The Duke’s Mayo Bowl ensured that someone would get covered in a food that is commonly disliked, unlike the Pop Tart Bowl. While I am not a big fan of mayo, I enjoy using it in combination with ketchup and other spices to make a delicious sauce.

Reword: Duke’s Mayo’s partnership with this university bowl game resulted in their mayo and sauces being prominently featured during the event. At Bank of America Stadium, Duke’s barbecue sauce was served on mac and cheese.

I attended the Wednesday game with my father, who hails from West Virginia. It appeared that a large portion of the state’s population turned out for the match against the UNC Tar Heels. As a supporter of WVU (and Duke!), I was ecstatic to watch the team play in person for the second time this year. We had previously journeyed to Morgantown, WV a month ago for another game.

Football definitely brings people together. While WVU fans seemed to outnumber UNC, there were also random N.C. State Fans in attendance. They were high-fiving WVU fans and even joined them arm-in-arm to sing “Country Roads” after WVU’s victory.

Watching the game on television is enjoyable, but being present at the event allowed me to witness moments such as UNC’s live mascot Rameses consuming the artificial turf.

During a season of uncertainty regarding the future of WVU Coach Neal Brown, this game appeared to solidify his position as head coach for at least another year.

At the beginning of the season, I never imagined that Brown would end up receiving a mayo bath – but that’s the beauty of college football – you never know where the journey will take you.
