Dave Portnoy's Rutgers Disaster

Barstool's Pick 'Em card puts Portnoy on Rutgers -29.5 for the opener

He's one of seven plays on the day's card, right alongside Big Cat, Zuppe and the rest.

I made my 1st bet of college football season and it may be my strongest play of the year. Rutgers -29.5 to beat umass by 40 plus

UMass starts hanging with Rutgers and Portnoy already sounds nervous

Ev's already crowning UMass QB Pop Watson MVP of the upset before it's even an upset.

Umass is apparently way better than Rutgers and nobody told Rutgers they had a game today. They are totally asleep What a joke

The rout is on, and Barstool's trash-can mascot rides onto the field to rub it in

Barstool's own mascot cruises onto the field mid-blowout, and Will Compton needles from the sideline that the SEC doesn't have a Rutgers.

Umass is kicking the ever living shit out of Rutgers.

Rutgers pulling up for another season of college football

Portnoy owns the freezing cold take and apologizes on camera

Three minutes into the season, by his own count - and Dani Jackel's reaction says it all.

@stoolpresidente

I apologize to everybody who followed me on the Rutgers pick. I’m not gonna point the finger at Greg Schiano or Rutgers for the most pathetic effort Ive ever seen. The buck stops with me. I will work to earn your trust back #rutgerssucks

Final gun: 36-14, a 29.5-point favorite goes down as a two-touchdown dog

UMass closed as a +2200 moneyline underdog, hadn't won in 677 days, and hadn't beaten a power-conference team since 1978.

@barstoolsports

UMass was a 29.5 point underdog tonight They’ll pick up their FIRST win vs. a current power conference opponent since November of 1978

Portnoy escalates: disband the whole Rutgers program

Less than two hours after apologizing, he's calling for the death penalty instead.

@stoolpresidente

Not only do I think Rutgers football should be kicked out of the Big 10 I think the football program should be disbanded

The morning after: fireworks, donors, and a fan getting grilled on the phone

Recaps land on the "world's saddest fireworks show" and a donor gut-punch, plus a live call with a Rutgers fan branded "Assault!"

Rutgers lost as 30 point favorites but no one was stopping them from post game fireworks
