9 photos of Lincoln Riley taking the inaugural egg nog bath after USC’s Holiday Bowl win

Lincoln Riley USC Kirby Lee the Louisville Cardinals Holiday Bowl San Diego Petco Park United States Louisville Orlando Ramirez

You’ve heard of the Gatorade bath for winning head coaches, and you’ve even seen the disgusting mayonnaise baths delivered to coaches who win the Duke’s Mayo Bowl. Now, I present to you the egg nog bath.

An almost perfect middle ground of the consistency between gatorade and mayo, egg nog was poured on the winning coach of the DIRECTV Holiday Bowl for the first time in 2023. That meant Lincoln Riley was the first coach to take nog to the noggin Wednesday after his USC Trojans beat Louisville.

Depending on your feelings about un-spiked nog, this was either the most disgusting thing you’ve seen, or something you’d be down to try.

These photos are guaranteed to reinforce whatever those feelings are.
