Watch: Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck receives mayo bath after Golden Gophers win Mayo Bowl
The mayo bath has, unfortunately or gloriously — depending on your perspective — become a staple of college football's bowl season.
Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck was the recipient of the mayo bath this year after his Golden Gophers defeated Virginia Tech 24-10 Friday night in the Duke's Mayo Bowl.
It was largely domination from Minnesota, which went down 7-0 toward the end of the first quarter before ripping off 21 consecutive points in the second quarter. The Golden Gophers nearly doubled-up the Hokies in yards (404 to 223).
And the reward for such a performance? The Gophers' coach got a bunch of mayo dumped on his head.
You can watch the dousing and celebration — which featured a surprise appearance from Flavor Flav — below, if you dare:
