Tebow and Rutledge Wear Georgia Jerseys on SEC Nation in Athens

They donned the rival colors to settle a prior wager tied to Georgia’s 24–20 win over Florida.

Overview

  • The Florida alumni put on Bulldogs jerseys during Saturday’s SEC Nation broadcast in Athens with Georgia coach Kirby Smart on set.
  • Smart photographed the moment and joked about Tebow’s loyalty to Florida as the show played up the rivalry.
  • Coverage differs on who made the original bet, with some reports pointing to country star Luke Bryan and others to Smart.
  • Tebow flashed a message on his back reading “Go Gators! 3-1 vs. UGA” to note his playing record against Georgia.
  • The wager was activated by Georgia’s 24–20 victory two weeks earlier, and the jerseys were presented on air by mascot Hairy Dawg.
