Last night, the Duke’s Mayo Bowl took place between the West Virginia Mountaineers and the North Carolina Tar Heels. This particular bowl has a controversial tradition of dumping the winning head coach in mayonnaise. Because of this, there tends to be a strong emphasis on the condiment throughout the bowl game. This emphasis sparked a crazy reaction from a West Virginia church after the game.
Announcers Put Mayonnaise on Pepperoni Roll
Believe it or not, this all started because the announcers in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl decided to have some fun with the condiment. They put mayonnaise on a pepperoni roll and decided to try this interesting combination. The two announcers seemed to love the combination. However, one West Virginia church felt differently about this.
West Virginia Church’s Insane Reaction Post
One church located in West Virginia condemned the act of putting mayonnaise on a pepperoni. The church not only condemned it but also made a strong statement as to what these announcers would have to do to be forgiven. Here is the full post from their Facebook page:
“It’s come to our attention that during tonight’s Duke’s Mayo Bowl, in which WVU competed and won, sports commentators were seen putting Duke’s Mayo on pepperoni rolls. Let it be known that putting mayo on pepperoni rolls is an abomination in the eyes of the Lord. Those who perpetrate this heinous act have committed a mortal sin which can only be forgiven by special dispensation from the clergy of West Virginia. Clergy are permitted to withhold absolution until proper contrition is made—either by burning a couch or making a pilgrimage to the Mothman statue.
This applies only to those who have put mayo on pepperoni rolls. The use of Miracle Whip is unforgivable.” -The Episcopal Diocese of West Virginia
Duke’s Mayo Bowl
With that out of the way, the state of West Virginia could rejoice about the result of the Duke’s Mayo Bowl. West Virginia cruised to a 30-10 win over North Carolina. As a result, West Virginia head coach Neal Brown was drenched in mayonnaise after the win.
This was an even more pleasurable result considering where they had to go to win this game. The Duke’s Mayo Bowl is played in Charlotte, North Carolina. Most people would assume that would give the Tar Heels a nice home field advantage. However, the Mountaineers were able to overcome this disadvantage.
