Barstool Breakdown: 2025-26 College Basketball Season Preview
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

Luke Kwon Is An Asshole And Cost 23 People A Shot At $1,000,000
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

Pat Bev's Lack Of Response Proves He Don't Got It
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

Barstool After Dark: Perfection on the Show?
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

Week 8: Sunday Funday Parlay & Cool Bets
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

The Barstool Yak's Time in History
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

Week 7: Sunday Funday Parlay & Cool Bets
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
