11 spectacular photos of South Carolina's Shane Beamer dripping in mayonnaise after Duke's Mayo Bowl win
SO. MUCH. MAYO.
FINALLY. It finally happened. The moment college football fans have been waiting way too long for finally happened, and it was glorious.
The Duke’s Mayo Bowl was one of this season’s most anticipated games, not because of the game itself but because bowl organizers corrected their previous mistakes and helped cover South Carolina coach Shane Beamer in mayonnaise after the Gamecocks victory over North Carolina on Thursday.
Last season, college football fans were crushed when Wisconsin beat Wake Forest in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl and Badgers coach Paul Chryst wasn’t doused in a celebratory mayonnaise bath. But this season, the bowl apologized and offered up $10,000 to the charity of the winning coach’s choice if he agreed to do the mayo bath, and both Beamer and North Carolina’s Mack Brown were in.
“Oh my god, I gotta go do this mayo bath,” Beamer told ESPN during his on-field interview.

So after the Gamecocks cruised to a 38-21 win, Beamer got what was coming to him: 4.5 gallons of slightly watered-down mayonnaise. And it was incredible (and really gross but that much more amazing, even if they nicked his head in the process).
Here are the best 11 photos from that spectacular moment.
