Daytona's Best and Worst Paint Schemes
Ladies and Gentlemen, we have made it to the last race before the Chase, Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway. Top 5 Paint Schemes: Number 1: Todd Gilliland with the Grillo's Hot Pickle Car As if the Grillo's man wasn't likeable enough he becomes the Gillionaire and then comes out with this? I need a top 15 finish from him in this car. Ideally a win but a victory lane diecast of this car would hit so hard. Number 2: Ross Chastain with the Wendy's Waterme

Camp Barstool Day 1 Power Rankings
From Ranger's wake-up call to the old dog coming out on the diamond, Day 1 at Camp Barstool was full of nonstop fun. With Dirty Dew taking a commanding lead in softball with the sweep, Team Classic will need a big Day 2 to get back into this competition. But amidst the camp festivities, there were clearly five people who stuck out as Day 1 ELITES! First, we have to give an honorable mention to Ebo. He showed us all yet again that if he were 6 feet tall, he'd be in the League

As we continue our series to kick off the 2026 college football season, it is time to finish out the defensive side of the ball with the list many have been waiting for: the cornerbacks.

There are some BIG names on this list that you will want to know as we are just 5 days away from the start of the season. Starting at the bottom of the top 10 are a few

Cashing In on Speed: The Dollar Tree 301
It's race day, hopefully, in Loudon, New Hampshire. There is rain in the forecast until 4pm local time. I would assume there will be a race today, but it will probably be delayed. Which is great for me becuase I am behind on getting this blog out because I had too much last night. Anyways, lets get into my picks. Christopher Bell - Finishing Position Better than 5.5: I could make a lot of jokes about C Bell and his amazing ability to finish second, multiple times this season,

Coach Day's College Football Top Players: Linebackers
Our last Saturday without college football is upon us as we count down the days till kickoff in Dublin! My series on the top players in college football continues on the defensive side of the ball, focusing now on who many call the QB of the defense: linebackers. One of the first things you notice right away is that Texas Tech and Notre Dame each have two LBs on this list, including the top spot going to Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa. He and Drayk Bowen are also top NFL prospects, as

Dante Deserved Better..WE Deserved BETTER!
Alright, I hope this is now far enough past the premiere of Episode 5 to not be some killer spoilers for people, but I gotta go to bat for my guy Dante! After his tribal vote-off at the hands of Rone yesterday, there needs to be some poetic justice down the road with him on the jury...one can hope! Okay, before you get on me all about the "it's part of the show" or "Rone did the work to save his ass" crap, let's talk for real just for a moment. Dante was a surefire entertainm

Mizzou Releases New Throwback Jerseys in Honor of 100 Years of Memorial Stadium
A wise man by the name of Coach Day (Barstool Breakdown Coach Day, not Ryan Day) once said "jerseys may be back" and on Thursday morning, that continued to be true when Mizzou football announced their new throwback jerseys celebrating 100 years of Memorial Stadium this upcoming Fall. The Tigers will wear the jerseys on September 19 versus Troy. Right away, I love the six columns on the front of the helmet. And if you don't know, The Columns are Mizzou's signature landmark on

Ranking The Yak's Camp Plinko Board
On yesterday's Yak, the crew took to the almighty Plinko board once again to decide their Camp Barstool fate. With envelopes holding their camp life in the balance, the wheel called them up one at a time to find out their activities, or, as some may even say, punishments, during Camp. After the dust has finally settled, it's time to take a look at the winners & losers with some good old-fashioned rankings! To start us off, of course, I have put the full list of activities & p

Quick Update: Let's Get Mikey Bets To Camp
As I prepare for my day in the classroom, of course I am scrolling Twitter (or X, whatever), and I see a MAJOR development hit the press lines from Ohio's Tate that Mikey Bets will not be going to Camp Barstool. Now I love and trust the Stool, but this is a BIG swing and a miss! Now, I'm going to kick this off with the fact that Mikey and I have had our differences, of course, who can forget the coaching debacle? But here's the thing: the man is not only automatic clicks, but

Coach Day's College Football Top Players: Safeties
The itch for the "ber" months is here. I know, at least for me, being back in Arizona, I need them badly, this summer heat is no joke. It isn't just the weather, though; we are stuck in sports calendar hell, otherwise known as August. But with fall comes football, and then the calendar opens up. Well, to get us ready for the season, I have crunched the numbers, overloaded on highlights, and created some of the best top 10 lists out there. That's right, Phil Steele, move over,
