurts the most? We were that one mistake away from a clean sweep of the cool bets & Sunday Funday parlay. But we move on to a new week, new slate, & new board to dive into. As always, let’s start it off with the cool bets. Tyler Warren ATTD +370 Yep, the dude who is younger than his new QB’s own kid! The storyline there is enough alone to bet this. Then you add in the reality of how

BOOM!  Another huge addition to the college football transfer portal today as SMU LB DJ Warner announced to me he will be putting his name into the 2025 portal. The former 4-star recruit will be highly sought after from the jump without a doubt after his play in the ACC for the bowl-bound SMU Mustangs. Warner came to SMU from Kansas and did not disappoint one bit. He found his way into the meat of the Mustangs defense as an edge rusher, though with his size & skill he also l

As December rolls on closer to Christmas, the season of giving gets better & better. Coach Day is here with more transfer portal news! Kansas freshman LB Jon Jon Kamara has entered the transfer portal. Kamara will have 3 years of eligibility left & will surely be a coveted name in the portal. After redshirting in 2024, the former 3-star recruit found himself a spot in the defensive rotation, the only underclassman to play important snaps in the KU linebacker room. This shows

One of your Black Friday gifts is opening early this Christmas season, as Big Cat & the whole coaching staff return to try for a national championship in 2025-26. In a collab between Pardon My Take & Stella Blue Coffee, we get to see Coach Duggs take on the newly announced college football playoff bracket. A quick little history lesson for those newer stoolies: Coach Duggs began his career via Big Cat way back in the COVID days, as he dusted off the ole Xbox & EA NCAA Footbal

Ohio’s Tate is taking After Dark to game-show land as he attempts to find the 1,000,000-dollar briefcase in Barstool’s version of Deal or No Deal . We are in for a wild one though as this isn't just any ole game show. Tate will be tasked with playing game after game until he can find himself with the big prize, as Annika, Mintzy (yes you read that correctly), & Hannah Montoya run the briefcases decked out in their fanciest dresses. Boys in the chat settle down now, we don’t

As the college football season closes out and we head into bowl & playoff season, we now get the newer treat of portal season as well, for players, coaches, and  fans. Today, Barstool Breakdown got the scoop on Michigan State starting OL Gavin Broscious entering the transfer portal. The Big 10 starter & former 4-star recruit looks to be a major sought-after prize for many Power 4 schools. Currently 247 Sports has him listed as a 3-star transfer as of now with a grade of 85, t

As the nation just lay shocked at what unfolded not just yesterday but really over the last week, in which the committee put out rankings just for the "drama," moved teams that didn't play a game, & basically dumped out any juice from championship weekend, I took it upon myself to be the one to fix yet another broken system that has been put forth by the NCAA. We are now left with teams who "could have won it all" playing in Pop-Tarts Bowls or just packing it up for the year.

Championship Saturday is in the books. With that, we now officially have our 5 automatic qualifiers... or so we think for the 5th , and no more chances for teams to show the committee what they got. As we all impatiently await the release of the bracket tomorrow on ESPN, let's take a moment to digest today & what it could have meant for the playoffs . We started the day a little slow in the Big 12 & SEC games with Texas Tech & Georgia flexing their muscles with monstrous  win

The up & down trend continued from the past few weeks; after Week 12 was a boom, 13 gave us a major bust. You see, more consistency out of my picks should be wanted from the readers... I completely agree.  I still crunched the numbers though on the season, and we are sitting up about 35 units. So the wins are there. It is hard to imagine  them off of such a rough week, but they are, which gives me the energy to find that magic yet again this weekend. So let’s take a peek at t

Sports weave themselves into our lives in ways that are hard to explain, becoming something far bigger than just scores or standings. They give us moments of joy that feel almost magical, the kind that bring people together and create memories that last for years with improbable comebacks, buzzer-beaters, championship runs that always remind us why we care so much in the first place. But with all that joy comes the heartbreak, the crushing losses and painful moments that fans

As not only a college basketball fan but of course a well-known Gonzaga sicko amongst my readers, this week I am lovin' the emergence  of Ryan Nembhard for the Dallas Mavericks with back-to-back double-doubles, averaging 21.5 ppg, 11.5 ast, and the most jaw-dropping of it all… only ONE turnover! As I scroll through social media I can't help but feel like the meme of the kid sipping the coffee looking proud AF. Please tell me y'all know this! Gonzaga fans have been screaming

The college football regular season has come to a close, what a bittersweet moment as it means we are again so close to no more football times. Yet also we are building up to conference championships, bowl games, &... the PLAYOFF! With only the conference clashes left before we get the actual bracket, I will not be producing the full 25 rankings but instead a projected bracket. I will then follow it up with Coach Day's Heisman winner & All-Squads for the 2025 season. As we lo

WE ARE BACK! After the holiday week off, no worry After Dark stoolies, your Tuesday night fun has returned. This time with some very interesting guests with it all on the line. Ohio's Tate is turning back the clock on this special night, as DraftKings Sportsbook opens in Missouri. We have an ode to the farmlands of the Midwest as we are looking for a needle in the haystack (I can stereotype Midwest & farming, I grew up on a farm, so no harm no foul here). For those not as

Well folks, we are coming off a TKO on the Sunday Funday parlay, as after Trevor Lawrence & Shedeur Sanders got us to Baker Mayfield , the great sportsbook of DraftKings came in clutch. With Baker going down in the 2nd qtr we got the win. Now, with his team down big at the time, it’s most likely he would have hit the mark anyways, but you gotta love Draftkings with the assist. Also no apologies people , we will always remember before we get into this: they don't ask how,

As we hit Friday night finding ourselves in the middle of rivalry weekend, all college football fans know what this weekend means, as bragging rights hang in the balance for so many people in cities, states, & regions across America. One of, if not the biggest game of them all, is Ohio State vs Michigan, known as "The Game." For stoolies who may not consider themselves college sports fans, they still know this game ohh so well with Dave Portnoy being the Michigan man. He is

For Dozen Disciple’s, the long wait continues for the 2026 season opener. Who doesn’t find themselves subconsciously turning on YouTube to watch the old Thanksgiving episodes with Frank the Tank making his stuffing as the boys Nick & KB egg him on though? You see, while we hold onto the throwbacks, that isn’t the only Dozen content to hold us over till Super Bowl week. Oh no no no, already the offseason has Jersey Jerry dropping bombs on us! Big names & teams being front-pag

We have finally arrived at the final week of the college football season. RIVALRY WEEK! Oh boy oh boy is so much still unsettled in the college football world. This week we saw two Heisman “underdogs” flex their muscles & throw themselves deep into the conversation for the award, while in the playoff picture the logjam is real & we are heading toward a lot of unhappy fanbases soon. WE are gonna start with a quick shot on the Heisman race, as I already released who I think sho

Another Saturday of college football & another eye-popping performance by Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love that sends Twitter & all of social media into a frenzy. As he found the end zone 3 times with 171 yards on only 8 touches... yes I said 8! He had a scoring rate of 38 freakin percent people. This now brings his TD total up to an even 20 on the season with about 1,600 all purpose yards.... oh and only averages 18.5 touches a game. But I'm here to say he not only has the stats

Well what a week it has been, full of highs & lows. As I got the $1,000 free bet from Barstool & DraftKings this past week from the Barstool #GOTW (which is the Eagles vs Cowboys btw this Sunday)... BUT unfortunately a win wasn't in the cards as the Bills offense laid an egg Thursday night. This though could be good for all of you who love to tail the cool bets & Funday Parlay, as now I feel it’s time to re-prove my betting expertise after the blunder. Though I am also 7-4 i

In college sports, players’ time has always felt so short. A quick three, maybe four seasons of seeing your best players has always been so bittersweet. Heck, nowadays it feels like getting to see a generational talent stay in your school’s colors for 3 years is almost like witnessing a damn moon landing. It just doesn’t happen much in today’s world of transfers & NIL. So with what most likely is J eremiyah Love’s final game in South Bend Saturday, I can’t help but be left f
