At the SEC showdown at Athens, fans are baffled by an uncanny sight. Celebrated Heisman-winning Florida alum and analyst Tim Tebow is clad in red and black. Obviously, questions popped up about the unexpected, with analyst Laura Rutledge satisfying our curiosity with a downhill wager gone wrong, leading The Swamp’s pride to put on a Georgia jersey.

It all began on the last episode of SEC Nation, with Country music superstar Luke Bryan featuring as the guest. On the pre-game panel, Tebow and Rutledge made a bet that if Georgia beat Florida, both of them would wear a Bulldogs jersey on their next appearance. “If Georgia wins, we’ll wear Georgia jerseys on TV. Will you do that?” prompted Laura, to which Tebow took on the wager. “Yes, course, I will.” And it happened..
Georgia beat Florida, 24-20, at Jacksonville, leaving the proud Florida alum draping his rival’s colors. If there’s one person who is absolutely loving that sight, it’s Kirby Smart. “He’s only doing it because he doesn’t have a coach to be loyal to at Florida right now,” says a delighted Kirby Smart. “He is only doing it because of that.”
