OhioTate says he and Ben "Mintzy" Mintz are bunking on couches at Ole Miss's ATO house for the LSU game, and the Barstool group chat is already having a field…

  1. Tate posted a green-screen clip of Mintzy delivering a message, flagging it

    It started as a bit. On Wednesday, Ohio's Tate (@OhioTate) posted a clip captioned "Please bookmark this message from Mintzy just in case I need it next weekend in Oxford," holding onto a receipt for whatever comes next.

    The next day, the plan got official. Tate announced that Mintz, 43, has lined up the crew's lodging for LSU at Ole Miss weekend: 3 nights, Thursday through Saturday, at the Alpha Tau Omega house on campus. No spare bedrooms. Couches only.

    Breaking News: Mintzy (43 years old) has lined up our lodging for the LSU at Ole Miss weekend. We will be staying on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night at the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity house on campus. *They do not have extra bedrooms, but they have couches

    There's an actual layer of irony here that makes the bit funnier: Mintz is an Ole Miss alum who reportedly pledged ATO himself back when he arrived on campus, per a 2021 profile on his career. He's not crashing a random house — he's going back to his own. Mintz's path to Barstool ran through Ole Miss too; a viral clip of him after a Rebels win over Kentucky caught Dave Portnoy's attention, and a follow-up call ended with him hired, according to a 2025 KSLA interview.

    The reactions wrote themselves. Nicky Smokes (@nickysmokess) is already looking forward to documenting Mintz "on acid at a frat house after party," and Dave Portnoy himself weighed in with a warning that "Mintzy better get a peptide for his chicken neck asap."

    Not everyone thinks it's a bad plan. Annika Christy (@kingkrabbyp) called it "best case scenario," no notes given, and Megan (@MeganMakinMoney) ran with the visual of a college girl waking up on a couch next to the 43-year-old — pure bit, not a real preview of the weekend.

    LSU visits Ole Miss on September 19, the earliest the two programs have ever met and the SEC opener for both teams, with Lane Kiffin returning to the building he coached for 6 seasons. Whatever happens on the field, Tate and Mintz will be sleeping on frat furniture for it — and given the group chat's reaction, the couches might be the least chaotic part of the weekend.
