JJ Watt dresses in Penn State gear after losing bet
J.J. Watt is a proud supporter of the Wisconsin Badgers. However, on Friday, he was wearing the colors of another Big Ten school.
Last weekend, Wisconsin faced Penn State in the Big Ten Championship Game. As is generally the case when the schools of former teammates face off, Watt and Devon Still placed a friendly wager on the outcome.
The Nittany Lions rallied from a 21-point first half deficit to come away with a 38-31 victory. As a result, Watt was forced to wear Penn State gear and didn’t look at all thrilled about it.

A bet is a bet.

Having to wear the shirt had to be bad enough on its own. But the hat too? To make matters worse, Watt’s younger brother T.J. was one of the defenders in coverage on the 18-yard touchdown pass from Saquon Barkley to Trace McSorley that gave Penn State a 35-31 lead early in the fourth quarter.
