What’s in the bucket? Viral tweet from Duke’s Mayo Bowl has everyone guessing

Published:
Bowl season continued on Wednesday with a Big Ten-ACC matchup of Wisconsin against Wake Forest in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl from Charlotte.
As bowl games have evolved with new and different sponsors, the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, and the Cheez-It Bowl, for example, ended with players dumping french fries and Cheez-Its on their coach.
But a pregame tweet from the Duke’s Mayo Bowl account had college football fans equally excited or horrified about the notion of a coach receiving a post-game dumping of mayonnaise on their coach. Would it actually happen?
Here is a sampling of some of the interesting responses to the situation:

So, @DukesMayoBowl, will you be supplying the winning team with a bucket of Duke’s Mayo for the traditional coach’s bath? 👀

Also breaking: there appears to be a giant tub of Duke’s Mayonnaise on the Gatorade table, so prepare for the most awkward postgame pour on the winning coach’s head ever @DukesMayoBowl pic.twitter.com/MclepwoLYQ

Imagine the paranoid and frantic looks on coaches faces if they knew that winning would lead to their players attempting to douse them in Mayo.

Cause every good Southerner knows you can leave it sitting on the counter for days on days…. on the sideline for a few hours ain’t gonna kill anyone.
