Barstool After Dark: Back To School

Summer is quickly coming to a close, and all the school buildings are opening their doors yet again. Big News though in the Midwest...There’s one new school, to add into the mix: Barstool Chicago, and with a new direct streamline approach. For you teachers out there, I don’t know if we’re gonna be seeing any Kagan or Marzano from veteran Teacher Mr. Ohio’s Tate in this classroom. The task is for his one and only student… Mintzy. Yes, it’s the former teacher himself, Ohio’s Tate, taking on his greatest challenge yet in the education world, getting Mintzy to graduate… in a timely manner, too. From 1st grade to walking across the stage with the high school diploma, all in one classroom.

Does Mintzy have what it takes? Will Ohio’s Tate, and the patience of a teacher, finally run out? Also, what will "Principal" Lucas bring in the form of punishments & twists in the educational process?

As a teacher and coach myself, I know the name of the game in education most of the time is patience, trust, and the ability to pivot in the moment. Mintzy will truly test Tate and might be the only person in this scenario who can actually break the former teacher. We’ve seen it come close in previous After Darks. Adding into that, Mintz always comes with his own stipulations, and his own issues with following basic instructions. Who can forget the blind and deaf debacle of building furniture?

Now, Tate has to teach Mintzy the impact of John Steinbeck by making him read Of Mice and Men… fireworks incoming.

I will say, the assumption of Tate’s weak spot being math seems fair. Usually, unless you’re a math teacher, you don’t hang onto that stuff at all. BUT! This might actually be okay, math is most likely Mintzy’s strong suit, so that’s not the worry here. For him, the red flags are English, Science, and sneakily even History. Hold UP!...Quick sidebar: Tate, if you’re reading this and you need any fast history lessons or ways to test his knowledge, let me know, I’ve got tons I can send your way. Also, we better not be skipping history, boys. It’s a required course to graduate, so we need some U.S. History minimum!

Alright back to this...Can we imagine Mintz trying to write an argumentative five-paragraph essay? Yikes. Or doing a little physics homework? We recently saw his science fair appearance, and let’s just say the work ethic didn’t exactly meet passing standards. And now, with no groupmates to ride the coattails of, this could mean disaster ahead.

We all know Ben Mintz and that leaves no other conclusion other than the real hero tonight has to be Tate, again...putting his legacy on the line. We saw his coaching abilities tested in the past, and now we’ll truly see what he’s still got in the tank as an educator. The internet can be a cruel place and it may be all charging ahead at his educator skills tonight.

Again if needed Tate...I got resources!

Barstool After Dark has yet again cooked up elite viewing for us stoolies. We know Lucas, as the "principal," will come up with some cruel and unusual punishments to heighten the task at hand for Ohio’s Tate. This stream will test the limits of the education field, strategies that have survived decades of research may fall at the hands of one student… one man… Mintzy.
