Ole Miss and Louisville played a genuine classic Saturday night, and StoolMintzy turned it into content in real time. By the time the final whistle blew, Barstool's own were hyping his feed harder than the game itself.
Nashville better watch out. Wild @StoolMintzy on the loose after an Ole Miss win
It started well before kickoff. Mintzy posted from Nashville with friends and their kids on what he called a gorgeous late-summer night, the calm before he turned into a live-tweeting menace for the next four hours.

The game gave him plenty to work with. Ole Miss and Louisville traded haymakers all night at Nissan Stadium in the Music City Kickoff, and Louisville QB Lincoln Kienholz nearly stole it late, ripping off a 54-yard touchdown pass and a rushing score in a span of a little over 3 minutes to tie it 38-38. Ole Miss got the ball back with 1:28 left and Trinidad Chambliss set up kicker Lucas Carneiro for a 48-yard field goal as time expired to seal the 41-38 win.
NEVER A DOUBT!!!!!!!! 1-0! #HottyToddy
Once it was final, Mintzy let it all out in the stands. He's seen filming himself mid-celebration, shouting and mugging for the camera in a stadium still buzzing from the finish, before summing the whole thing up: Ole Miss 41, Louisville 38, a win that counts the same by 3 or by 30.
Ole Miss 41 Louisville 38 Rebs had em all the way…. W counts the same by 3 or 30. Louisville damn sure ain’t no joke either, Onto Charlotte……
By the time the game ended, the bit had basically become its own storyline. Phill was setting an over/under on when the inevitable Mintzy postgame reaction video would drop, and it landed right around the number he was joking about.

Mintzy kept the content coming well after the final whistle, breaking down Chambliss and Deuce Alexander's second half, name-checking the Dolly Parton tribute Nissan Stadium played before the fourth quarter, and already gaming out how Ole Miss fits into the LSU conversation as the season goes on. It's the kind of stream-of-consciousness that made Viva La Stool call him a content machine in the first place — and after a night like this, it's hard to argue.
