Barstool’s Portnoy wins $1 million on Michigan’s win: ‘Finally the Big Ten punched the SEC in the mouth’

Dave Portnoy is celebrating No. 1 Michigan’s 27-20 overtime win over No. 4 Alabama in the Rose Bowl with a little more flare than most.

The Barstool Sports founder won $1 million after betting on his Wolverines to beat the Crimson Tide in the College Football Playoff semifinal game.

Portnoy, who was at the game in Pasadena, posted a video on social media after the game. The language in the video is not suitable for all ages.

“Finally the Big Ten punched the SEC in the mouth,” he said in part. “Watch their teeth break. Tale of two halves. We dominated the first, and they dominated the second. … When it was on the line, it was the Michigan men who stood up and made plays when we need to. Finally, finally, a Big Ten team sticks it to the big, bad bully.”

Blake Corum rushed for a 17-yard touchdown on the second snap of overtime, and top-seeded Michigan advanced to its first CFP championship game with a win over Nick Saban and the Tide in the Rose Bowl.

Harbaugh’s Wolverines (14-0) will play for their school’s first national title since 1997 against Washington on Jan. 8 — but only after a fourth-quarter comeback and a hair-raising finish when the two winningest programs in college football history played just the second overtime game in the 110 editions of the Granddaddy of Them All.

Corum, who caught an early TD pass and rushed for 83 yards, needed only two snaps to score in the first overtime period.

After Milroe was stopped 2 yards short of the end zone on the final snap, the Wolverines’ entire sideline sprinted onto the field, throwing a few helmets in the air while fireworks soared from behind the Rose Bowl scoreboard.
