Duke’s Mayo Bowl has come out with a mascot.
The bowl game in Charlotte, known most recently for its mayonnaise bucket poured over the winning coach, calls the mascot Tubby, which came after fan suggestions and a vote. The features of Tubby show off some notably bushy eyebrows, with yellow pants and red shoes.
The Duke’s Mayo Bowl this year will feature the ACC vs. the Big Ten after last year, it was SEC vs. the ACC, and featured South Carolina beating North Carolina, and Shane Beamer receiving a bucket of mayonnaise during the post-game celebration.
Y’all suggested. Y’all voted. Now our mascot officially has a name.
World, meet Tubby. pic.twitter.com/TBaRk4ozKn

As expected, many of the reactions were colorful. Here’s a sample:

My friend Tubby has crazy eyes but a sweet personality (?)

Tubby has an open invitation to my house anytime, since his rep is always there anyway! Especially at Thanksgiving with white bread and leftover turkey breast! Lol

I wonder what his waist size is.

That was my nickname growing up, needless to say, I was a “big kid”.

I’m not a big fan of mayonnaise in general. Bought some Dukes. It’s better than the others. So thanks Tubby.
