Ranking the 13 best (edible) things college football players could dump on bowl-winning coaches (2023)

College football bowl season means the annual tradition of dumping things other than water or Gatorade on winning head coaches is back. And we here at For The Win love ridiculous (and sometimes gross) celebratory baths.

What once started as a victorious Gatorade bath for the winning team’s coach has evolved into something so much more during bowl season. Sometimes, the contents of those giant jugs don’t even remotely resemble Gatorade and are instead tied to the games’ sponsors, making the post-game scenes even better with coaches covered in snacks or beverages or condiments.

So as the 2023-24 college football bowl season kicks off, we’ve ranked the 13 best things that should go in the coolers for players to dump on their coaches. These are purely edible suggestions, as fun as it would be to see the winning coach from the Myrtle Beach Bowl get a cooler full of sand dumped on him. The ranking and items suggested are based on the bowl’s sponsors, the bowl name itself and other random things.

Bowl organizers: Please feel free to take every single one of these proposals.
