Former Oklahoma star Gerald McCoy loses bet, wears Texas gear (Photo)
Texas’ Oct. 10 upset victory over Oklahoma had some implications in the locker room of the Tampa Bay Bucs.
Bucs defensive tackle Gerald McCoy, an Oklahoma letterman, made a friendly bet with teammate Henry Melton, a Texas product. As a result of the Longhorns’ 24-17 win, McCoy had to wear Texas gear while meeting with reporters on Thursday.
He wasn’t very happy about it.

"My skin is burning," Oklahoma alum Gerald McCoy says of wearing Longhorns hoodie today. "I almost threw up this morning."

Melton even had McCoy do some pushups while the UT fight song played in the background. That’s cold.
Not only did McCoy lose his bet with Melton, but the loss was the first of the season for Oklahoma and one that could have major postseason implications for the Sooners.
