“I Win a Million Dollars”: Dave Portnoy Backs Alma Mater Michigan Wolverines Football To Bag an Enormous Wager

 The Michigan Wolverines football team pulled off an impressive victory against the Alabama Crimson Tide in the Rose Bowl playoff. The nail-biting victory has highly thrilled the Wolverines fans who are wildly celebrating the win. Among them, one dazzling face is surely the president of Barstool Sports, Dave Portnoy. It is not unknown to anyone that he is there for his Alma Mater through thick and thin. His unwavering support seems to have paid off well this time in terms of cash.

After a series of misplaced wagers, Dave Portnoy finally found himself on the right side of betting with the win of Michigan. In recent months, he was furious after losing bets on the Cincinnati Bengals and Buffalo Bills. Michigan is different from all, however. A few days back, Portnoy even announced that he would not mind losing a bet for Michigan. However, this time he was not that misfortunate. While Michigan’s win has brought immense joy to him, his pocket also fluffed up incredibly.

Dave Portnoy took to X to post about the astonishingly great win of Michigan. He wrote, “MICHIGAN WINS THE ROSE BOWL! I WIN A MILLION DOLLARS! WE’RE PLAYING FOR A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP! LET’S F***ING GO!” His announcement also carried the amount he won on the bet he placed on the football team of his alma mater.

The Michigan Wolverines faced Alabama in the Rose Bowl matchup and claimed a 27-20 victory. Tensions were high in the stadium throughout the match, as there was no clear winner after the end of regular playtime. The heartbeats of fans of both teams doubled as the match went into overtime. 

This explains the ecstatic reaction of Dave Portnoy and several other Michigan fans who erupted with cheers around him after the win. Adding another win to their undefeated streak, Michigan inched closer to the national championship. However, Dave Portnoy had been confidently posting about Michigan’s win for a long time. In fact, he wrote a small poem for his team before they faced Alabama.
