The Gophers finish their 2024 season on Friday night by taking on Virginia Tech in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C. Minnesota (7-5) and Virginia Tech (6-6) are meeting for the first time. The winning coach — either the Gophers’ P.J. Fleck or the Hokies Brent Pry — will gladly endure the bowl’s quirky tradition of having a bucket of Duke’s Mayo poured on his head.
