Former Sooner Gerald McCoy Pays Up on Red River Rivalry Bet, Wears Texas Gear

Gerald McCoy is a proud Oklahoma alum, but recently the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle found himself wearing burnt orange.

Again: A Sooner was wearing the color of the Texas Longhorns—all because his team let him down.

A couple of weeks ago, No. 10 Oklahoma was a big favorite in the Red River Showdown against Texas. With his Sooners undefeated and the Longhorns unranked, McCoy felt confident enough to make a friendly bet with Texas alums Henry Melton and Roy Miller on the game.

That bet came back to bite McCoy.

Texas jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter and held on for a 24-17 victory. The upset meant McCoy was going to have to sport the colors of a hated rival.

Yeah, he wasn't happy about it.

McCoy was very honest when talking about how he felt about losing the bet, via Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times:

Everyone in Norman, Oklahoma, felt the same way when Texas pulled off the upset, and now the sight of McCoy in burnt orange should make Oklahoma fans sick to their stomachs.
