Barstool Breakdown

We are now firmly in November, and oh how bittersweet it is, we’re getting all of these great matchups and rivalry games incoming, while also knowing the college football season is sadly inching toward its end. As we continue on though, races tighten and rankings heat up. Tuesday will give us the 2nd rendition of the College Football Playoff rankings after another wild weekend. Before we get into that, we need to take a peek at the updated Heisman Top 10. The top side of the

It's been a minute. I've had a real busy couple months. First, we'll do a quick catch up on me and why I have been MIA. I work in a college admissions office, and the first few months of the semester is our crazy busy season. As you can imagine, I have been swamped with work. Not only is it my busy season, but I also got married a couple weeks ago!!!! I have been with my husband for almost 9 years. We are high school sweethearts, and I could not be happier. My life has been g

OH so close to a perfect week last time out. All the cool bets hit, but we were just 9 yards short of cashing the Sunday Funday Parlay. We continue the chase. Could this be the Sunday? It just might be, it’s a really strong slate. As I look across the board though, we have to find the right  matchups to make us all winners. For anyone new to the series, we start with 3 cool bets (all straight plays), then we finish with the Sunday Funday Parlay, a 3-legger centered around QB

Yesterday the LIV Tour announced a major change to their 2026 competitive season: moving forward, they will now compete in 72-hole tournaments. So, for those who only see Roman numerals in Super Bowl logos, “LIV” stands for 54. Yep… the tour literally named 54 Tour will now play 72. Another L stacked on during an offseason from hell for the tour. It all really began when reports came out about the tour taking a major financial hit, estimated around half a billion lost. Thoug

We’ve finally reached November, and you know what that means (well, unless you’re a total casual… and that’s okay, ‘cause I’ll do my best to fill in the blanks) we have PLAYOFF RANKINGS TONIGHT! I jumped the gun a lil’ bit with my first edition last week, but now we’ll see how the committee stacks up against this elite ball watcher. Oh, and of course, let’s not forget the ever-changing Heisman rankings. In fact, let’s go ahead and start with those. Heisman Rankings ALERT! WE

If you can dodge a wrench, then you can dodge a ball... or so we hope for  Ohio’s Tate  and an extended crew of Barstool personalities. Also I swear I won't over do it in here with the movie quotes! Tuesday night, the best of the best in NCAA dodgeball will go up against the After Dark crew. YES!! There is  Division I dodgeball, and after this stream, it could be full steam ahead for the 2028 Olympics, I'm calling my shot on that one! Three of the nation’s top five dodgeball

The college basketball season has finally arrived, with much of the nation tipping off Monday. Over 350 teams all start 0-0 with different goals in mind. For the Gonzaga Bulldogs, the endgame remains the same... win a national championship. The Bulldogs have become a national powerhouse in the 21st century with accolades aplenty, including two national runner-ups, nine straight Sweet 16 appearances, producing multiple first-round picks, and so many awards. Yet again, Coach Ma

Alright, let's get it out of the way... last week was a BOMB! I know, hand up to take accountability, I gave out complete stinkers, and it was my first red NFL Sunday of the year. What makes it worse? After a heartbreaker with the Funday Parlay the previous week, to then never seei it get off the ground this past week. DISGUSTING! Even the Cool Bets, which entered last week at +6.3 units, threw up a donut. It was an all-around beatdown. But now we look at Week 9 as a new da

As October comes to an end, so does the season of exhibitions and “secret” scrimmages... which means tip-off is here! College basketball is soooo  back! Yes, I love college football, golf, and the NHL... but in the end, college basketball just strikes another chord with me. So, I’m putting some extra pressure on myself to write a great season preview for Barstool Breakdown . My second hope? That this somehow lands on the desk of Mark Titus and the Mostly Hoops  crew. The jour

The Barstool Invitational began today, and I had thoughts of writing an Episode 1 recap blog, but then I was exposed to Luke Kwon, the world's biggest asshole. The highly anticipated tournament began with all 46 competitors gathering for an introduction, to hear the tournament rules, learn about the rules committee consisting of Dave Portnoy and Big Cat, and participate in a draft to finalize the tournament teams and pairings for day one. The pairings were then announced sna

We are nine days removed from the clip where Pat Bev decided to say "Motherfuckers trash" on the likes of KFC, Feitelberg, and Francis Ellis. The fallout from this moment has been peak barstool, peak beef, peak keep my name out of your mouth, and I've enjoyed it every step of the way. The first retort to the man who cried after a play-in win came from a blog by maybe the best to ever do it, Francis Ellis. The last person in the world you want to put fingers to keys at Barsto

We are back in the gaming world...why?  Well, I wish I could tell you. Maybe Lucas is truly just that sick & twisted, or he just plain hates Ohio’s Tate. For those who are a bit confused, the last time we hit the controllers it lasted three days, as an all-hands-on-deck stream worked toward winning a natty (which is not an easy feat, I’m currently in Season 3 with UMASS and fighting for my life). I mean, who can forget the Miracle in Morgantown ! Anyways, still that’s the pas

It’s officially Spooky Week! This means the college football season is hitting its home stretch of MACtion, rivalries, SEC “bye week” (I know the casuals won’t get this one), and playoff rankings! With the college season hitting its high point and playoff pictures starting to form, football is riding high! So I’m not gonna waste your time with useless quips or banter in here and instead dive right in! First up, the now 3rd edition of the Top 10 Heisman Contenders. Not accordi

It is with a sunken stomach I write this after the close call that ended our amazing run last Sunday. To paint you the picture: we survived London’s rain, Chicago’s wind, but just couldn’t find a way to get past the turf in Dallas, as it grabbed Jayden Daniels by the leg, pulling his hamstring just as he was quickly on his way to 230+ passing yards...maybe even a zillion at that point. Through tragedy, though, comes great triumph! That brings us to the present in Week 8, and

Another week of football has been completed. In college, the crazy season continues with another top-5 undefeated team falling. For the NFL, we’re seeing the elites coming into form as the Chiefs and Eagles right the ship with wins. But in here we’re focusing on the individual performances in this blog. We’re all about me before team  right now. Let’s start with the college game and see who’s sticking out as the leaders to hear their names called as the best player in the spo

As the NBA tips off and college basketball is finally just around the corner,  with hoops in the air, Barstool After Dark  is bringing in the big boys. Ball gurus Mark Titus and Rico Bosco will be joining Ohio’s Tate to attempt the 100 ft shot!  Ohh, but it won’t be just one shot… With the NBA’s opening night landing on the same night as After Dark , Tate and the boys will be starting from 100 feet out, working their way to the hoop through various challenges and teamwork. Li

Okay, this one’s for the niche Yak  listeners who may know a bit about history as well. For those who aren’t followers of the blog, my day job is as a history teacher. So I personally love the Yaks where they hit the rabbit hole button on the historical trail. Lately, it’s felt like they’ve been really  in their bag with the history look-ins. So as they talk about different eras and how they’d do in each, it got me thinking a little bit about which eras in time actually fit e

Last week was a rough one for the parlay, but we only look forward, it’s not about the past, only the future in our eyes. Though... the cool bets did pretty well, and I have to say those are making up for the overall rough year surrounding the “Funday Parlay.” Fear not parlay players, I’m still searching and cooking to get y’all some chances to cash! So as always, first let’s take a look at some cool bets: Xavier Worthy ATTD +165 This guy, since coming back from injury, has b

With the Chicago Marathon wrapping up this past Sunday, Barstool is keeping the theme rolling into the week. With multiple employees joining the marathon craze that hit the city, After Dark  is now bringing a lil twist into the equation: The Milk Mile!  As Twenty-six employees will join forces to run a 26.2 marathon… with MILK. I know as your eyes scroll through that first paragraph, only confusion & questions arise. What is a Milk Mile?!? Well, you run a mile just like any o

Now, I know there have been some "rumblings" online about this blog being “fake,” blah blah blah. I'm here to assure you these rankings are thoroughly researched and have the full strength of validity needed to be published. Alright, with both the college football & NFL seasons in full swing now, it’s time to start thinking seriously about who could be top dog! First off, for those a little unfamiliar with the college game, they have the Heisman Trophy winner as their "MVP
