Duke’s Mayo Bowl is making our dream of seeing a head coach get covered in mayonnaise come true

Honestly, we are all just here to see a grown man get doused with mayonnaise.

The Duke’s Mayo Bowl has been one of the most anticipated games of the postseason, and not because anyone is particularly interested in what happens on the field between North Carolina and South Carolina. The ACC-SEC bowl game will surely be fine, but it’s what’s happening after that has everyone on tenterhooks.

The winning coach is going to get doused in mayonnaise.

MAYONNAISE.

After a regular cooler of Gatorade was dumped on Wisconsin head coach Paul Chryst when the Badgers defeated Wake Forest in 2020, the internet was devastated the Duke’s Mayo Bowl didn’t follow in the footsteps of the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl (french fries), Cheez-It Bowl (Cheez-Its) and Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl (Frosted Flakes).

This year, we knew in advance that the Duke’s Mayo Bowl was not open to bathing either Mack Brown or Shane Beamer in the thick condiment. The bowl’s executive director, Danny Morrison, said in a Twitter video that they’d donate $10,000 to the charity of the winning coach’s choice if they accepted the terrifying dousing, and both Mack Brown and Shane Beamer agreed.

Four and a half gallons of slightly watered down mayo awaits the winner, and you will have to make the switch over to the ESPN app following the trophy presentation.

The game starts at 11:30 a.m. ET on ESPN.

Buckle up, friends.

Our hopes for a mayo bath might be coming true at this year’s Duke’s Mayo Bowl

Ten thousand dollars for charity, and a gooey head coach. What’s not to love?

Before the 2020 college football season, the Belk Bowl — a bowl game based in Charlotte that features an ACC team against either a Big Ten or SEC opponent — changed title sponsors to become the Duke’s Mayo Bowl. The inaugural game under the new branding featured Wisconsin against Wake Forest.

The Badgers dominated the Demon Deacons, cruising to a 42-28 victory in front of a sparse crowd due to COVID-19 limitations. As the seconds ticked down, the internet began wondering what would be in the gatorade bucket to douse head coach Paul Chryst. Sadly, it was just energy drink, disappointing hordes of extremely online fans that hoped to see a grown man covered in a viscous condiment.

If you don’t believe me, just Twitter search “Wisconsin mayo bath.” Or don’t, it is also a little upsetting.

This year, our mayonnaise hopes and dreams are alive and well thanks to a video from Duke’s Mayo Bowl executive director Danny Morrison. In the 23-second message, Morrison apologizes for getting everyone invested in last year’s gooey celebration, and says that it’s a go this year…with one twist.

Ten thousand dollars for charity AND a slimy head coach? YES PLEASE. The Duke’s Mayo Bowl is scheduled for December 30th, and the teams will be announced on December 5.
