Dave Portnoy Tries To Rile Up Urban Meyer Again After OSU Damage Control Involving Will Howard

The FOX Sports college football pregame show is about to get rowdy. So if you’re looking for cool takes and polite banter, you’re on the wrong network. Imagine Dave Portnoy, Barstool’s bomb-throwing founder and loud, unapologetic Michigan superfan, sharing the spotlight with Urban Meyer, the face of Ohio State’s football empire. And now? Portnoy loves to remind viewers that Michigan has owned the Buckeyes lately. They rattled off four straight wins from 2021 to 2024.

So what happens when Portnoy, after years of taking jabs at Meyer, gets another chance on the eve of the OSU-Texas showdown? True to form, Portnoy takes another swing. When he was reading the game preview questions, Portnoy came across a very opportunistic one that could be used against Meyer. The question read, “Hey Dave, Ohio State has spent the whole week worrying about a team they’re not playing this week. How mentally compromised are they for Texas?” Without thinking for a second, he walked towards Meyer with a cheeky reply in the back of his mind. “I would say very mentally compromised,” Portnoy responded.

This isn’t a random jab; it’s calculated, part of a media landscape where heated rivalry sells. And when these two hit the set, expect more than just college football talk.

Great question! Here’s a preview of the #askdave segment with my good friend @CoachUrbanMeyer https://t.co/zpVL9Pwc4j pic.twitter.com/TjfzcP1paD
