U.S. — One young student athlete's years of hard work were finally set to pay off, as a college football player prepared to achieve his lifelong dream of playing in the Duke's Mayo Bowl brought to you by Duke's Mayo.
Zack Owens, who plays right guard for the Mississippi State Bulldogs, said that the dream of suiting up and taking the field for the Duke's Mayo Bowl brought to you by Duke's Mayo was his entire reason for wanting to play football in the first place.
"It doesn't get any more prestigious than this," Owens told reporters during media day for the bowl game. "Thousands of talented football players go their whole careers without getting to play in the Duke's Mayo Bowl brought to you by Duke's Mayo. It's such an exclusive group to be a part of. Did Tom Brady ever play in the Duke's Mayo Bowl brought to you by Duke's Mayo? Nope. But I am. I've reached the mountain top. Eat your heart out, Tom Brady."
The Duke's Mayo Bowl, which is brought to you by Duke's Mayo, provides a platform for college football players unlike any other condiment-based bowl game — an honor not lost on Owens. "I can't help but assume it'll just be downhill from here," he continued. "I mean, yeah, it would be cool to get drafted by an NFL team. Maybe have a chance to play in a Super Bowl someday. But playing in the Duke's Mayo Bowl brought to you by Duke's Mayo? That's the real dream."
At publishing time, Duke's Mayo had announced that every player on the team that wins the Duke's Mayo Bowl brought to you by Duke's Mayo would receive a free jar of Duke's Mayo.
