Kicker: Gophers win the Mayo Bowl

NICK EICHER, HOST: In college football, it’s all about tradition. And with the championship game less than a week away, who doesn’t love seeing victorious players rain down Gatorade on their coach?

Green, blue, orange. It’s colorful, iconic, and maybe not something R-F-K Jr. would approve of (food dye!) but still all in good fun.

Seriously, though, I think there is a line to draw—a thick, gloopy white line.

At the Mayo Bowl a few weeks back, the victorious Minnesota Golden Gophers gave their coach, P.J. Fleck, something to remember: five gallons of mayonnaise poured right on him. Here he is with Fox Sports:

REPORTER: Was it everything you hoped it would be?

FLECK: Everything and more. I mean that’s the most interesting feeling that I think I’ve ever had in my entire life.

By “interesting,” I think he means disgusting. Mayo doesn’t belong on food—let alone on another human being.

MARY REICHARD, HOST: I've heard it's good conditioner.

REPORTER: Congrats on the season. Now go take a shower.

FLECK: Yea, you bet!

EICHER: It’s The World and Everything in It.
