Siri, play some sad trumpet music for this unfortunate event.
On Wednesday afternoon, the Wisconsin Badgers faced off against Wake Forest Demon Deacons to win the Duke’s Mayo Bowl, and well, things took a sour turn quickly.
Before we even jump into what happened, we’d like to throw an honourable mention out to the Demon Deacons for having possibly the strangest name in not only collegiate athletics but all time, but we digress.
As the Badgers solidified their 42-28 victory, the team gathered in their locker room to celebrate like any other team who has won any sort of competition would. Though unfortunately, the Badgers ended up shattering their trophy.
Fellas, take it easy!
The glass Lombardi looking trophy was being held as you know, the team chanted “hey” until it just shattered all over the floor into pieces.
We shouldn’t laugh, but you can just hear the regret as the trophy smashes all over the floor.
The culprit to the crime is none other than the man who led the team to their victory, QB Graham Mertz.
We won’t lie though, Mertz had a hilarious yet resourceful solution to the problem…
Duct taping a bottle of Duke’s Mayo (you know, the sponsor of the Bowl Game) to the piece of the trophy that was still salvageable.
Maybe Mertz is onto something...Maybe the Goodyear Cotton Bowl could have a Goodyear tire as their trophy or the Chick-Fil-A Bowl can have a chicken sandwich taped to it?
We’re absolutely here for it.
