As if watching his alma mater get destroyed by Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game wasn’t enough, JJ Watt also had to wear Buckeyes gear on Wednesday.
Watt, who became a star as a walk-on at the University of Wisconsin, made a friendly wager with Houston Texans teammate John Simon — a former linebacker at Ohio State — that the Badgers would beat the Buckeyes last Saturday. Ohio State ended up winning 59-0.

Considering Ohio State was a four-point underdog and has lost two Heisman Trophy-candidate starting quarterbacks this year, Watt probably felt pretty good about his chances. Better luck next time.
