Wisconsin Fumbled the Duke’s Mayo Bowl Trophy While Celebrating in the Locker Room

Wisconsin capped off a bad season on Wednesday with a 42-28 win over Wake Forest in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl.  The season ending victory was cause for celebration for the 4-3 Badgers.

They partied a little too hard in the locker room and ended up breaking the trophy.  Wisconsin quarterback Graham Mertz was the one who fumbled it.  Take a look:

Have no worries Mertz showed his true leadership ability and repaired the trophy himself.  He replaced the shattered glass football with a bottle of Duke's mayonaisse.

THAT IS LEADERSHIP! @GrahamMertz5 #QB1 pic.twitter.com/7lQG6pjcbV

Now it's a Duke's Mayo Trophy!  2020 can get you down but it can only put you out if you let it.  The Badgers aren't letting it put them out.
