LSU rolls into Vaught-Hemingway Stadium to face Ole Miss on September 19, a Week 3 showdown that doubles as the first SEC game of the season for both teams and airs on ABC. It's exactly the kind of marquee road trip a Barstool personality would want in on — and OhioTate just announced he's making the trek, with a catch.
Breaking News: Mintzy and I are going to the LSU at Ole Miss game* *Mintzy has to handle tickets, rides, lodging, food, etc
The "Breaking News" framing is a bit, but the terms are real: Tate is going, Mintzy is bankrolling. Tickets, rides, lodging, food — all of it lands on Mintzy's card, with Tate along strictly to document the fallout. It's the classic Barstool content arrangement where one guy signs up for a good time and the other guy signs up to pay for it.
Viva La Stool picked up the story from a different angle, framing it as Mintzy needing to secure a ticket and lodging for Tate just to be allowed on the trip at all — same standoff, opposite spin on who's holding the leverage.
Mintzy is not allowed to go to the Ole Miss game unless he gets a ticket and lodging for Tate to document the whole trip
Tate followed up making clear this isn't just a scheduling gag — it's a bit he's actively rooting for. He said Mintzy is "a few funny moments" when a trip is sponsored and comfortable, but "ELITE" once he actually has to spend his own money, and floated the challenge of getting them to the biggest regular-season game of the year, plus lodging and food, without Mintzy paying a cent.
I genuinely cannot wait. When it’s sponsored and paid for, Mintzy has a few funny moments. When he has to fend for himself (aka spend money)? He is ELITE I think he should try and get us to the biggest regular season game of the year + lodging + food without spending a penny
Whether Mintzy actually springs for a road trip to Oxford for a top-tier SEC opener remains to be seen, but the bit writes itself either way: if he pays, Tate gets a weekend of content watching him sweat every receipt; if he balks, the trip's dead before it starts. Given the game's stakes as a Week 3 SEC statement game, expect this to be a running storyline right up until kickoff on September 19.
