Dave Portnoy is not one to shy away from airing his opinions. He does not usually mind throwing something controversial into the fray. While hosting the Barstool College Football Show with Kayce Smith, Big Cat, and Brandon Walker, he mentioned some of his personal choices. Portnoy was at a venue with which he was very much familiar.

Dave Portnoy was outside the Gillette Stadium previewing the Army-Navy college game. The Black Knights managed to eclipse the Midshipmen 17-11, keeping the Navy side scoreless for the first three quarters. They won the 124th meeting between both sides. The hosts of the show listed their top ten American traditions one by one. Portnoy’s list had some surprising entries.

Dave Portnoy’s top ten American traditions

When it was his turn, Dave Portnoy listed his top ten. He said, “Yeah, I went all over the map with my top ten. March Madness; Kentucky Derby; Politicians being rats; Jimmy Buffett; President’s first pitch; Liberal pansies complaining about everything; Thanksgiving football; Joey Chestnut; Army-Navy Sing second, and the number one tradition in America, Michigan beating the absolute p**s out of Ohio State.”

For context, Kayce Smith was the only one to go on the board before Dave Portnoy. Her top ten list comprised Tom Brady’s Super Bowls; Mardi Gras; Better Movies and Music; Super-sizing everything; World Series; Super Bowl Sunday; Thanksgiving; 4th of July; American Football, and Freedom. Portnoy paid tribute to the late Jimmy Buffett while simultaneously relegating Thanksgiving football to the fourth spot. He put Michigan’s win against Ohio State at the top of the pile.

El Presidente has always rated Michigan above all

Dave Portnoy is a Michigan man, top to toe. He has always defended the Michigan Wolverines amidst the ongoing NCAA investigation. Portnoy was particularly over the moon after they beat the Ohio State Buckeyes on home turf. That game ended 30-24 in favor of the University of Michigan. Portnoy saw his alma mater win against the Ohio State University for the third game in a row.

It remains to be seen if Dave Portnoy’s “No. 1 American tradition” continues to be an annual event. Michigan, according to Portnoy, is in the process of building a footballing dynasty at Ann Arbor. He sided with his alma mater following that win, though it was not quite the hiding he had initially predicted. Portnoy was happy, regardless, and shared his happiness with the rest of his fan following.
