I have a bet pending with a coworker who is a vocal UK fan on the upcoming game. She talks a LOT of junk and I offered her up a friendly wager. If UK wins, I put a UK plate (Or bumper sticker) on the front of my Jeep for a calendar year, if UT wins she has to sport at UT plate or sticker for a year. She wants to wait until after we play Vandy to accept or decline.

So what's the most unusual or craziest bet you have made regarding UT football?

She wants to WAIT to see how we do against Vandy? sheesh

Ask her who it was UK played last night that required a last second shot to beat, as I am sure she is much more a b-ball fan.

Coach Cal probably planned the sloppy effort just to give John Wall an ESPN-worthy game winner.....

The sig and avatar bets in the recruiting forum can get pretty intense. Those dudes are freakin' insane.

I have a standing bet for a fifth of Makers or Jack on each of the three UT/UK baketball + football games. Beginning about 3 years ago, the guy on the other side insisted we play ATS. It has hurt my liquor cabinet, but I take some pride in the fact that he realizes he needs points.

I am a PGA golf professional and just lost a bet to an Ole Miss fan who is also a PGA professional. Our bet was mascot headcovers. I know have to use a Colonel Reb headcover for an entire year, until they play next year. Next year my buddy will have to use a smokey headcover.

My friend in Kentucky is a Neuro-surgeon and I am a professional bull rider. Our bet is simply change jobs for a day. Brain surgery in Kentucky ain't all that but lets see him stay on "The Widow Maker" for 8 seconds. GO VOLS:eek:lol:

Okay--this isn't on the outcome of a game, but I bet a friend of mine a small sum of money that Slick Shelley (remember him?) would have 700 yards receiving in a single season (inclusive of bowl games, but excluding any all-star type games like the Senior Bowl, etc) at some point during his UT career. There was a stipulation that if Slick was kicked off the team, left the team, or suffered career-ending injury, I could replace him with another receiver on the roster, BUT . . . that receiver had to be caucasian and not a Cottam. Austin Rogers was my guy and was on track that next season until he was injured.

I got 5 to 1 odds.

Austin has an outside shot of getting another year--which would give me an excuse not to pay up for another year-- but the bet contract stipulates that it has to be paid by March 2010.

Being a nearly 17 year resident of KY, I would have to say that you are most correct, VGiM. (job took me here...don't beat me up too badly)

Was drinking involved when this bet was made? :)

As it stands right now, I have a bet on next year's UT-UF game. If UT wins, I get a fifth of Johnnie Walker Blue Label. If UF wins, I have to give up a handle of Jack Daniels. Sounds totally fair to me.

You should appeal for the medical redshirt and get an extra year of eligibility on that bet! :crazy:

After the 59-20 beatdown in Gainesville there was a charity walk downtown. Our bet was the loser had to sport the winning teams shirt for the walk... sounds pretty straight forward, but my buddy being the cruel individual he is bought me a child's size small and I had to squeeze into for the entire walk...

Very embarrassing, but well played by him. I can't wait to get him back.

Actually, since onlookers probably assumed you were an actual gator fan, you succeeded in making all gator fans look that much worse. I say it came back to bite him.

I know a worker in the iHop in Presidential Court has a Florida tattoo that he said he got after losing a bet with his cousin.

Wow... you bet on Slick Shelley?

The only time I'd bet on a freshman WR getting 700 yards at any point during his career would've been a Donte Stallworth, or Gerald Jones level recruit. That stuff is just too unpredictable.

A good college friend of mine who lives in Orlando and works for Disney; now has two shiny new nipple rings for 6 months. This after he bet me UT would not cover the spread this year against UF. Disney does not allow visible piercings on men so he has to remove them each and every day he goes to work. I got to chose the rings and of course they have power T's on them.
